Dear Family, Everything is going good here i havent checked my weight again i dont think its gone up that much though. The work is going good the language is going slower than i hoped but ill get there hopefully im starting to understand better but i cant speak that much but itll come. This week was good we have one on date for the 14 its pretty funny hes had to make some big changes to be baptized he was a smoker but now hes done with that but he was a fafafinga which in samoan is a crossdresser it is pretty funny but we read the proclamation to the family with him and told him he was a man and needed to act like and he said okay and hes changing he wore a tie to church which was good but hes got a strong testimony he loves the church and he knows its true hes solid and he knows he needs to change which is good before we taught the word of wisdom he already quit. And the other lady were teaching they want to get married they just have to talk to the bishop now they know there living is sin and shes got a strong testimony of joseph smith which is awesome we just need to get them married now. It was pretty funny this week we helped some members move to wasilla and on our way back to drop off the uhaul they got it stuck in the snow it was pretty funny there was all of these big samoans and then a little white kid trying to push it out they thought it was pretty funny they were laughing pretty hard. well everything is going good its good you got my package.
