That's super fun that Ivy is learning how to read. And yeah I end up getting into a shout match every time its time for Elder Coombs to do the dishes because he is literally the biggest baby about cleaning up after himself. So yesterday we did a deep clean and I made him clean the nasty bathroom and he was super ticked about that. I just told him to shut it or he would be calling president telling him to get him a new companion asap... he did his cleaning.

So I keep hearing about how I need to be careful about my head and how I shouldn't be wrestling and stuff. Let me explain how it happened again because no one understands. I was playing basketball and I smashed heads with another missionary. Nothing happened. And I'm fine. I'm kind of irritated because it's not like I'm trying to get hurt. It was an accident. I didn't get knocked out. I blacked out for a split second. It's just like getting a goose egg. We all hit our heads sometimes.

This week we had some good stuff happen. We got a new investigator (Jason) from china. He's a great guy and he wants to learn all about Christianity.

We have volunteered as tour guides at the zoo by our apartment, so that should be fun!

We volunteered at the humane society.

We volunteered at this kids center in downtown to help keep kids off of the streets. It should be fun.

I taught a members less active anti son and his non member girlfriend so that was a good step.

We are all getting fed up with this area. It blows. It's always cloudy and rainy and cold lately and were all getting depressed. We had our temple all constructed but someone destroyed it, so we're pretty ticked there. We're starting to do chalk drawings of book of Mormon stories in the forest so that will be fun.

Basically I'm just filling up my time with service, because we don't really have anything else going on. Another sister is going home so that's really great.

Well hope you all have a good week. Love you all!

Elder Porter
