All right family email timeee.  It's going to be another short one - aww geez sorry.

Okay so this week was the Johnson County Fair.  Which means that basically for half the week I was sitting in a chair handing out popcorn to people.  It was pretty cool.  We gave out a lot of Book of Mormons.  A lot of people tried to bash on us while we were in the stall though which was hilarious.  We also had someone sneak a pamphlet underneath our pile of Temple Pictures.  It was basically "How I escaped Mormonism".  Talked about a lady who was a relief society president and got so caught up in typical anti-Mormon messages she left the Church.  We burned it later that night.  Overall the fair was nice.  It was torture at the same time though because of all the hot girls in short shorts.  Aww man.  ):

Anyways in this email I’m going to talk to you about....the...W family.  I'm not allowed to use their last name so they're the W family.  I'm not sure if I talked to you about them earlier but I'm going to again if I did.  The W family is way nice.  They live in the trailer park.  We visit this family about 2-3 times a week.  They talk and talk and never stop talking.  They're a lot of fun despite how hard they are to control.  They're less active, but we've been getting them to church the past few weeks.

Anyways this week is transfers week.  I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get a new companion and have to take over the area.  I'll still be training though, which means that I'm going to be someone's step-son in missionary speak.  I'm wondering if he's going to be as chill as my current companion, so I'm kind of worried about that.  Anyways tomorrow we find out and then I guess we're going to do transfers on Thursday.  I'm not really ready to take over the area but, I guess I have to do it.  Anyways there’s nothing else much to say.  I'm going to start telling you more about the families I visit because I've been doing a pretty poor job.  

Overall things are going nice here.  It's not been as hot, but this week we have the bike so its bound to get hot.  For some reason the weather is only nice when we have the car mind you.  Anyways, I hope everything’s going well.  Fill me in more about Grandma's condition and everything else.

P.S.

Just sending a small e-mail about transfers:  I'm going to be staying here in Gardner, but now Gardner is being combined with another city called Paola because not much is happening there.  One of the missionaries from Paola is going to be my companion now because his companion is going home.  Elder Whitworth is his name.   I'm going to be moving apartments as well.  So my address is going to be changing so don't send anything to the current address until I give you the updated address next time I get on.  Anyways I better get going.  We have to go from house to house to house tonight so that we can get pictures and say goodbye to all of the families we can.  We have bikes today too so it's going to be pretty bad.  At least with Gardner and Paola combining, I'll be full-time car from now on!
