Dear Family and Friends (specifically Nana+Pappy, David, Patrick, Dad, Mom, Mary Beth, and Lindsey),
So this week was fairly spectacular! I won't mention any names because every time I do something happens. (Literally - I sent a letter to Lindsey about an epic investigator and 3 hours later she called and canceled our appointments.) But things are going really well here. Oh and mom, as for your question about my days (teaching in evenings, but what in the working hours?).... It doesn't matter what time it is honestly :P. The welfare system here is kind of messed up, so 50% of people don't work at all. They just sit around and claim to be looking for work (we call them chaves). So actually almost 1/2 of our teaching appointments occur between 12-3pm. Which wouldn't be bad except that it is really nice to get off the streets in the evenings, and getting members to lessons is difficult as most of the members are employed. But such is life. Oh, this week may be a fairly historic week for me. It may be the first time I/we have to drop an investigator instead of the other way around. Yeah he is a really really rich old guy who really just wants to talk more than to learn and he doesn't really let us teach much, so we may have to drop him and use our time elsewhere which is really sad to me, but he really doesn't want the gospel at all and other people do, so unless something changes it may be bye bye Jared. It is really sad. Oh well. Hey this week is conference! Did you know that we watch the Saturday evening session on Sunday morning here? Yeah, huge time change, but both morning sessions are live so that is nice. :) But it is going to be epic! I never realized before what a great missionary opportunity conference is. It is one thing to tell people that there is a prophet on the earth today, but another entirely to say would you like to hear him speak. But anyway g2g

Love,
Elder William W. Tombs

PS-I was going to look up a rebuking scripture because I still haven't gotten any non-Lindsey post yet but I do realize that post takes 8-days or so to get here, but I am expecting mail :). Seriously, tell everyone to write me! Tell your friends it doesn't even matter if I know them or not, just give them the address and tell them to send a few thoughts. My companion is seriously the most written to Elder in the mission! Every day he has a letter waiting for him! I need to stay competitive also you get alot better stuff with my hand written stuff :) Just saying. So yeah- letters! Tell all of your friends (like literally ALL of them and give them my address :)) Haha... But seriously..
PPS sorry about the Ipod :P I guess I didn't think that through too well :P
William sent his ipod home but it never made it. We received the letter without the ipod and the envelope had a big tear in the side. Someone somewhere got to listen to a whole lot of Mormon tabernacle choir music. :)
