Hey Everyone Things are going well here. Our Baptism last week was confirmed. My companion and I are still getting along real well. He´s starting to open up and talk a lot more. We both gave talks in sacrament meeting today (The pleasures of serving in a Branch instead of a ward). His talk was good. Being with a greeny reminds me so much of how things were when I arrived in the mission. I´m such a different person now its crazy. The mission changes everyone. We´ve been working really hard this week. I kind of feel bad for my companion since he´s not used to walking so much and he´s a little shorter. He never complains though. I´m really excited for this week. I think it will go really great. The weather is now Hot Hot Hot and Dry Dry Dry. It's been over a month since it rained. Still we are happy and working hard though. I love you all. See yah in a couple years! Elder Marc Skiles
