TACOMA!!!!!!!!!

so i guess it has finally happened....i have gone to serve in the heartland of the mission....Tacoma Washington.....it is way different that lakewood...it is like 20 times bigger that lakewood, and there are so many ghetto houses crammed onto every street...i am guessing that i will probably be serving in the tacoma area for at least 4-6 months...so probably till about 20 months total :D which will probably fly by. not much really too exciting is happening though right now, except last week end we baptized 2 women who were supposed to get baptized with 3 other people a few weeks ago so that was exciting

Week 6 of the 10th transfer

So i really have no idea what i wanna say in this blog, but i geuss i should say something since i didn't type one last week.....not much is going on here and things in lakewood have really started to slow down, which kinda is bad cause we don't have many baptisms coming up in the next couple of weeks...transfers are this monday (19)
and I have no idea if i am staying or leaving...i have been here for a very long time and i am starting to get burnt out of the area, i am very curious about what the next 9.5 months will be like....i know it is going to go by really fast, and i hope that i can continue to see success in the area i go to....right now i have been in washington 59 weeks and i have 33 baptisms which means i have an average of a baptism every other week which is really good and above average for most missionaries here....i would really like for me to hit weekly though, and come home with 104, but that won't probably happen haha, but we'll see. i guess that one thing worth noting and will probably be mentioned in my homecoming is that we have a homeless guy living with us at the moment haha (we got permission from the landlord)
so now we have a homeless guy, a less active drunk member and the landlord with his wife at our place, plus us 4 missionaries makes 8 people haha.

i really hope to hear from all of you soon, cause i miss all of you so much!!!
