hey how are you guys doing? things are starting to get better between me and my companion. lol he's just wierd and stuburn and likes to use the term "im senior companion and i make the decesions." that changed this week. i took the cell phone from him and our contacts book, because all we do is just walk around and really do nothing. so now that i have everything were starting to work with the members better and getting alot of referrals from them. i was talking to one of our zone leaders and he asked how me and elder bevans were doing. i said i really cant stand him, he's just wierd. elder cowan (zone leader) said one of the most profound things ive ever heard of. he said the only way your going to love your companion is "just fake it till you make it" so im trying that. we'll see how it will go. other than my companion im in a really cool district with alot of really fun people. today for fun were going go karting in layton at the boondocks. should be fun. we have alot of baptisims this week one family of 3 and two other people. one of my favorite investigators is wess. he has one of the best and sadest stories ive ever heard. he's from texas and divorced. he's the kicker. he wanted to move away from texas and prayed and asked the lord where he should go he spun the globe and landed on ogden utah. so he moved up here and is now taking the lessons. he's got the biggest texas "twang" ever. he excepted a bappy date and is getting baptised on the 16th. we have alot of other investigators 15 or so but they all live in the ghetto of ogden. all the crack heads, pot heads, alcholics, and heroine abusers. elder bevans has alot of faith in them that they'll quit, me not so much. the only reason they come to church is for the welfare program, but atleast there taking the lessons. love you guys
