There it is. Please write me letters bye. I was asked just now by a Jewish man that is sitting next to me whether I was "socially forced "to go on a mission. He got that from that PBS documentary. I said no, I came out on a mission becuase I know in my heart that this is true. and then he said something like,'well I just can't believe that Book of Mormon, becuase their is no archeolagic evdidence for it.' Well if he only knew the stuff that has been found that supports it but, like I said last week I think, The spirit converts, not stuff that has been dug out the ground. He didn't give me much time to talk but oh well . I pray that this guy next to me will find the gospel some day. Well this last week has been full of stuff. First we got moved into our new apartment on Wednesday. The previous Elders That lived there wern't very hygenic and we had to take a little while to clean up our room. We live with two other Elders again. Elder Faucett and Elder Owens (he came out to the mission the same time as me). We found a famliy that night and they are cool. Thursday, I can't remeber much. Friday we had a meeting with one of members of the spanish branch Presidency.We had the meeting over at the LSU institute. That was my first time to LSU. I've always wanted to go see the place that all of Louisiana raves about on their cars and T-shirts and everything else you can think of. It was.....it really wasn't all that great. It was just a college....I dunno maybe I didn't see something or...something. It didn't really do anything for me. That night we had an exchange with the Elders that replaced us in the Spanish South area. I walked into my old aprtment and It felt like I lived their still.Saturday, can't remember much but we comitted this man to come to church and he said he wuld. Sunday, He came and paricipated a lot in Elders quorum class, that was cool. we found out that day that Josefina (in my previous area) was comitted to baptism for this Saturday! I'm so glad to be a missionary. I seriously don't want to come home. I love it. I can't believe that a year has gone by already. It feels like yesterday I was hugging Bonnie at the MTC while people were looking at us weird. Oh yeah I've been meaing to tell Ammon and Tamzon. I have seen both of your cosmic twins out here. There is one Elder out here named Elder Galbraith. He remindes me so much of Ammon it's scary. He looks a little like him too and gots glasses and everythang. It's cazy but not as crazy as Tamzon's. I was at this fresh food market getting 'taco supplies' when at the cashier, as I was walking past, I saw Tamzon. I had to do a triple take not double on her. I seriously thought it was Tamzon Baysinger. I was like 'what in the world is she doing here?' I had to give a really hard stare at this girl until I realized it wasn't her. but woah it was too close of a resemblance. This girl could have been a member of the Baysinger family and I wouldn't have suspected a thing. anyway, oh yes can some one get me a spanish set of scriptures. The church doesn't have copyrights for spanish Bibles so you'll have to get that at a book store. THANK-YOU. I'm currently borrowing Elder Orellana's spare set, but I won't be his companion forever. thank you again. I'll be sending a package today. It has some cool stuff in it for mom and dad and everyone else. Well I better be rapping up this little email so I can go do something today.(oh, the Jewish dude just got up and left). Bye everyone in AZ, RUSSIA, and AL!Love-Elder 'Miester' Colvinpeace out y hasta luego!!!
