Well it seems like there is a lot happening this summer with missionaries in the family leaving and you doing relief society things and then dad traveling, fruit tree planting and all that other good stuff. And yes I do know Forest not to well he’s the one that had a jeep or something like that and the amp that Kayden bought or something like that I dunno all I know is that I knew the boy. 

But things keep on going with me at the usual click. We had a pretty good week nothing ground shattering just a fairly good week where work got done and we were able to see a good number of people. 

As usual we saw Tony he was doing ok, this week was a little tough he wasn’t feeling to good so hopefully in the weeks to come we will be able to have some better lessons and conversation with him. We did have a good lesson with Clarissa the black lady that we have been teaching for 3 weeks now we were able to invite her to be baptized when she meets all the requirements which are necessary. She hasn’t been able to make it to church yet since she works from 7am to 11pm Friday through Sunday but next month she is going to use some of her personal time off to make it to church so she can get baptized. Not too sure if I’ll be here for it but at least she’s progressing and has a desire to make that covenant. 

We were able to see a pretty good number of people this week less active and a few new contacts. We also had a meeting with the zone and with president Topham. And as I’ve thought previous I don’t think the zone leaders like me to much since I’ve got a terrible habit of saying what I think and what I think about their ideas just the way I think it.  Needless to say in my old age I guess I’m getting a little tired of all the same talk with little to no action but I guess I need to learn to be more tolerant. 

But I guess since I’m getting so long in the tooth I better start sending some of my "garbage" home that I’ve acquired over the last two years so keep your eyes peeled for a package or two. Some of them will include records and I fear they will be soup by the time they get there but oh well I guess. 

But things are still going good I'm doing well with my companions and were still gettin er done I guess just keeping on trucking. But I hope that y’all are having a good one as well and as always it was good to hear from you love you and talk at you later.
