> so time really flys here! its crazy i feel like maybe just a month ago i was at home.. but im coming up on 3 months i think.. errr it was 2 months ago today i entered the mtc huh? cooool. i am certianly loveing it! "if i am honest", as bear gryls would say, the only thing that is really the most difficult is getting along with my compy now and then.. im just glad hes not my eternal companion.. hes a great guy but we are pretty good at having countless misunderstandings.. but we are good buddies.. but.. wheew.. i heard something from some older members a few weeks ago and it sounds like the Temple president is no longer the one that G-mom and Pop knew, if they are intrested i just wanted to share that, but i could be wrong!

> Elder jones and i have met some way cool people this last week, we were so busy teaching!.. im not sure if i mentioned it but we are teaching this older couple, Will Smith, and his wife, and hes probably the fresh prince of Sumter, they rock! we met them becuase of a media referal from the mtc, but that referal was for someone else who doesnt even look that promising; its awesome how the Lord works.. becuase Will smith and his wife live right down the street, and we would have never met them without that media referal..

> no really cool stories this week aside from the fact that Sister Dargan got baptized! she is really cool! so did you guys here about sumter on the news at all about that halloween thing? im curious! also i dont mean to sound mean but please feel free to ask me about my experiances in my emails.. like Brother Newkirks baptism or the deer incident or anything that i mention in an email you can always say something about it.. i want to hear every possible thing you can think of! and send me multiple emails if you want all throughout the week! if nothing is "going on" please just "talk to me" its getting depressing to get emails that dont even acknowledge my emails heh..but i love you guys still, and i know you are busy too, but there is nothing wrong with me getting awesome letters from the fam.. nothing will prevent me from focusing on the work.. but anywho! i love you all and the work is so awesome! life isnt suddenly perfect when you are a missionary and it is a whole new world of trials and struggles and a crazy amount of mixed feelings, but at the same time, it makes life just that much easier and enjoyable.. the next 2 years will surly be a process in the refiners fire.. every single day! love yall! (sorry if i was rude i just want you to know that i love you guys and emails and letters are important to me!)
