Picture Postcards

Dear Home,
I've never sent a post card before, but I figure this is much the same thing.  This is me and Elder Dansie and Demarcus.  Today is August 2, 2010, and it is hot and wet outside.  I was informed yesterday that I will be taking over Ensley, and Elder Guinn will be my companion*.  I'm going to have to be lead by the spirit, because I don't know how to get to anyone's house as of now**...and no way am I buying a GPS.  It'll be good to have a refresher on Dutch, though.  Apparently, Elder Guinn hasn't forgotten quite as much as I have.  Mission is going well.

*Elder Guinn was also called to Suriname/West Indies, and he was in Xander's district in the MTC.  They were both reassigned to Birmingham, Alabama due to Visa problems.

** I speculate that Xander falls asleep soon after his seat belt is attached, and that is why he wouldn't know his way around.  His entire life, he has fallen fast asleep in the car.

This is when my coat was in home ward, so I don't fit in.  Elder Dansie did a District Training with us.  Being a missionary is fun.  I sure enjoy serving the Lord.

Rickwood Field is the oldest baseball field in America.  Elder Dansie got a flat from a big nail in the road, so we were walking that day.  This shows that Ensley, Alabama used to be a real city, not a dying one.
