Family,

Did you know that in two days I will have been out for six months? Not too much out of the ordinary. We set our record for most tracting contacts last week. A tracting contact is when you talk to someone at the door. Last week we had 123.

Its still warm. I don't mind it. I figure it's that much energy less that I have to produce. I figure I should conserve my energy for all the walking and talking.

We watched the fire works for the fourth of July. We got to go with a member and we sat on top of their car.

I also officially met the president and his family this week. They have 12 kids and 4 are with them. They have a returned missionary a son about to go on a mission and twins. (girls fraternal) Even though they're not identical they seem the same to me. As they were leaving the one gave me a dangly handshake, so when I shook the hand I cracked her wrist. I thought to myself 'oops, oh well'. And then the same thing happened with the other twin too. I almost did a double take to see if it was the same girl, but it was her twin sister. Once again 'oops, oh well.'

We don't happen to have a somewhat recent family picture, do we? I might want a small wallet one just in case anyone asks me about my family.

Hope you had fun in Mexico, or New Mexico.
