2 months already

Hi everyone!!
It's been 2 months as of today! I can't believe that time has gone by so fast! Today is also the start of a new transfer. 1 down 16 to go. It's going to be a very interesting transfer. Because of my companion's visa he will be leaving a week before transfers. Another elder in the other ward is leaving in 3 weeks. So our district is going to be cut down to nothing soon. :( Oh well, we will survive. So I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving. I know I did. I ended up getting two wonderful meals from loving members. Not only that but there was non-members at each dinner. So, some more exciting news. I get to drive! Woot. I'm now cleared to drive the mission vehichle. Which has been a dream of mine for the last 6 weeks. The week has been a good one. We ended up street contacting a lot of people, because most of our investigators left for thanksgiving. We also have a baptism this week. On Saturday a recent convert will be baptising his 10 year old son. Super exciting!!!!!! More exciting news is that today I get to go on an 8 mile hike. The funny thing is that we are going to be climbing a hill, yet all the members here call it a mountain. I'm almost tempted to show them a picture of what mountains really look like. They are convinced though that it is a mountain. What can you do though? It is supposed to be a beautiful hike and I'm rather excited for it. On another note I'm currently learning Espanol. The population is mainly spanish here so I called and got permission from the mission president to study it after our morning studies. I can speak it, but can't understand it. My companion can understand it but can't speak a lick of it. So we make A good team. Well I'm off to go climb a "mountain". Hope all is going well.

Love,
Elder Tingey
