Elder Max Kimball: Atlanta Georgia Mission: Holes in his shoes already....

(March 18, 2013)

Hey mom sorry I didn't get to email last week. We just stopped in to send our weekly letter to the president and then we had to go because we were going on a hike. Its called stone mountain and that was pretty cool. Im putting in some pictures of it. I still had some stamps and stuff but I just wanted to stock up. Im pretty sure that it is alright if i go on the blog.

Yep Ed is the next one up for baptism. We had to push it back a week to the 30th because he was sick this Sunday and they have to come to church 3 times before they can get baptized. Thats awesome for Chris (Weaver..spending time in the Solon area). Isn't he coming home pretty soon? Mason is doing good. We usually email each other every week.

Jack sounds like he is doing good. How come Sam won't wear the costume? Tell Abby that I said keep doing good in her classes. Im sure Sydney will keep doing good by herself. How come Lauren is moving into our condo? We pulled all the time in swimming. It was my favorite thing to do during practice. I could beat every kid on the team when we did it.

I got the stamps but not any of the other packages. Has Chris (Boone) or anybody else gotten a mission call yet? Georgia is good. It has been like 75 degrees but hasn't really been that humid. But kids said last summer it got up to like 115 so im kind of scared and hopefully i have a car by then.

It's easier for me to just write a letter about it (his week). But that picture is Atlanta and the rock is confederate soldiers. You should google it its pretty interesting.

Thats cool that is Chris's (Weaver's) last area. Its a good place to finish off. That's cool that Lauren got a car and is working and stuff now. Those spikey things are called paddles (talking about my swimming class). They will help you if you use them. I have some but they are really big and girls are supposed to use smaller ones. I don't have a pull buoy but if there are still some blue ones left at the pool use one of those cause they are alot more comfortable.

I haven't heard of that girl (Sister Hixon) but since we werent' at transfer meeting there isn't really a way to meet the new missionaries. My shoes are alright. The ones I wore to church have holes on the bottom already but they still work so I don't want new ones yet. We usually stay in an area like 3-4 transfers which are each 5 weeks.Everybody here is really nice. Even people that really like the church they have are still nice to us. We were tracting and met an old lady and she made us come in and drink coke and eat fig newtons. Not everybody is that nice but nobody is mean so that's good.

The only cool thing I can think of is we were walking down the street and some girl stopped us and asked us what house we were trying to go to. We were just tracting so we didn't really have an answer. She said the missionaries used to come visit her mom all the time but then they stopped. So we were able to get in touch with her just from talking to that girl. I asked him what interesting thing had happened this week.

I think I got the easter package on like Friday. Masons parents sent me one too and I got it the same day. Have you been sending anything to Mason? The Nielsens sent me a package too, and Im going to write them a letter. Those are cool places for Hunter and Chris (received their calls to Indianapolis and Argentina). Hunter just got added to the big list of people that went to the eastern united states.

I don't think dad is as excited for trek and you are. I wish ours would have been longer. It was too easy and our group always got told to slow down. What month is it in? I don't really remember what kind of food we had. I thought the stake was in charge of that.

We didn't get to do our baptism yesterday cause things didn't work out. We moved it to april 13 because of easter and conference. So it won't be for a while.
