Ok so where do i begin...sooo much has gone on...well first off my trainer/new companion is bomb.com....his name is Elder Davis and hes from La, California...hes a surfer and we are exactly alike. We qoute movies all day...its hilarious. we work together so well. were in an area called rolling hills...were on bikes and they werent kidding when they named the area "ROLLING HILLS". its ridiculous. ive always wanted big strong muscular calves and legs and now i have them...my legs will be tree trunks in know time haha but we got white washed into the area which means they took all the previous elders out b4 us and threw us in there. so we both dont know the area or any of the members. There was definitly a reason why they took the elders out b4 us and that b/c nothing with getting done by them. Its a huge area. b4 we came here it was a bike companionship and a car companionship and now its just me and my companion on bikes... its rough. The ward/members didnt really seem to have much faith/trust in the missionaries b4 us as we have been able to tell from there actions toward us haha. they basically ripped us a new one at church and how they expect us to be working hard non stop and when they see us riding our bikes we better be sweating and exhausted from pedaling our hearts out and also to not come hang out at the members homes haha So from that we reazlized the elders b4 us were total slackers and didnt work hard. But the elders b4 us didnt give us any investigators to work with so we have been talking to everyone we see on the sidewalks and knockin on doors like crazy...ive been yelled at by people driving by in cars non stop...they say "mormons suck.....burn in hell....or this one guy pulled up to us and saud that were wasting our time and that there is no god haha i just laughed and said...Sir God loves you just as much as he loves me and he just drove off haha...My companion and I just laugh at that stuff. Our area is just 10 min outside of louisville. Its sooo green and pretty. I love the huge trees and the weather. The grass reminds me of Maui's grass. The humidity isnt bad at all. Maui was much worse on humidity...So its really nice and has a light breeze all the time.
So heres some goals me and my companion have for our 6 week transfer
* 1 Baptism
* 1 investigator to church every sunday
* 4 new investigators each week
* 24 new investigators in 6 weeks
Theres some more but were still figuring them out Some of my goals are
* Finish BoM in 6 week transfer
* Finish new Testament B4 Christmas
* ETTE (Endure To The End)
* Become an amazing Beat Boxer
* stay above 200lbs. (hopefully mainly muscle) Theres probably some more im forgetting haha but thats just an idea what were focusing on out here...
I love the mission field sooo much...its a new adventure everyday trying to find people to teach. This black rapper guy named Cory or C-GEE-Z haha let us in to talk to him and then he showed us some of his raps and beats and they were awesome. Hes workin a bit with lil wayne and some other big guys. So look for him on the radio soon haha but no body out here really has a thick accent. everynow and then a lady might have a lil southern accent but not much. but my P-day is every monday we just couldnt email yeasterday b/c of labor day....oh so funny story haha sooo everything is really open and a bunch of pastures everywhere and normally we have been taking the roads to get everywhere but we were running late to meet someone so we tried to find a short cut through a big grassy field and we get trekkin through this thick grass on our bikes and my companion is like 15 feet in front of me and we start crusing down hill and pickin up speed and on the map we had it said there was a little river called goose creek that we would have to find a way to get over somehow but at the bottom of this hill is a wall of bushes and i was smart and kept touchin the breaks and my companion just got bookin down this hill and wasnt paying attention to the wall of bushes down in front of us and im just watchin him and waiting for him to just ram into these bushes and he ends up lockin up his front breaks last second and nose wheelis into these bushes head first and he front flips over the handle bars into the bushes and if he would of gone any farther he would of landed in goose creek haha it was so funny. i fell off my bike laughing sooo hard. but like 100ft down along the creek was a legit bridge to cross so we got over fine and on to our meeting on time.. So now we use that short cut everyday almost but my companion takes it slow now haha he learned his lesson. Oh last thing. my New apartment address is 1110 Winners Circle Louisville, Kentucky40242

ill keep you all updated on when i get transferred which wont be for a few months. but i love you all and thank you so much for all your love and support...PEACE
