well i'm not to trunky right now, it still feels weird thinking that i only have that little left, i don't think time has hit me yet perosnally. wow, so jmaes is going to peru, that should be fun.

wakefield has changed quite abit. when i left there was a bout 40-50 members each sunday but there been a few baptisms and a few fmailies that moved in and now there is about 60. theres a new branch preisdnecy here, and a few families that have moved, other than that it's about the same. but right now the area is on fire, theres about 6 people set for baptism and one of them has a pretty cool story behind it. her mom joined the church a little less than a year ago, and two weeks ago she died suddenly and she is alot more intersted now. alot of the members here were very excited to see me again. the branch president wife when i was here she, was very excited to see me again. it's defiantly been fun.

address is still the same it P.o box 964, wakefield, Va 23888. so my companion name is elder conlin, from pocotello. he's been out for a while as well, he is actually going home 3 months after me. and his last companion here, just finished his mission. so people are strating to call him the killer.

so i actually have some funny stories for this week. yesterday was a sad one, we were leaving an invetsigators house, and as i got to the door the dog was trying to get it, so out of reflex i shut the screen again not to let it out and all of the sudden the dog started whining, i was lloking at it and was wondering what is this dog doing. and at the same time not realizing i was still trying to shut the door. it turns out it's paw was caught in between the door. i felt so bad. but the dog is fine now. but the better story is we went to teach a family and one of them volunteered to say the paryer, and then we stood there in cirlce holding hands, a baptist thing, and we stood there for about 4 minutes waiting for him to say the paryer, i was thinking are they just saying a slient prayer to themselves, i wasn't sure what was going on, so we didn't say anything and it turns out the person forgot he was saying it. so were teaching this family named the fishers and they are awesome, there son has been a member for a few years and they never have been intersted, and now they are. the reason there intersted is so there family can be together forever. pretty sweet huh.well other than that not to much more i know to say, but it's been fun being here again. it's had some sad things though, like one person that i atught she is going down the wrong road. she wants to be out on her own and basically wants freedom of no rules, and apparently she moving in with someone that has had problems with the law, so it's been heartbreaking seeing that. but all we can do is hope she comes back. well sorry to end on a sad note but things are doing very god here, talk to you later.
