The new ride

Crab legs! 

The rest of the crab legs



The rest of the meal!!!  It seems like he is eating better than when he is home!



The baptism on Sunday--His Dad and I were amazed at how tall he looks!

Well this is my new ride (see picture).  It is a really cool car!  It is a nice brown color.  There is a pic that you can look at and some more pics that are really cool.  I had a good dinner this week with the Billings because I thought I was leaving to go to a new area, but I'm staying in 29 for a little bit longer.  It is really cool, I like it out here.  This week was a lot of service.  We got to go out to the middle of nowhere and help someone move some furniture.  Things have been really good, then yesterday I got ready for Church and we started to drive off and the truck was acting really funny.  I got out and we had a flat, so we went to church and then Brother Billing came over and helped us change it.  I helped him change it with my church clothes on, and, dad, I did use my head to put the tire on (inside joke between his dad and him--he always steadies the tire with his forehead while he is putting a tire on--his dad always teases him).  The first pic is my new ride, the next one is some good food that we got on Saturday, the next one is showing on top of that the steaks we got at the same dinner.  This week we also had a Samoan baptism and that was way cool to see my old comp that went home about a month ago do the baptism.  It was so cool.  This week has been really good and a lot of fun.  I have been loving it out on my mission, I can't believe how fast it goes by.  I'm staying with my comp and then in 6 weeks he will be going home, so I will be here about 12 weeks and then I should have one or 2 more areas that I will serve in.  That is just crazy to think, but this week we had a lesson with Hope and she talked to her senior couple missionaries (I guess she was in North Carolina for awhile), and they are in the same mission as Elder Taylor Petersen.  That is cool and they are going to look him up and tell him Hi for me.  I have gotten like 5 referrals from them, so thanks Raleigh North Carolina!  Things are good out here, I hope things are good for everyone back home.  Love you all and have a good week!
