A Math Formula

          Sorry about getting this e-mail out so late. Our library’s internet was down so we just made it to the community college.

          Today for preparation day we went to the local rec center and played basketball for a few hours. We went with about 6 young men and as we played a lot of other kids came to join us. Most of them were not taller than my hip…. Needless to say I didn't shoot that much ( one of the kids started talking to much smack… oh then it was on!!! haha) What made it really good was the fact that we had a boy who is part of a family that a lot of the members of the ward have been working with.

          Well one funny thing is that we have this investigator and he was introduced to the church by a LDS girl that he met on line. But anyways he left to go visit her in Utah and he left engaged but when he came home a week later he wasn’t engaged anymore…... He told us when he got home that this would be his last night that he was there cause they got married! They had only met twice in person. He really wants to be baptized but he is getting baptized in Utah as he is leaving this Thursday.

          The weather has turned into summer here. It has been so nice for so long but this week has been in the high 90s and broke 100 a few times... so I have a math formula for this; hot+humid+bike+tie+backpack+black pants +many miles = Missionary work+sweat. See it’s all very simple.

President Cottrell is leaving this week and we get our new President. I will meet him for the first time next week, and then I will see him a second time when it’s time for me to……..

well I love you all so much and I'm so grateful for all the help you all have been to me on my mission it has been great!

Take care and have a great week!
