>Hello everyone!

>I know it's not Wednesday, but because this is a "move-call" week Pday was changed to Monday. My companion knew that but conveniently told me about it after we did emails last week. Every six weeks is a move call, but because we were delayed at the MTC my first move call was only five weeks. Well, what's new and exciting here, let me think....oh, I have a new companion! His name is Elder Crockett. He's from Vancouver, but spent the last two years at Air Force acadamy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He even played football there, but on the backup squad I think. Oh, by the by, did I mention he's from Vancouver, Washington? Fooled me too for a minute. ... People say it's more relaxed [in Hualien] because there are way more people in the Taipei area. Strange, because there doesn't seem to be a lack of people here. And even though it does rain a lot here, it is a really nice place. As far as extending, that is also a bit too far away to be thinking about. Apparently it is with 6 months left that the president asks for your decision. I have about 20 left. From 6:00, when I got up, until my companion arrived (about 12:30) I cleaned our pig-stye of an apartment and studied a bit. I did a pretty good job of it. ...

>Anyway, we're going to get going now. I don't know him much yet. He seems cool though. Pday will be moved next week to either Tuesday or Thursday because of Zone conference. ... I love you all. Happy birthday Lanzer and Geneva. Bye.
