Family,
Well I still am in the threesome, so far i haven't gone crazy. It's good because we can split up and do more work, but its indefinitely a little noisier. The other day I went with the English Elders on exchanges. I had a fortune cookie that said that Music will play a part of my future. Then since that week they have started making me conduct (lead the singing) in Elders Quorum. I think I'll do what Luke did and conduct with my tie(with a coathanger) my last Sunday.
One of our investigators (Reina) has a baptismal date for Oct 19, which will probably be after I leave. We have transfers on Oct 6. We found a really cool lady Saturday too, so things are moving along slowly but surely.
Hasta la vista, bebe.

Sept 15,2008 Response to Andrea
Very good memorizing Baby Cakes,
If you count the pictures I've sent the family, with Elder Harding 8 were baptized and in this place 1, and I personally did 6 of them.
The hacky sacks were 1 dollar so sell them for 2 if you can, just make sure you sell them for at least 1 dollar or more. If you want to make money, that is. I'll see what I can do for your birthday.

Family,
I had the chance to be companions with the President for the evening one day this week. President and his wife picked a companionship to go out with from every zone. Since we had three they picked us two to go with Sister Reeves, and me to go with President.
Luckily none of our appointments fell through that day and President got to meet all our investigators. It was really lucky. I wanted to look good in front of president. I had the whole night planned out in my head so everything went smooth, even though i forgot my planner. I don't know how he didn't notice, oh well.
He was talking about how a lot of new spanish missionaries are coming in, in the next couple months so I'll probably have to train. That would be pretty crazy.
When's Julia's birthday again, I forgot. Ha ha just kidding Oct 8, 1792.
See ya later Alligators,

Family,
This week while we were at the Doctor for Elder Farrington, we were in the waiting room and met someone who reminded me of Chan Cho. He was a little boy there with his Mom. He said "Why is he here, and him, and him?". Pointing to us missionaries. Then the Mom said "Why don't ask him?". "No, they're scary, except for him", and then he pointed at me. So obviously I'm not a scary missionary, according to Chan Cho at least.
Oh, Erika wrote, so I'll need her address so I can write her at school.
Everything's about normal with the work.

Letter with Pictures/cards Sept 1, 2008
Me about to baptize Marible 8/31/-08
Me, Farrington, Wilkinson After getting caught in the rain. 8/30/08Familia,
Last week was transfer week. So I didn't have time to make Dad a card or anything. So that's why you get it now. And Danny gets a card too.
Well, I'm with two companions again. Elder Farrington and Elder Wilkinson. Elder Farrington will spot people 100 yards away and go chase them down. Elder Wilkinson is one of the only people I know who color coordinates his planner. That means he's really smart. Get this. He's color blind, though.
Well, after a long time Maribel finally got baptized. She's been investigating for over ten years. And I got to baptize her.
Hopefully now with some new blood in here things will start to go better. We have three. Hopefully we can use it to our advantage.
That's a pretty short letter but my mind is fried from making Danny's rediculously cool card. So, here are some pictures, too.
