No Transfer

I have a couple of questions.  With the fast offering, I didn't realize you donated every time you fasted.  So that's good to know. I have never done that.  In the states, has the church released stuff about the church, like what we do in the temple? And stuff with Joseph Smith and all that, because they have down here, but we don't get the pictures. Save those if you can, because I would like to see the pictures. Also what did the boys do for exercise on their missions? And like what did they talk about with the members and all that, like small talk stuff. That cord you asked about in the package is for the speakers. I have my cord for the camera, so don't worry. In this sector, some of the computers don't have the little things for pen drives and all that, so I can't do anything or send pictures. Thanksgiving, well it's nothing down here. They have had stuff up for Christmas for two months, and I heard their Christmas isn't that good. You asked me where I email.  I go to an Internet place. I haven't seen a library since I got here, and we can't use the members computers. For Mother's Day and Christmas, I think I can skype you guys, but I don't know if it will be on Christmas. It might be the 24th. I don't know. I will probably know in a few more weeks when its closer. Honestly I hit the point where I had to wait a long time to call so I have a lot of time for my first call. 

Boston is scared of dogs, but loves snakes?  I can't believe him. I will try to send a pictures this week, but it just depends on the computer I have this week. It would be better to have those old colored macs then these ones,  but other weeks they are better. 

The bishop gave us a referral this week.  She showed up for church, so we will teach her on Tuesday and see whats up. She knows people in the ward, so that will help. The thing is, we have people to teach, but we can never find them home, and if we do, it's like one time a week and honestly if you teach them one time a week, they will never get baptized. We did a ton of contacts this week and were basically in the street the entire week. We needed to find new people. I didnt' get transferred and I still have the same companion for one more change.  After this transfer, my companion will go, I am sure. This was the first time I have had a companion for more then six weeks. I emailed to Trave and he has had the same companion the whole time. I thought last week I was going to have my fifth companion, but I am glad we stayed together at least for one more transfer. It's super hard to get changed that much with different companions because everyone teaches so different. However, I have learned a lot from each companion. 

I have made a list of weird stuff of like references in the scriptures like Jesus' name and Old Testament stuff. Like that there are several books referenced in the Old Testament, but they are not contained in the current version of the Old Testament. I have my scriptures filled with stuff like that, and that really helps me. 

Yesterday I talked to a lady who said she didn't want her daughter to get baptized until she was older because she wanted it to be her choice.  But it was never the daughter's choice. Its been the moms the whole time. Today we went to the store on the bus. The bus I was in and another bus were like side by side and got super close and then they hit each other. It was interesting. Other then that, not much has happened. Have a good week.

Love,
