Hello Fatha.

It's crazy I've been out for a month now, it's really flown by fast, but it also seems like I've been on a mission forever.

It's pretty sweet that the Spare Time place opened, I'll have to check it out when I get home. There's a group of people that go paintballing a lot and the missionaries get to go with them on P-days so I'm pretty excited about that.

That's too bad that the Jazz aren't doing well, hopefully they'll get it together. You'll have to keep me updated on the draft, let me know where the Utah guys go and who the Niner's draft, if it's not too much trouble. I was talking to an Elder whose in Mobile Alabama an he was saying that one of Utah's quarterbacks, C.J. Morales just got back from his mission and he went to Northridge. I've seen him play and he's really good, he was being recruited by a lot of pac-10 schools and he got a 4.0 all through HS so he should be really promising in the next couple seasons.

The weather has been pretty nice for the most part, but storms can come in really fast. There's been a huge storm all morning and the thunder has been really hardcore, you can feel it shaking the desks, pretty crazy.

The city of Pensacola is pretty nice for the most part, but our area can get pretty out-there. You can't really call where we live a neighborhood, but we're the only white guys there (that I've seen anyway). I've met some serious backwoods people and I've heard some crazy ideas about religion and politics. I met a guy that said Lincoln freed the slaves to punish the south and that everyone who voted for Obama is going to hell. We're also teaching a guy that lives in a trailer park and he was telling us how he had a conversation with the devil and how there was a portal to heaven and hell and that he'd show them to us, crazy stuff like that. They're good people though for the most part.

Well thanks for everything, especially the memory card, that was awesome. Talk to ya in a month.
