Hello Ma,

I'm glad the trip went well. Dad told me you guys got to see whales. That's pretty cool! I actually kinda miss the cold, as weird as it sounds.

We got transfer info. I'm taking over my area, another area that got closed, and I'm gonna be in a threesome. One is a stickler who got sent home for five months because he stressed himself out so much. The other (from what I hear) has been described as 'childish' and 'obnoxious.' This is gonna be fun, ha ha.

Anyway, about that golden investigator. His wife really dragged him down, that saucey wench. Ha ha! She had him meet with their pastor and we haven't been able to get an appointment with them since. It's really a shame.

We have been teaching this part-member family. (The wife is a member and the husband isn't). For a long time the husband wouldn't let them go to church and would shut the door in the missionaries faces. We're going to have our third lesson with him tonight, he's asked us to have the missionaries start teaching his sister, and he's been to church three times. It's awesome!

Well I gotta go but I'll write you more in the actual letter. Thanks for everything. Oh and by the way, I've been very careful with the money you've given me, I only use it when I absolutely have to.

Thanks again. Much love, Elder Waters
