hey everyone! so yeah i got transfered as you all know already and i am in Highlands Ranch which is a really really rich area.. the ward members here are amazing! they help the missionaries out so much and they are so nice! its way better than my last area in that category.. but we are doing lots and lots of tracting because there aren't too many people who are willing to listen.. but we teach the ward members on nights that we dont have appointments with investigators.. i think we have 4 different investigators but i dont know too much about htem cuz i've only been here a week.. so hopefully things will go good with them.. i'll be sure ot keep in touch and let you all know. so last saturday Elder Fauvell and i were walking on our way to go tracting and a member stopped us and asked if we were goin to the graduation party and we were like umm no and they were like well do you want to!? and so of course we took them up on it and we went with them! :) there were a ton of people and we got to eat food and hang out.. but yeah the ward members are pretty sweet here! so i think it was sunday we ate a family's home and they are the Gibbs Julie and Gary GIbbs, well anyways they grew up in Ellensburg and Sunnyside so i was telling them how i was from the east side of the state and i asked them if they knew the Calaways and of course they did! haha but i guess she (julie) takes her 3 boys up there to washington every summer to work on the farm.. so it is a really small world, especially a MORMON WORLD.. haha so yeah that is all that has really been going on.. but i will respond to the email.. yeah the house we are living in is really nice, so im sure its the one taht you google maped, and we live with a member family but they aren't in our ward's they are in another ward but we still live with them.. we live in their basment, yes we are still in a biking area but my companion doesn't like to bike, well he sucks at it and is slower than slow so we walk pretty much everywhere! hahah which isn't too bad but its good exercise.. my companion is from Twin Fall's originally but his family moved to Pocatello last summer so he will be going back there, he is almost done with his mission.. he is a great guy, he is ALWAYS happy and cheerful which helps me a tons! i talk with him about all sorts of things and he trys to give me advice.. umm what else.. haha he is a real goof! sometimes he will never shut up! i will have to take a picture of him today and send it to you so you all can see.. but he is a really nice guy and think that he is good for me.. and yes i have figured out about what President meant when he said that my companion would need me.. haha its just cuz he will need help trying to stay focused and working all the way to the end.. so it's a bit challenging but it's all good.. That is so cool that Connell is going to state for softball and the fact that they are number 1, i hope that they do good! . i do continue to write in my journal but i dont do it everyday anymore cuz that got old, i only do it whne i have a spiritual moment or something funny happens.. i am so excited for Jarin! holy cow when i read that i started jumping, i know it will be way good for him, its gonna be challenging but he's been through alot already and so there isn't anything he cant get over! you'll have to let me know as soon as y'all find out. so yeah.. thats about all i have for this week, umm how is everything going for everyone else? i hope that school and work continue to go well.. sorry i haven't got any letters sent out recently, i have been waiting to hear from you all.. so i will sned some letters out as soon as possible.. anyways take care and keep in touch! i love you all so much and miss you! LOVE YOU!! Love,Elder Randy Anderson
