this last week wasnt too eventful! we have a baptisimal date for this weekend and he has a huge problem with smoking so i made him sign a contract and itll be sweet if he keeps with it. ill try to attach a picture of it. its amazing how attached to people we get here. its like we’re really a part of their lives, i am helping them recieve the restored gospel of jesus christ and helping them come unto repentenance, endure to the end and much more. im not sure what else i can say more about that!

today for p-day we went to a stake center and balled, it was awesome i tore it up! we played inside and it was a ncie court. i thought i was getting really bad at basketball but i was making it rain from beyond the three point arch, kinda like MJ!

You’re lucky you get to spend the holidays with family! we have changes every six weeks and its already been six weeks since our last change but i found out ill be in this area another change so that will be 18 weeks in the same area! also, that means ill prolly have christmas dinner and thanksgiving dinner because im close with a lot of the members, the people here usually love the tall, white boys.

sadly, that’s about it for me this week, ill make this next week a better one for a better email! i hope everyone is doing well, i love you all have a safe and fun week.

love always,
Elder Herman
