this is another letter from paul to you!
hey!
life here in K-town is awesome! my new companion is elder archibald. he is a newer elder from sandy utah!! thats right! haha but before his mission he was an EMT which means, if you roll your car he is the guy that shows up and keeps you alive till you get to the hospital! But with that training he is obligated to use it when it is need it. so he has a special pack with him all the time. and just the other night we were walking home. and there was a latino guy passed out on the side walk. so he went right to work. then i called 911. it was really cool to watch him work. they soon woke the guy up with some salts. but then we had to translate for him!! haha i love this work! but as far as the gospel work goes. we have some awesome prospects for this transfer. we already have one date for next week. plus some really strong investigators. so we are going to tear it up! our first night in the transfer we were walking around and we found a street vendor. we talked to her for a while. she seemed some what interested but we couldnt get a return appt. but she gave us free tamales! so at that point we decided that this was going to be a good transfer :) i hope all is well for you!
miss you!

another paul note to everyone
here is another note from paul!
SPLOOSH!
thats right! 5 baptisms on easter baby! it was the garnica family. Ahh! it was awesome to see the change that the gospel has brought into their lives! they are moving along so fast! but after the baptism we went to their house for some dinner. tacos de lengua which is in english tongue tacos! and if that is not enough! we also had some fried grasshoppers!! haha i love it! actually both tasted really good! and they taught me how to make them. so when i get home i am going to open a taco truck! today we also got to go to the beach! we get to go once a year. but we still cant touch the water :(. but it was still fun to get out into the sand and play some sports! transfers are this week. and elder hopoate is leaving to a different area! so i will be getting a new companion! im pretty excited! this next transfer in k-town is going to rock! we already have some people lined up for baptism! i love this work! i miss you a ton!
