(If Bryce and I are on email at the same time we'll chat back and forth instead of him writing an email. This isn't as nice to read as a real letter or email but it will give you an update nonetheless. This picture was taken at Grandma and Grandpa Thompson's the day he left for the MTC.)
We didn't get to go to the aquarium because it is out of our zone but we are going to the Denver art museum with our district and zone leaders.Tell dad that we have dinner appointments every day. Some of it I may not have eaten at home but it has all been good. We ride our bikes a lot so hopefully that will help me from getting a shed.
Right now we have 4 investigators. We got two of them on Monday, but we have been teaching this guy named Leon. He is really cool and is progressing fast. We tracked for 30 hours last week but we don't teach a lot and we already have 16 tracking hours right now.
It rained the weekend of my second week but other than that it has been dang hot. We have to wear our suit coats if it isn't over 75 degrees or when we are going to a dinner appointments. Elder Palmer doesn't have any short sleeves shirts so when he gets some today we'll be able to wear those.
The mission is like a time warp, the days go by so fast but the weeks are kinda slow but then it's fast but then it's not that fast haha. It's crazy and it is really weird on Saturdays because I forget that people don't have to work so it messes with me a bit. I had a dream that I was home and was messing with my hats, it was crazy and it kinda messed me up for a little bit. I also can't believe that I am on a mission but it is really worth it. I have met so many cool people. It is hard at times but it's way worth meeting all of the cool people and I can't ever tell you how much I would regret not being here.
I have to go so I will talk to you next week. Pray for Leon and read your scriptures.
Love you lots and miss you a little.
