August 31st

this morning i figured out who my new companion is. His name is Elder Blankenship, he's from texas and is currently serving on usu campus. i think he's been out like 3-4 months. im excited for a new change..... training isn't a joke. i finally get a missionary that knows what he's doing and I shouldn't have to yell at him to get up on time and to do the stuff he's supposed to, atleast i hope so. So im staying in Brigham. Elder Leon and I started to get along now that he's getting transfered, funny thing is he's staying in the district. He's going to be serving with Elder Gunlock a really sweet elder. So ill be seeing him every wednesday for district meeting. i cant remember if we told you this last week but we had three baptisms. i really need to buy a card reader so that i can upload the pictures. we baptised Derick Lee and the two Skirlac girls Madison and Alison. All really good baptisms, I had the oppurtunity to baptize Alison. thoses two girls were deffently two of the hardest people to teach. they have the attention span of a gold fish. all of our lessons couldn't be any longer than 10 minutes. but we taught them everything. last sunday we got to speak in the Corrine 1st ward, a little tiny city west of brigham. that morning i woke up and completely forgot that we were speaking that morning so i had to fly by the seat of my pants. talked about the three things we need to do have a stronger testimony, prayer, going to church, and reading our scriptures. ended up being a good talk even though i was unprepared. afterwards we had alot of people walk up to us telling us about there nonmember friends and wanted to know what they could do to invite them. now all this week im going to be following up with thoses people. I went to the surgeon friday, got into an arguement because i reinjured it. he called the mission doctor and he's supposed to talk to president. so i have no idea whats going to happen
