This weeks has been wet and rainy. It has rained everyday for at least 10 min. The most was for 3 hours non stop where we were working. We found out that 3 out of the 4 sisters for training calls so that means at least two people are leaving. And this district has been together for 3 transfers until I came in this last transfer. Also this is the last week in this transfer and I find out in Friday if I'll be moving.

I do live in an apartment and we were the best members this week because everyone else is out of town or lives out of town. So we so a a lot involving the priesthood and responsibilities of the quorums.

This area is a little different. there are a lot of ranchers so going to them is kinds hard because they are so far out there. But the landscape is beautiful and there is nothing on it just open fields. We still do missionary work like normal knocking doors, talking to people. We will be able to go and set up a booth at the college campus in August once classes have started. We might get ab copy of a replica gold plates, so that's kinda cool. Oh yeah look up World College. It's odd but it's the only one in the Unites States is in Las Vegas NM.

I have gotten to know almost all the families in the branch. There is a family that has been here just a few days more than I. They are cool. There are a lot of interesting people here. I got the package along with a package from Grandma Dubois, that was kinda funny. Pamela looks so cute in the pictures and it will be good for everyone to know how to swim. The drive to Santa Fe is just the same long road every time. We go because of district council. We meet with the district leader in Santa Fe. We get more miles than the sisters so that's why we always drive. The branch is cool. I love the 3rd Sunday, we have a potluck and it's yummy.

Nothing much has happened this week except I found a family of an elder I met in the MTC. And we drove to and from Santa Fe 4 times this week. That's 130 miles round trip and at least an hour each way. We have drove a lot . The truck has almost hit 300 miles and it was brand new. The branch has a pot luck every three weeks and we had one yesterday. It was yummy. Nothing has really progressed with our investigators. We have tried something to help them know all that they need to know so hopefully it works.

This is mostly a driving area just because of the size. I have been to Santa Fe twice and I am going today and tomorrow as well. We go so much because we are just so far from everyone else. It's just easier. The weather is crazy. We had a lot of rain and it hailed for like 20 min. The ward is a branch. We get  about 20 - 30 members a week. They feed us when they can but we eat at home a lot. I was wondering if you could send me some recipe for the next week that are fast and easy. . This is a ranching town. Our branch president has 1300 acres, I think or something crazy like that. There are a lot of interesting people here. There is a pirate lady that walks around saying pirate things. We have a lot of potentials that we should find out more next week. Also I would love to get a copy of Hank Smith CD's.

The shirts are fine and the fit and work. The town is small but we have a lot of area around it. Sending pictures are fine. I haven't been home sick and I've had the pictures up since I got t the mission field, so send them if you have them. Las Vegas ghas a huge 4th of July festival. It's four days long and they have a little plaza here and it's like a little fairgrounds in there. Then the high school has all the rides which is just a few blocks away. It's crazy here and so are the people. We have the state mental hospital in Las Vegas and apparently people leave the hospital a lot more than they should so they just walk around. It's fun. We are in a branch, we have like 30 active members but they are solid. It's really cool we have a truck. It's a Tacoma 2017 and we have put 1300 miles on it in this area and they have had it for 3 weeks. We have to go to Santa Fe at least once a week sometimes more, yea it's fun.

My companion is Elder Chesler and he had been out 10 months, he's a good guy.

This picture I think the boys will like, it has a suppressor.
