Week 6: Settling in

Looking out window

Dear mom and family. Sounds like you guys have had a pretty full week. It sounds like you guys want a lot of details about everything so I'll try to send some pictures of the city and the apartment and such. Currently I'm in Nashville on a exchange with the a PS. Those are the assistant to the presidents. Great guys both from Utah. The weather has been getting great but it's going down hill. I love talking to people and I'm way good at budgeting. Exchanges are way cool cause you get another perspective of missionary work. I love what I'm doing here no matter how many doors I get slammed in my face. There are some good religious people here tho and that's nice. Lots of people respect what we are doing they just don't want any part of it. It's crazy the the people who live in city are the most humble and the most willing to listen. I wish I had brought more clothes and shoes cause I'm always freezing. But it's really cool. Yes dad I have my bike and I put it all together a couple days ago and I get to ride it next week. We are a part time car zone so next week we won't have the car. The car we drive is a 2017 Chevy Malibu. It's really nice. Let me know specifically what you guys wanna know and I'll answer your questions. I'm sorry I'm not good at emailing but I love you guys. Email me back today if you can. Well sis its hard and sometimes really sad. but I know this is where I'm supposed to be and I'm working my butt off. What is it like being in Tennessee?, its honestly pretty much the same as back home just way less Mormon people. the humidity is weird. so its way cold. but most people here are at least kind hearted. how is it different? everything looks way old. and there are some huge houses here. I also found out that David Archuletta lives here and is in one of the wards in the Nashville area. so I'm hoping I will get to serve there and meet him. maybe get a picture or something. How is the food? the food is amazing. I mean these people know how to cook. the fried chicken is insanely good. but the members keep feeding us tacos over and over again. its like someone told them that was our favorite. we are teaching a few people. one of them is a cool guy named T who played minor league baseball in Arizona. hopefully we can get a baptismal date for him. the other promising person is a 10 year old kid who lives in a less active family. and we have a baptismal date for him on the 30th so that exciting. and we are going to the temple in two days with a guy who just got baptized named R so that he can start on his family ordinances in the temple which is super cool. he is a skinny old man who is way nice. yes I like my companions. Elder Taylor from Logan is a tank and he works way hard and is a good example. Elder Bolinger is a legend and he works hard to. I think I probably got the best trainers in the mission. Anyways love you all, until next week.
