November 17th

Washington Apples!!!

Dad,
I don't have my new companion until tmrw. As for now I'm hanging out in Othello with the Zone Leaders. Tmrw I'll pick up my new comp and we'll head off to Zion, Aka Warden. His name is Elder Garrett. (don't know if I spelled that right). He is from Utah, I think, and he has only been out for one transfer (6 weeks) longer than I have, so this will be pretty fun. It's going to force us to learn spanish (meaning rely on the Lord). I'm glad I have a young companion because that means he is still ready to work and will have energy to do it.
Tinsmith's departure was relatively unexciting. Just said bye, then drove with ward mission leader Bobby Whitaker to Othello to work with the Zone Leaders for a few days.
But we were supposed to have 4 baptized this last weekend and nothing happened.
The four people who should have been baptized will be baptized. Just probably not this weekend. Two weeks from now would be a reasonable goal though. I really feel like Warden can have 8 people baptized by the end of the year, at least.
Thanks for the email. Go Cowboys! Go BYU! and GOOOOOO JAZZ!!!!!!

Mom,
You and Dad should coordinate better, I haven't heard a thing about Stacy's new car. What happened to the green one, can I have it?
thanks for all your prayers and support. I love you. Feel free to pray for my companion and I that we can have the gift of tongues, and that we can get the 8 baptisms before the end of the year.
Thanks, Love you.
