Alright so I finally had the presence of mind to remember to bring my camera and the usb thingy to send you guys pictures. so ´this email will be slightly shorter but it'll have pictures! and I'll just put like a list of what they all are on the bottom.

So nothing really exciting happened this last week. It was really busy but still not super awesome. I think I told you we had a guy who is going to be baptized soon, he was supposed to have his interview saturday but he smoked again and you can't get baptized unless you haven't smoked for at least 2 weeks so that's a no go. But he's working on it and he's got the desire but he's been smoking for like 30 years give or take so that's gonna be tough. We lost a family we were teaching... because they're catholic and didn't want to commit to anything. But, we found a new family who is part member, the wife was baptized but is inactive and they've had a lot of missionaries at their house... Can you say PREPARED!? Yeah so we taught him once, and commited him to be baptized sept 24th. Kus we can. ;)

Alright I think that's it so I'll throw in pictures now! and I hope they all are sent in order... I don't know why they wouldn't be but ya never know.

me and my first MTC comp Elder Pugh showing off our mission on the map. I'm pointing out how far north and south it goes. But it may actually even go farther north... I'm not positive.

The residence hall. A couple Elder's dressed up and acted like they were royalty. It was hilarious. 

The district pointing to where they are serving. (the Elder all the way to the left really isn't going to asia. There just wasn't room for him to point at california where he is at. Baha

The hot air balloon that almost landed on one of the buildings.
