Hey Fam! (and everybody else who reads these emails!)

So this week nothing super exciting happened, I got my new comp, we taught some people, had a barbecue as a zone, people left, and we did an activity at the cemetary with the youth in one of the wards here. That was pretty cool because I sang most of the time, yeah... Bassett thing right? always gotta show off the singing voice. Did I tell you we sang at the baptisms last week too? Yeah me and one of the sister missionaries did a duet haha. Anyways though, enough showing off.

Sounds like things are going pretty well back home, I hope that you are all happy and healthy, because that's what is really important. We don't have too many super commited investigators but Diego decided that he really needs to get baptized and he just needs to stop being stubborn about it. So he said "whats the last saturday this month?" and I said "the 26th" and he laughed because I answered right off the bat and said "he's got them memorized" But then said that we could do his baptism that weekend. I would have tried to get it sooner but they are celebrating their son's birthday the week before so he's not gonna replace that, but oh well. His kids are hilarious. I am going to have to get a picture of them actually. I have pictures of Sebastian and his family so I'll get those sent home. Oh yeah, The picture I'm sending in this email is the sun almost setting. I didn't zoom in at all so the sun is all the way to the left in the photo but when I got here it was setting all the way to the right. If not farther to the right than is shown. crazy stuff right!?

The second picture i'm sending is what I took about a minute after I woke up. The sun is already up and shining over the roof next door to us.... Yeah... That's all I have to say about that.

Everybody here says that it's warm... I told them it's probably the same tempurature in utah that it is here and it's winter in utah. Baha.

I don't know if there's anything else to say. My new comp does stuff differently than I do.... Obviously. Because every missionary is different. But he is the new district leader here too and has 7 months in the field. I think i'm doomed/destined to be a district leader at some point if this keeps going with DL's as my companions. :/ about that. Oh well though I know that whatever I need to do I can do. And i'm just going to have to get used to my new comp.. Because as of yet i'm not used to how he does things. and so inevitebly some things don't suit well with me. but you all know how I deal with things so I'm just gonna suck it up and try to follow the spirit in dealing with his quirks and the things that don't go well together. Because that's all you can do sometimes. I'm sure he is my companion so that I can learn something from him. I just don't know what it's going to be. We'll see.

That's all though family. Talk to you next week. Love you all!
