HI!!
I am glad everyone is doing okay and Jenni and Greg are doing well! I am impressed you went 35 miles!! (On our bike ride) So transfers are tomorrow so that is why p day is Tuesday. My comp and I are staying but Elder ___from our district is leaving and Elder ____who has been out one more transfer than me is going to train. So we will get a new missionary tomorrow so I wont have to be the new guy in the district anymore haha.
This week was ok. We were supposed to have a baptism on Thursday but some things came up and we are going to have to move it but it's ok, Alex is an awesome guy and will be baptized. We had some serious transportation problems this week haha. We caught caught in downtown Akron on our bikes and it was pouring like no other. It is like a 30 minute ride home so we were drenched. After everything was soaked you kinda just forgot about it and had some fun haha. I just took my tie off so it wouldnt get ruined since it was silk and we rode home. Of course right when we got home though the down pour stopped haha. Also we were driving and I was typing something in the GPS and Elder Johnson got pulled over and got a ticket and I have to pay half which is like 87 bucks so that is dumb but rules are rules. He also popped his 3rd bike tire this transfer haha I dont know why but they keep popping and he keeps having to get new tubes and tires. Other than those things it has been a pretty normal week. No really new investigators but we have a couple of people we have talked to that have a lot of potential.
So there is an Elder Johnson that just got home from the Denver south mission and he is in my ward here. We had dinner at their house last night and it was so weird to talk to him about home and how he knew Elder Rassmussen and Elder Tonga and stuff. He was mostly in the mountains but he spent some time in the Columbine stake. I think I remember you saying you took our Elders to transfers so you probably saw Elder Johnson there.
So in Tallmadge they have the Tallmadge circle which is a ridiculously huge round about that is a pain in the butt for traffic but on Sunday for 9/11 they line the whole circle with candles. One for each person that died. The white ones are for civilians, red firemen, blue police and green service men. It was way cool although I dont think you can see much in the pictures. Sorry. The other one is just a cool sunrise when we were out playing football. I know I look dead haha its 6:30 am. The weather has been making me so mad this week. Like every day it is 69 degrees and we have to wear jackets if its under 70 so I have been soooo hot running around in a jacket. And then the one on my bike I am soaked. You cant really tell but I am drenched haha.

I hope everyone is doing well and you all have a good week!

This is the round about area he talks about.
These are taken when driving by while in Canton for exchanges. I hope he gets to go there one day!
Beautiful Sunrise! Randy and I were wondering if Brad had ever seen the sun rise before his mission! He likes to sleep in!
Soaking wet rain!
Hi dad!
Sounds like stake conference was way good. I cant believe President Walker knows where all of us are. Sounds like you had a good bike ride too! Do it in a suit and I may be impressed hahaha. just kidding. PLEASE keep the sports updates coming!! I need those! haha Stupid Federer though. He blew it. We were in Dicks last week buying Elder Johnson socks and sportscenter was on and Nadal was like in a press conference but he was like screaming in the chair and almost fell off. I think they said he was cramping or something. haha I thought that was kind of weird. But please keep giving me updates, haha I like to know. Its hard not watching sports! We have a guy in our ward that he gets a pizza and watches monday night football every week and hasn't missed a monday game since they started them and he invited us over yesterday and I knew the Broncos were playing haha its hard to say no to that!! hahaha but its ok I will survive.
Love
