As much as I would like to I do not think I can start school in the Fall. But I think Mom and I have it worked out where I can move out there and take classes online and get a job so I can keep busy with things to do. It will mean as well that I will be a little less rushed. One thing I have decided in my life is that I am not going to worry about things that I cannot control. I am not allowed to come home early so I will just make the best of it. Time moves by pretty fast here but a new area would be nice. I could use a new companion too to be honest but it is not too bad. It rained this morning a little but other than that not much. That is amazing that gas is soo cheap. Do you think that it will stay like this for a long period of time? Cut the dogs hair for me. 

Not much has changed here but our next two weeks should be exciting or maybe just a little different. We have to take a bus downtown tomorrow morning to get materials that we use to preach. President changed the rule so now we have to go do this every two weeks. I do not mind the buses too much if I have a seat. We are also leaving early morning Friday on a bus to marry a young couple who we are teaching who will be baptized on Saturday. They are way cool. I will take some good pictures. We also are teaching 4 brothers recently. Two brothers and a set of twins. They agreed to be baptized but their mom said we have to explain baptism to her and why they have to be baptized again. But at least I think she will allow it which is awesome. 

I changed areas where I work in December when the new guys came so luckily for me I have not been in this area too long. We are lucky as well that our area is not very small. Some areas here have like 6 roads. Imagine walking everyday for months on the same 6 roads.... It would get old. 

One other thing that was cool this week is I got invited to sing in the Mission choir next week which is awesome. We are practicing next Monday and singing for some Stake event in the city on the 28th. It should be fun. It payed off to sing in the Christmas Party choir in December. I think that is all, One of the guys who I was with me in the MTC in Provo in my district is training an Elder that is coming here from Scotland, which is interesting, Our mission consists mostly of missionaries from the US, Spanish countries, Brazil and a couple Africans. We have a elder from Cape Verde in our zone and I talked to him the other day and he said it was hotter here than in Cape Verde... Go figure. Thanks for the updates, lots of love. Go Lebron.
