Hey,
Well as you know I have been transferred. I am now serving in Morristown and I love it so much. The ward is amazing and we have 6-8 baptisms set for September. I am excited and now it's just working hard to make sure they happen. My Address is 401 Lindsley Apt. 2A Morristown, NJ 07960. Bart Oats who played for the New York Giants and won the super bowl with them is in my ward and he was in the mission presidency. He is amazing. My new companion is great. He has been out 5 months and is from Mesa, Arizona. His name is Elder Everts. We live right by Washington Headquarters National Historic Park. I hope to go and see all the history around here sometime. My first day here we went to what would be called the projects. Nothing like Passaic or Trenton. These are pretty nice compared to some I have been to. Had this crazy drunk guy come do this crazy prayer around us and I couldn't understand him at all. That was great. Then since I have been here I had two really fat ugly girls try to flirt with me. My companion just laughed and I wanted to throw up. There is a cool place called Tito's Burritos that we went to this week. It was really good. Also My 2nd day here we went on splits and I got hit by Blaine's car. He is weird. He can't drive or park at all. I got out to help him park and he smashed my knee between his car and the other car. It hurt so bad and is all bruised. I am happy he didn't crush my knee and it's not broken. I will never get near him when he is driving again. Also I need more contacts I am almost out. I have two pairs left and will use one pair starting next week. that's about it. Take care

Hey,
Well transfers are here again and I am being transferred. I will let you know as soon as possible where I am and what my new address is but I wont know all of that till tomorrow. They doubled us our and almost white washed our whole zone. only 5 of 16 are staying and not being transferred. Tomorrow is going to be a huge transfer conference. So a lot is changing here. The weather here has been fun since for the last few days we are getting bad rain storms and seeing flooding. It's kind of nice though because it's not so hot anymore. I am ready for fall to be here again. Yesterday we had a huge blessing. We have been working with a less active who hasn't been to church in 15 years and yesterday he came. It was amazing to see him walk though the doors of the church. After all this work and the area not really growing, that something like this happened was wonderful. The other day we found a Medieval Times in our area out towards Giants Stadium. It's too bad we are missionaries and being transferred or I would go and call it a late birthday. This week I got the impression that I should change schools and go to UVU and not SUU when I get home. It's been driving me crazy because I made a huge list of pros and cons and prayed about what I should do and got the answer I need to go to UVU. So now half the time all I think about is UVU. A part of me agrees with the Lord and wants to go to UVU because I feel that is where I need to be, but I keep fighting the Lord because UVU was a school I told myself I don't want to go to and will not apply because I hate the campus and the school inside isn't that nice. So this has become a lot of fun battling things out in my head and on paper. Other then that things here are good and not a lot is really going on.

I just have to say that I have the best looking missionary out there as these pictures prove! And the most obedient. He called this morning to find out my birthdate for insurance and didn't stay on the phone and talk. I would have talked for at least an hour.

Hey everyone,
Not much going on and so I don't have really anything to say. I am doing good and got lots of meetings this week and I am excited. Transfers happen on the 14 and will probably be transfered and in a new area the 16. I am kind of hoping to go to a new area. Here are some pictures from our Mormon helping hands service project on the 23 of July and my new hobby.
