so things are going good here in plainview newyork. so transfers and everything went well and all and i think im going to like my new area and stuff. my companions are elder anderson and elder mun.

elder anderson is from florida and speaks french and is fluent in latin too. yesterday he wrote out 9 conjugation forms of the verb "to love" and took up a whole sheet explaining it. hes really smart and also has a mind like a steel trap. he quoted all 3 movies from "the matrix" for us yesterday too during dinner. he says he can do the lord of the rings as well as a lot of disney films too. hes super funney and i love him already. he was supposed to go to france but his visa is delayed for some reason or another so he is temporarily reassigned to here until he gets his visa.

elder mun is from korea and he told us he spoke "a little" korean when in fact he speaks it fluently. he only has 2 transfers left in his mission but he is still a REALLY hard worker and has yet to give up. its really nice to see that he still has the fire and that he has a really great character too. hes super fit too and loves to do sports. in fact our zone leaders love sports too.

so... we have been playing basketball EVERY morning at 6:00. in case you are familiar with my basketball skill ill tell you dont worry cause it dosnt exist. BUT i am getting better every morning and i feel sorry for the elder that gets stuck on my team cause i have lost every game so far in the trasfer haha.

we have investigators but all of them except jean michelle and a lady by the name of manet. jean michelle is having some complications in understanding us so we are going to switch from speaking english to creole. he says he understands but he really doesnt. he really isnt keeping comitments so we are trying to work with him on that. manet is having a hard time working over 40 hours a week as well as some family/marital issues. pretty much besides that EVERYONE juked our appointments. so we just visited a bunch of people that werent home.

thats pretty much it for this week. i didnt have a lot of time so sorry for the short emails. the first picture is us in the library :) the second is keagan who im going to baptize this next week :D and the last is a billboard that we thought was funny, advertising that divorces were on sale.

thanks everyone and good luck this next week with school and work!! love you all!!!
