"So i guess its time to talk a little about my life this week. I came to my new area on Tuesday and my new companion is awesome. His name is elder Allen and we get along way well. I think i said it last week but he loves sports so 3 times a week we get up and go play ultimate frisbee and the other 3 days we run and everyday we work out at night. Im really excited for this transfer it should be fun. Wen it start warming up we will probably go play ultimate frisbee every morning. We wake up at 5:45 and run down about a mile to a park and meet a bunch of people there and play. It is a blast. Right now its been raining and the field is muddy but its fun to go slipping around and trying to play in it. The house i am in is so nice. It's two stories and i get my own bathroom. Right now it is freezing cold because we only have a heater in our bedroom so at night it is nice but when you go to the bathroom or downstairs to cook breakfast i can see my breath. But it is still really nice and im glad to be here. We have had a lot of success already this week too. The first day i talked to this man and his 2 kids in the road and got his phone number and the next day called him and all of them met us at the church and had an awesome lesson. We are meeting with them again this week and they are really excited and excited. We also got in 4 times tracting but no return appointment came from it. Owell atleast we are still working hard trying to find people. One house we got in was this funny man who kept trying to get us to drink Raki with him. At the end of the lesson we asked him to pray and he was like i cant i have been drinking and i cant pray when i drink. And then he was like i would go to the Mosque (because he is Muslim) but i cant because i drink, lol. It was so funny listening to him. He just kept saying i want to do this stuff but i cant because i drink and im drunk if i didnt drink i could and would but i drink, lol. He was a funny man. Maybe one day he wont drink so he can pray. One thing about this new area is that we walk tons. We run in the morning and then throughout the day we walk a good 6 miles i would guess. Our house is a mile from the church and then we go from the church and back to our house atleast 4 times a day plus with the other walking and tracting we are on our feet alot. Thank you for sending me a package i hope it wasnt to hard or expensive. I will let you know when i get it. Today we are going to a nice restaurant to eat called Era. They have such good pasta. Then i think we are going to play ping pong at the church. I must say im pretty good at it now. I have been beat a few games but never in a tournament game we have here. I probably just jinxed myself, lol. Alright i think that is all i have for this week. Sorry i didnt write tons but hopefully i will have more next week. I cant believe February is over and it's almost May."
