HI mom thanks for the letter. the mission is going good still. my new companion is super awesome! he might be my best companion so far. he is a little quieter which is actually really nice but he is really good at teaching. he has been in some really hard areas where the people are super unfriendly. so he really likes ashland. ashland is still awesome. the people are really nice. and as the weather gets better the people get nicer. this week we were invited in to teach a lesson while we were tracting. this was i think the second time that has ever happened on my mission. both of the times that has happened have been in ashland. oh and a lady invited us in and gave us cookies. that was cool too. i figure if you have a super positive attitude people seem to see that and respond better to you. we got one new investigator (the lady that let us in while tracting) and she said she wanted to learn more. she is pretty old and is lutheren. she said she didnt want to change religions but wanted to take the lessons. so my first experience tracting with elder gamez was pretty funny. we were going to tract a street and right when we pulled up some jehovah witnesses pulled up at the exact same time directly across the street to do the same thing. we had a good laugh. so we got a guy that was really interested in learning more. we had met with him 2 times before and he wasnt interested but then he called us up and said he really wanted to meet with us. we taught him for 3 hours and he told us some crazy stuff about his life. i wish we could have continued to meet with him but unfortunately we wont be seeing him for a few months. thats basically all that is going on from the mission but i did bring my camera so i will try and send some pictures out in another email.
