everything is good for the most part. we have a baptism coming up on the 18th with a guy named curtis. his wife and all his in laws are members and their example finally paid off so all we have to do is teach him all the lessons in 3 weeks. district leadering is interesting because i dont think im a leader type but its been fun! i found out recently.... well let me start at the beggining. so whenever i used to talk to muslim people i never knew where to start because of the whole if the convert they die or jesus was only a prophet thing. but i did some research and The Muslim people here in Lafayette are amazed that we claim that another prophet is on the earth. the 3 Great Prophets are Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed but when we say there is another they get all wide eyed and excited and get pretty interested. i've found they are really big on missionary work and this whole BS that the news is portraying them as violent crazy extremists apply to about less than 5% of them. its pretty sweet. i love them a lot!! thank you dad for doing all that firefighting paramedic research/networking for me!! im pretty excited!!! so elder farmer and i are doing well. i played handyman on our house the other week and he thought it was funny, but i love doing random little odd jobby things!! its fun because you dont really have to think, its just good old manual labor!!

Love you all and i hope you have a super week!!!!
Love
