I'm in Ohio, its the very edge of the mission, but in Ohio :P Things have been going really well this week. Yeah it was really nice to say goodbye to everyone, wasn't really able to get many pictures of any of the members I always would forget my camera.... But I think Beaver was definitely the best ward I've served in, Bishops Weeks is the man, and we'll definitely come back and visit there, he gave me some fresh brownies and like 20 slim jims lol, it was awesome.

The area I'm in is called Wintersville, the ward is about 80 active. Its a pretty country area for the most part, but its kinda like Johnstown and Elizabethville mixed, and there are plenty of stores and places to go, so that's nice. My companion is Elder Weston, he is dieting this transfer (going home), he's way cool. I've been able to meet a lot of the members, someone here grew up with Dad in Elk Grove, Foresythes? 

I bore a quick testimony just to introduce myself, and she was excited to know about grandpa and dad. We got fed by the Larsens yesterday, not related to the ones we know, there're a hilarious family, they've got a way big house and Bro. and Sis. Laresen are way cool. We've got a really nice apartment, and we've been working out a lot. I've already lost like 2 pounds in a week, HECK YEAH DUDE! I'm tired of looking at my pale fatness, so we've been making fun of each other to exercise, its fun.

It has been snowing this week, nothing serious yet but its has gotten down to 18 degrees. I already bought all you guys something for Christmas, but you can't open it until Christmas too! I'm sure all of you will like what I got, especially mom :P Well that's about all that has been going on lately, 

Love yunz
