Dear Family,

So,my companion doesn't like riding his bike so we just walk everywhere. :)  I get along with him good though.  He's interesting.  He has to have noise going on all the time and it's usually him doing  something or saying something.  He's pretty funny though and we get along good.  If something is going on with him though you will know about it.  He told me a couple times today about this rash he thinks he's getting in his behind that I just don't really want to know but he says it all!  Running is good!  I like it a lot being able to run to the beach and everything.  I'm getting back into shape it feels like too because I can go a lot faster for a lot longer than I could when I first got here.  The weather is good.  It's like hot some days and a little chilly other days but it's staying around 80 degrees I'd say.  So still not really fall weather but we will see what the weather will be like normally here.  We don't actually have very many investigators.  Our area is struggling and we just walk all day trying to talk to and go by people but it's hard...  I've heard that we just stay in for Halloween when it gets night and like clean or something.  We'll see!  I'm almost done with Jesus the Christ so I'm expecting to just have a lot of reading to do there with that.  My apartment is about the same.  Super small.  But it has carpet which I like a lot more so I like it!  It's cozy.  And it has an air conditioner which is way nice because it gets toasty reeally fast when you use the oven or something. 

Well as far as stories from this past week, I don't have anything too interesting.  The biggest thing is that we had a Halloween party on Friday with the Rama and the English ward which was pretty fun!  We got to jump in the bouncy house for a bit. :)  Don't worry I had someone take pictures.  It was only me and my companion then Elder Campbell and an Elder called Elder Wolfenden.  He's from Sandy.  But yeah that was pretty cool!  Not really much else though as far as that stuff. 

We were walking one day and it was weird because everyone was like saying hi and stuff and so we were walking and this gay guy is walking the opposite way and I just kinda nodded at him and he gave me a high five as he came by and said in a very gay voice "What's up my hookah?"  I just kinda said hi but it was pretty interesting. :) 

It's been hard but honestly not the hardest thing I've ever done.  Now that I am doing it it's weird to think about...  But that one summer that I did the 1000 miles was harder than this in every way.  But yeah I'm doing good!

Well that's about it from this last week.  Hopefully I'll get some interesting things to say about Halloween. :)  Anyway have a good week!  Have fun with Halloween and everything!  Don't get too stressed out or anything!  I love you!
