My week was good, way nolng though. I got the package with the under armor in it if thats the one you are talking about. Thank you somuch for sending it. It's starting to get cold, like the past couple of days the high has been in the 50's it sucks oh well, that's why I have the jacket right? On Halloween night and Newyears Eve they don't want us out so they let us watch a movie, like a disney movie but since this halloween fell on a Sunday we were told we could only watch a church movie so we thought it was goin to be way boring and I thought I was going to fall alseep. When the movie started the dreamworks logo popped up and elder Carnline and I were like what no church movie is produced by them. It turned out we got permission to watch How to Train Your Dragon. That is such a funny movie. If you haven't seen it see it please, I think you'll love it. Last night I went on my first exchange. That's where you change comps for the night, we sitched with the zoneleaders and I was in charge of my zone last night. It was so scary. I had to make all the decisions and everything. Itw as hard, but I didi it. The Zone Leader said I did good for my time. Our next transfer date is Thanksgiving dumb huh,. But I don't know if I'll stay or go so if you find a bike before then send it.If not, send it after that okay? I'm glad everything is goin good back home. I miss you guys and love you all.

Everything is going good here. It's like 80 today but its moist outside. I love the weather so far it's amazing. I've got lots of pictures for you guys, but I might just send the card home when it fills up. If you want t o look at bikes on line a good one is trek. If you find a new one for around 200 thats a steal. Tell Ky and whoever is sending packages that it is better to go throught the post office because the mission home can foward those but not Fedex or UPS we've only had those 2 member meals so fare. We have one tomorrow. It should be fun. The members are way nice they always ask if we need anything, but we never say we do. Me and my comp are getting along pretty well. He is a funny kid. All he does is joke which is good, but he also knows when to be serious and get to work. I new that the kids boudl be quiet because the Lord wound't want them loud during the sacrament. That's how he works. I had my first bible bash with a guy. we totoally proved him wrong, it was pretty funn. Did you know that B.I.B.L.E. stand for something; Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. How weird is that. I think I might buy another electric razor because I have to shave everyday it fills in fast. When I get back I'm going to grow a beard. You just wait. The instant smoke is just one of those stuipd toys like at South Weber Days that never work. It's funny, but ya everything is going good out in Leesburg, VA

My first area I don't need a bike so that's good. Its geting kinda cold but I just wear my hoodie to bed so I'm not cold. My comp loves being cold he always has the ac on it sucks. I pull a mom and turn them away from me so I don't get cold. Some gloves would be nice, my hands kinda get cold, but I'm good. I was kinda complaining that we weren't getting any member meals and of course God heard and we had 2 on Sunday. I was so full you'd be proud of me. I ate kidney beans. I really don't like the texture. That's why I don't like them. It's weird, I've been out here a week already and we don't have any investigators yet, which sucks. My comp is kinda lazy and he never really wants to go tracking, but we do sometimes. I'm thinkin about buying a garmen so I know where I'm going it's so hard to tell directions. The trees really haven't started changing a whole lot, but Thye are. I've got some pictures. One of the members as over a thousland acres of land and she said we could come and take pictures whenever we wanted. That will be way cool when the leaves really start to change. We are kinda teacking these two black boys, but they never come to church. Either they sleep in or the memebers don't go pickthem up. It's so dumb. I wish we could pick them up but we can't. Today is my pday Wednesday, we are going to play gator ball at noon I'm not really sure what that is but I'm sure I'll do great at it. I had my first bible bash two nights ago it was sweet because we weren't yelling and he just kept trying to say something else. It was way funny my comp said it takes about 2 days to get letters home so ya I gotta go Love you all.

Hey Family
It is way different here in Virginia. Its not to cold yet, but good thing you sent my jacket, I have needed it. If you wanna scope out a bike @ home you can. I'm in a care for my first transfer so that is pretty nice. We drive a 10 Chevy Malibu or something like that. Send my under armor and maybe some packing tape and some Jerky and maybe a sweater to wear. We use the packing tap to laminate stuff it is really cool. My father or trainers name is Brazell he is very funny. But is so weird we really can't do anything til people get home, but oh well. Our apprment looks really nice from the outside. but the inside is a different story. It was way dirty when we first got here but we've kinda cleaned it up. Our P-day is Wednesday now so right in the middle of the week. Has anyuthing changed there. I got Taylers letter today it was nice. Some peopleheare are so funny when they say no they kinda slide aroudn it, it's funny. But then others straight up say we don't want anything to do with you guys and all we can do is laught it's funny.

Hey Mom
Yeah everything is going good and I did get everything so i hope all works out. Thanks for the facewash and, we leave this Wednesday not the last one. Sorry, I didn't even think about that HA, Oh Well. We have to be at the travel desk at 4 in the morning tha is so so so early, i don't wanna do it but I wanna get to DC so bad. We had to watch every session of conference in our suit coats, it was so hot, but we didn't hos yesterday, but that's all right. I got to play baskeball. I play with this one kid from mesa Arizona his name is Preston Richardson. He's is short like me and really fast and can jump, so it's good for me to guard him. I can't wait to eat normal food. All the food taste the same, kinda blah, but there are some things that are good. The rest of the time here is going to class and doing TE's which are teaching evaluations where we teach a teacher and they tell us what we need to work on. I'm slowly loosing patience with my comp. He always leaves me or he is never ina ahurry and it just kinda sucks and everytime in lessons he just summerizes what I say so annoying, but oh well. I get a new one in like 6 dys so it's okay, but I'll write you some more to day during laundry, but it will be a letter

We just got done with the temple and thought since we had some time and we're in our suits we would come and check our emails but to my surprise I didn't have any emails. well, I guess thats cool but thats alright, I'll write you guys today and send some pictures I toom. We kinda taught somone, but they are members pretending to be investigators. They were really good at acting we are going to ask them to be baptised Tuesday, hope all goes well. Oh, I had to get a flu shot and I hd to pay $20 if you wanna put that back in that would be nice, but I'm glad i brought a lot of garments we have bym everyday and I Sweat because of basketball but its way fun. There are a lot of good people here and I think I brought to many socks, HA. I still am wearing my nike ones good thing i brought those. tell dad I needed 3 pair of shorts, one to sleep in, one to for gym and one for P-days. so :p, thats for him. We had the chance to talk to a girl that wend to DC South mission and she said our president likes combe overs so I am now sporting the combe over you'll see that in my pictures I send you. I kinda look weird. the food is kinda weird. Somehtings I really like for example cereal HA JK. There are other things I like, but on ther hand there are some things that aren't the best. but I'll get over it. Yesterday they said we were going to be hosts next week but it turns out we were hosts this week. HA our first week. It was weird, but I just hung out with Dallin Adams that went to Weber, it was way fun. How are things going at home? How much did dad loose in Vegas? What did you guys do? What have you guys been doing anything fun with out me... like a cruise or a trip to disney land for example. They said we would get our flight arrangements in a week and a half so we should get it by saturday, maybe later. We are all so excited to get those. The foreign spekaing missionaries kinda get mad when we tell them. It is way funny tho, like Braxton and Dallin get mad that I leave the sam dy as Dallin and Adam Peterson is still here. I think he gets the most mad, but oh well not my fault. My testimony is growing and so is my faith. I know we are sons and aughters of God and he loves us and if we sincerely pray to him he will answer them and point us in the direction in which we need to go. I have already felt the blessings here and I hope that you guys back home have felt those blessings as well. I love and hope you get my letter soon and hope to hear back from you ASAP I love you all.
