Just me being silly. The pastor tag is Elder Wangemann's. Below is a funny road out in Goochland.

well everything is dried up now. we now are having quiet nights of sleep. so no more insomnia. the carpet was to be fixed on last wensday but it turns out that it was still alittle wet so on friday, everything was good. everything is mostly fixed now, other than the hole in the wall they made to fix the pipe, but other than that it good. well i should be getting mail anyways. on wensday i sent to letters, one that said, elder johnson, the other said steven johnson, i got them both, so everything is fine now. so send everything you got for me here now. so this week has been interesting, between trying to sleep with five loud blowers on.
on wensday we had a district meeting and i did a little training on the missionary handbook, it went good for my first one. elder wangemann did one as well. he started out saying this week was been werid. first our apartment flooded and then i got my going home papers. i then said, woohoo. everyone just started laughing. one of the sisters that loves to give people a hard time really enjoyed it. elder wangemann got a kick out of it as well, then said he would get me back for it. but the meeting went great. on saturday i went on exchanges with elder taylor. i got burned pretty good there, but it was good, we got to talk quite a bit. there was aslo a baptism on saturday for one of the sisters investigators. it was amazing from what i heard from elder Wangemann and Elder Green. the nioght before the sisters were just frantic because they could not get a hold of her. she ends up calling them at about ten o'clock that evening and told them they shoul;d not have been worrying and such. then after she was baptsied she gave a heart tocuhing testimony about the Savior. that brought the whole room into tears. elder green came out of there so ready to go find someone to teach. he's an incredible missionary and he's only been out three weeks, it's crazy.
it's been a great week. we've been teaching a person named Jim who is very solid. he hasn't started reading the book of mormon yet but he just sucks everything in. so he is doing very well, we both think, once he starts reading everything is going to move fast with him.
well i'm glad to hear that grandma is doing better. i also heard from elder neilson a while ago that he has met the lady who wrote popcorn popping on the appricot tree. she lives somewhere in virginia. man that's annoying with brett farve. but everything has been going well here. it sounds like it next week is going to be very hot. yesterday it reached a hundred, but many people offer water here though. but thats it for this week.
