Need...more...water...

Dear Family!
     I am having a blast! The heat is back up to the mid 90's and I feel like I am back home! :) I just finished hand washing our car while my companions and the Assistants went hiking; it brought back so many memories! It so nice to have my good friend, the Sun, back in my life. I sure missed being tan and I am already getting my "missionary tan!" For those who don't know what that is, very white lower body, chest, and half your neck (due to the collar lol), and my forearms face and upper half my neck way tan. Its quite funny to look at myself in the mirror in the mornings! :)
     Well, we had a baptism on Saturday, and it went off pretty well. Beau was late, but other than that, the Spirit was strong. We had an awesome day yesterday also as we tracted in the blazing heat; two new investigators, a potential, we contacted a referral, and are about to put two-five more people on date for baptism! The work is just BOOMING and I love feeling like a missionary. I will be sending pictures here in the next couple days. I will also try to upload my shirt/pants burning for my 18th Month Mark that I just hit! It went off a lot better than my tie did! xD
     Wow! It makes me so proud of Chase and Jenna for their accomplishments! You will have to tell Chase my congrats and I'm here supporting him. It would be so awesome if he makes it to the Olympics next year; I wouldn't miss a single broadcast! As for Michael Greggory, that sounds so cool! I cant wait to see the photos that you took, and to hear about the good time you all had! Tell him hello also, and let him know of my plans to stay in town for a semester so we should do another show together. Hopefully I can make a cast when I get home! ;)
     Well, as you can tell, things are going great! This is the week that Elder Holland is coming, so its filled with anticipation! Hopefully the Stake doesn't get rebuked to bad...the home teaching is at around 5-10% :( Its not going to be pretty, that's for sure. Like someone said "Home teaching is missionary work to the members; missionary work is home teaching to the non-members!". It was nice to hear from you, and still feel of your support! I love you lots and will talk to you later!
