Hey mom.
Yeah, pretty much everybody we teach doesn't have a car so we always have to worry about getting people rides. Actually, only a small part of our area is in Tucker. We technically live in Doraville so we cover there and Norcross.
For mothers day I can just give you a call before I try to facetime you to make sure you're home. I had a letter written but i didn't have time to really put it in the mail last p day, but now it's really there and should be there soon.

It was a good week, nothing too exciting again. Since it's transfers this week I'll probably have some exciting stuff to say next week. Transfers are this week but me and Elder Post are staying together again. Cody's misson is Washington state right?
We may end up going to the doctor because my ear has been hurting and my companion broke his hand playing basketball and has been too busy to go to the doctor. Since we have a couple of things we could do there, we will probably go this week.

Hello. I can't believe you haven't gotten a letter. I really did send them like a week ago. We still have not baptized Ed because his eyes are really messed up so he has to go to the doctor a ton. We haven't been able to get him to church as many times as we would like to.
No I don't have bed bugs, but I have heard of some people that do have them so I might have to deal with them in other areas of the mission.
When we get new missionaries they usually just split an area in half and rent a new apartment for them. So eventually there could be up to 6 elders in each ward. We don't get to meet with the president, he comes to zone meetings but he missed our last one because he has been in the hospital. We get up at 6:30, exercise for a half an hour, then get ready, start personal study at 8, then companion study at 9, then we usually leave the house by 10:30. Then we just eat lunch and dinner whenever it works out. I'm going to write another email about my week.
All tired out...

wow, sunburn already..
This week we had a pretty crazy week. We were really busy because we are teaching a lot of people. We were able to set two baptismal dates which brought our total up to 3. We are teaching Nancy, who is 75 and just recently got married to her husband and he is a member. She thinks that people are going to sneak into her house and steal stuff during church. So to get her to come to church we drove her to home depot to buy new locks for her house. Then we changed all the locks. She made it to church this Sunday so it was good.
The other lady we are teaching with a date is Sherron. She didn't make it to church this week because she does not have a washer or dryer and she didn't have time to wash clothes for church before Sunday. But she is now buying a washer and we are helping her install it this week and then she will come to church next week. Our last person with a date is Ed and I told you about him in the other email. It's very hard getting to these people because they live far from our apartment and far from any bus stops. We have been having to ask for a lot of rides over there. But is has been good because they have been able to meet a lot of people in the ward. That's pretty much it. Everything is going good here.

Hello, it was a pretty good week. I will probably write another email about it if you liked that. Mason did tell me he was in Georgia. If I get transferred this next transfer down there then we will end up in the same mission because they are forming the Macon Georgia mission down there. That's bad about the letter(it got lost). Our mailbox is pretty scary here. The place where you drop the letters is rarely locked and sometimes we get to the mailbox and our box is wide open so I don't even know if i get some of the stuff other people are sending. There's not really anything I need.
They updated how you attach pictures to emails and it's horrible and I'm trying to think of another way to get them to you. It sounds like syd had a good time (at the prom). It also sounds like way too much dancing type stuff happened this week(priest/laurel dance), and I'm kinda glad i didn't have to go. Send me Abby's email and I'll send her an email. Whats her talk on?
It sounds like everybody in the family is going to be in way better shape then me when I get home. I'm getting fat, it's scary. We are supposed to be getting a fitness room at our apartment building soon so that will be good. We walk a pretty good amount but it doesn't compensate for all the food we eat.
I am probably just going to facetime (for Mother's Day) because the persons house we are going to has ipads. I'm pretty sure that's set up under your email address on the home computer. So look at that I guess.
We are thinking we will call later in the day at like 5 our time . I never got an email from Abby so maybe she sent it to my regular email, but I'll send her one and try to get some letters out.

This week was an alright week. It rained a lot and we had to walk around in it a lot. We have also have been helping a ton of people move recently because there is a college by us and finals just got done. I have been sore for like 3 weeks from moving so many people.
This week we didn't get to teach a lot of lessons because it was hard to find rides from people for some reason. But we did get to teach Nancy again and we went through the baptismal interview questions with her after the lesson. We talked a little bit about the word of wisdom in previous lessons but I guess she did not understand she had to quit smoking all the way to get baptized. When she found this out she walked into the kitchen and grabbed her pack of cigarettes and ripped them to shreds. It was really funny to see this old really small lady just grit her teeth and start tearing them up. But it was cool to see how much she really wanted to be baptized and become a member of the church.
That was pretty much the highlight of the week nothing else too exciting.

Elder Post actually had 2 umbrellas so he gave me one. I did buy a flash drive and I started putting pictures from my camera onto that so maybe I will send that home every once in a while I'll see. I still havent bleached anything, I can't commit, I don't want to ruin stuff!
