Hey Guys,

This week was good. I ended up back in Findlay. I will die where I was born! Things are good though. I mean, The zone is half the size of Akron with only twelve missionaries but a lot farther apart. So, there is less administration to do so we have a lot more time to go out and to do work in our area. It's good. I will just have to adjust to having more time on my hands than normal. This zone though is somewhat of a disaster. It's the smallest one in the mission and has been known for where they stick the dis-obedient misisonaries. We actually right now have some really good ones. some are just new so they don't always know what they are doing but that's okay. We just have to focus on a lot of training with our District Leaders and other missionaries as well so they know how to better work with their wards and what not. Overall, it's less admin but more ministering. It's a weak stake and a we have two wards and three branches. They struggle, the church doesn't quite opperate as the way it should so we need to make sure that our missionaries are outstanding so they will be able to assist their ward leaders better and inspire them to do better and do things the right way.

I'm with Elder Judd right now. He goes home at the end of this Transfer. I actually think that we may be the oldest companionship in the mission right now. As in, both of us have been out together than any other companionship added together either. We'll do good. He is from Sacramento CA. We are about an hour south of Toledo, It's all flat here too. I haven't been able to talk to President about anything. He e-mailed me and said he wanted me to call him but we have interviews on thursday so I think I will just talk to him then about it.

It sounds like there is a lot going on right now back at home, trying to get the house done and the yard as well. We are sure going to have a lot of plants. that will need a lot of matienance and will look great as long as we keep on top of it! It will be awesome though. I may be tempted to throw a party or two... or several lol

Sure. Trip to wherever cool in the winter will be fine with me... Are you still Going to Hawaii next month on that cruise you mentioned awhile ago with grandpa? If not, we could totally do that for Christmas instead!

Things are a little slower in Findlay, The ward isn't as enthused and there aren't very many people here even in the city. Also, we may have to re-arrainge our area boundries because we share the ward (of course) and our area has a lot less members in it to work with so that makes things harder as well. hopefully we will be able to get some more in it and start talking to them about referrals and getting things going here.

Well. so far things are pretty quiet. Love you guys!
