How was girls camp? Crazy as it usually is, I suppose? lol. That is good that Matthew got to spend so much time with Kristen before she leaves, I think. That blows my mind that he will be 14 when she gets back!

There aren't too many fires around here. It's too wet all the time. Although it has been so hot lately that a lot of plants have been dying. We stained a deck for like, 6 hours yesterday. It was wayy hot. I got sun-burnt, but not too bad. Did you know vinigar helps with sun burns? Crazy. Found that out last night. We had dinner with some members from a ward I was in in this same district. They came over to a member's house in this ward. It was nice to see them again.

Some member's here brought some people to church this last Sunday. It's his boss' son and his girlfriend. We're going to teach them in the member's home this Friday. I'm pretty stoked!

Leadership meeting is tomorrow. I'll be going 2 hours to Galesberg tonight, staying the night there, then tomorrow moring we'll drive to Iowa City. from Iowa City we go to Des Moines. We've got to be there by 11 AM. we'll be in the meeting all day then drive back to peoria that night. It's going to be a long day! lol.

I love bishop Martin too! He's pretty dang legit. And for sure I'm going to have to go biking with Welge when I get back! He's a beast. 50's and still going hard. What a champ.

Tell Matthew I love him and can't wait to see him either!

Love you and can't wait to see you too!

Hola.

What's up?

Things here are going pretty well. Had my very last zone conference this last week. It was pretty crazy thinking that I'm not going to be having another one again... ever lol. If it's your last zone conference they have you get up and bare your testimony, so I got to do that. It was pretty sweet.

This transfer has gone by pretty fast. This is the last full week of this transfer. I think I'll be with Monsour another one though. I'm happy about that. He's a really cool guy.

Things are going well in Pekin for the most part. We have a girl named Jericha that wants to get baptized. Just not sure when yet. We also Have a 14 year old kid named Brandon that wants to be baptized, but it's lame because his dad won't let him :( Brandon is friends with a kid in the ward, and they're going to work on his dad. So hopefully he changes his mind.

My going home temple trip is going to be tomorrow! I'm way excited for that. I haven're been to the temple in like 14 months. It'll be kinda bittersweet though. Everyone tells me that right after your going home temple trip time just slams the E-brake on haha. I think it will still go by quickly though.

So I don't know if you have already registered me for classes or not. But I was actually thinking it would be a good idea to do some of them online. So lemme know what classes are available for that. If you've already signed me up though, that's fine.

I dunno if you were confused with the father's day text or not. The member we had dinner with yesterday sent it from their phone. lol. That family is pretty awesome. 

Steve said he might have a job for me when I get back. Which is cool. He said business has been really slow, so I probably won't get paid all that much. But it's better than nothing. I'm just excited that I might have something right away.

Hope your week is amazing!

Love you!

Pekin, Illinois

So I got transferred to Pekin Illinois, which is in the district I was in when I was in Washington Illinois. There was a son of a member that we taught in Washington, and now he lives in Pekin. So I'm pretty stoked about that. The ward is pretty small. Like, 5 families are moving soon. It's looking more like a branch than a ward. People here are cool though. I like it here.

  

Things are going well here. We've got some good stuff going on.

 

Sorry the email is short this week.

 

Love you though!

I'll talk to you more about what's going on here next week.I'm just short on time today.
