cool. sorry i couldnt email yesterday, being a holiday.

but i'm still here.

ya i knew ethan, know. he's cool. cole hunter married his sister. so that's cool.

today is transfer meeting, so i don't have to worry about him for much longer. haha.......

the weather has been fine, still a little cold, but not freezing. to me. the others in the district don't like the cold.

idk if i need anything just yet. i was wondering what my debit card account is, but i think it's still a little over 100.

i might use that today cuz my lds card is running out. actually we got new ones, with bank of america. we had the jp morgan chase cards before.. idk why we changed.

oh man, theres gonna be SOOO many people there today. with the new missionaries. and i heard that next transfer every single sister currently in the mission is going to train. there will be about 13 new sisters. and even the ones who were here 6 weeks has to train... that's so many girls!

wow, tony it's crazy how fast a year goes by. i'm waiting for brians' in april.

i'll write youall a big letter in a bit. - love ya

so sunday, pres anderson. the branch pres asked the elders quorum who wants to go to the temple in the morning, and no one raised their hands. then i did and said, if you talk to president, i wanna go. kinda jokingly but i still wanted to go. then amazingly pres calderwood comes to our sacrament meeting. so jean baptiste asks him if we can go, and he said yes. so well we'd go with a recent convert. so that night we find out that the RC isn't going. i was sad. but then in the morning. we went anyway!! so that was my first time in the subway, in manhattan, we went to central park, cuz it's like just behind the temple. we did baptisms. so i got to do some confirming the HG to a bunch of people, which was awesome. then i got to baptize some people, which was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually confirmed and baptized the same people. that was cool.. oh man it was amazing. but the temple is pretty small. like the baptistry is on the main level. pretty small place. only three changing stalls. then we went upstairs to to chapel, like a real ward building up there. it's so cool.

funny thing though, once we come out of the subway into the city, the first thing i see is an aston martin right in front of me. and i was happy about that. i didn't even notice the temple was right there, behind it. i didn't know the subway stairs lead right to it. like it's just right there!

and the park. oh man that place is HUGE! we played around on some rocks, and went on some swings and stuff. i got a pic of the map, we were in a very small place, compared to the rest. maybe like 1%. and even that area was big. have you seen limitless? we walked by those rocks that that girl hides by. it was cool. i wondered how many movies are filmed in that park. i'll look it up in a bit.

i'll send some pics soon.

oh , and on the way back, there was two guys in the car we were in singing and stuff, one guy had an electric guitar with a belt amp i guess. it was cool. so after the first song. the guy started playing Book of Mormon Stories! ya! it was so cool! they were standing like two feet away from us. so they saw who we were. it was funny.. the other guy didn't sing it. just the tune.. when he first started i'm like... i've heard this.. then he kept going and i started laughing. 3 out of the 4 of us were laughing. sister pagan didn't get it. and the guy was like " didn't you go to primary?!" ahaha. then ellsworth asked if he was mormon and he said "thankfully not anymore" aw bummer. it was still cool though.

super fun pday. then to end it i had that crazy liquid poop. haha... oh it was bad.

i guess that's it. i'll let you know who my new comp is eventually. i think it's gonna be elder Izatt's trainer.. he's the only creole elder left.

love ya guys.
