Hey!
Thanks for the package and the pictures! They really touched me a little bit more this time. It has always seemed like the pictures you send are pictures of an imaginary world, but then the pictures with them in the shirts that I gave them made it become more real. It was weird. Freak it will be crazy! So with Vegemite. I really have no idea what you can do with vegemite. I don't know its limits, all I’ve heard is that you can put it on bread or toast, not a lot though, and eat it. But who knows? Just take a big bite of it mom to see what it's like. Our numbers for this week were off the charts. We found 10 new investigators and 7 of them were found Sunday morning before 11:00. Rogelio y Alicia came to church with their kids and they seemed to enjoy it. From the numbers from before, ours this week is basically three-times as much as what they used to be in this area. There are so many cool people here and fun to work with. It will be super sad to leave it and especially if they don't progress farther. The other day we drove around the complete airport to see what was down there. That airport is HUGE! It was super cool to have plane flying super close to you landing and taking off while you were driving around. Unlike Reno’s, with two different direction to go, this one is like a hexagon or sometimes even seems like an octagon shape where they are coming from everywhere. So the other day we stopped at taco bell, mmm true Hispanic food, but anyways I ordered in English, I thought, but my companion said I was mixing Spanish and English together. Luckily the guy was Hispanic; he didn't say anything about it. One thing my companion said I did was say "y" instead of "and" but I swear I said "and". Oh well. Pretty funny. We might ride our bikes to the church tonight for coordination, just for fun because I want to. My companion isn't too excited about it because it is about a 7-9 mile bike ride. I'm stoked! Hopefully it doesn't rain. It is the weirdest feeling to basically know everyone in your area. To walk around and see a guy on the street and remember his name, or see people in the stores and act as if we were friends because we may have taught them before. There are so many times were I’ll see somebody I recognize and not remember who it is or where I remember them from. It bugs me a lot.
