hey mom

 

so first off yes i got my packages! they are awesome! i got one from my dad and one from you and grandma for my birthday (almost 3 months ago!).  i had to get some money out for the packages for customs because some one was really honest and put how much things cost and left price tags on stuff...... haha. anyways, i have been buying some stuff to take home because there might be a chance that i leave tanzania next month.  thats awesome that allie is going to argentina. i have a friend named dan who is there right now. he is the one who who sent the email too with the email address. so do they leave the same time or what? that would be really weird to go to the same mission as your sister for sure haah.

 

 our investigators are doing ok. with transfers ya i was ok with it because i knew i was going to stay anyways. ya with the status of how many people are members, its true, less than 1000 members are here but like less than half are active or maybe like 60%, which really sucks. if more people were active and were being good members the work would progress a ton faster. ya ive kinda seen how the hurricane has been effecting the east coast. im glad that dixie is doing better hopefully when i get there we will be awesome. thanks for send that stuff to dan and kellie. i hope she gets it soon... anyways i will remember those dates and make sure you tell Macy and Laytin happy birthday for me. well im excited to hear about the election.  

well this week was nice for me. we had zone conference this week and it was pretty awesome. we had elder hartman come again and teach us about the colors again. it was nice and i really know that i am a Red Yellow. but he says that it should be when you were younger. so i think you should do the test for me and figure out what i was like then. because he says after time you can change your color because of growing up and stuff. anyways it was nice too see all the people from tanzania. my old companion elder madubanya is the new ap with elder pocock so it was nice to see them also. it feels like a long time since i have seen president broadbent. it has been like 4 months almost and when i started i used to see him like once a week so it definitely feels like a different mission here. i wasnt able to meet with elder hartman which kinda sucked but i guess at the same time was a good thing. on friday i opened my packages and they were awesome!! my dad sent me a football (nike one by the way) and some olympus shirts and candy which was pretty awesome.  by the way the new memory foam flip flops are FREAKIN awesome!! i love them so much. thank you. its nice to have some thing new on my feet instead of the ones that are four years old haha. but on saturday we cleaned the church because no one came to do it so that was kinda fun. also zone conference was nice because president broadbent did some blasting. it was nice because a few people in this zone are being super bogus.

anyways that was pretty much my week. we will be doing a lot of finding this coming week because we only have kidogo a small amount of investigators. well i love ya and i hope you have a good week

love reese
