7-7-10 letter

Things are great here in SLC, its a very humbling experience to know what it feels like to be called to serve in utah, but over the last week i have grown to love this area, we have alot of good investigators and lots of bad ones haha, but everyone is great in the eyes of god so we always keep encouraging those who are making wrong choices!! We have 3 baptisms this weekend, and like 3 more teh next sunday, so the work is going very strong here!

i have learned so much these past couple months, but there is still so much more to learn! So i got another new companion last Tuesday , his name is elder nelson he went to mtn view, He was in darts ward, pretty small world huh? Oh so today we just got a brand new mission president, his name is president miller, he seems really cool, but he isnt really my mission president, just a temporary one until i go to oaxaca! Oh and the other day me and elder dixon were riding to walmart, and he crashed so hard, he flew like 15 feet, haha it was pretty funny, he didnt really get hurt, just a little scrape he got lucky he didnt get hurt more, the other two elders in my companionship elder nelson and elder martin also crashed this week haha so they think im next!! In in the area where im serving is like on a big hill so we have to bike up hills all the time, it kinda stinks haha but im getting in good shape, i think im going to race lance armstrong when i get home haha... anyways, not too much more has happened here,.... oh wait so on saturday night we got to watch a movie because they didnt want us out on the streets from the parties and stuff which is funny because the 4th was on sunday, but its Utah so most people did do their stuff on saturday but we watched alice in wonderland, it was okay, have you seen it?? The real one with like johnny depp! but yeah now i think thats about it, that has happen this week, and i to get to go to tour the saltlake conference center on the 16th i think if im still here! so that would be a cool experience! sorry i didnt send you any pictures, i forgot my camera again, i didnt know we were going to email right now so i kinda lost track of time and all but i will next week for sure!! But i gotta go i love you!
