Hey bro. How's mission prep going. How's work going. Managing money out here is deffinately a pain. Are you still buying a million backpacks and jackets. Oh and speaking of jackets I might need to get a waterproof one, as it rains like no other lately. How are your classes going. The squirrels here are going insane lately. A month ago they would chuck acorns at me while I ran, and pelt our neighbors car. Now they're panicking because they know winter is coming, and they are scrambling for food. There are tons of them smashed in the streets. They're ridiculous they are running out in the streets with total disregard for cars. It's pretty gorey to see some of these dead gotesque little things. Anyway, It's about time you wrote me hoser.

That's tight. aren't you glad that you tried out now. I'm online right now. I think I'd like a black shell basically. Probably like the ones that you have. That way when I get my big coate I can put it under and layer myself. Do you think that would be a good idea. How are you and the bike. Wait till you see the pictures I send you of me on some tight bikes.

Well I'm just thinking so that I can use the shell right now over the top of my sweaters when it's not extremely cold right now, just raining a lot. Are you at school right now.

Awesome, just sitting here doing laundry and email. We're going to go on a bike ride down by the river today. Then we've got dinner at the Craves.
I don't think you need to send me a coat. I wrote josh to see if he can get me a cheap shell like one of the ones that he has. I bought that hoodie a wal-mart. And some missionary before left this way nice wool long one that was made in the Czech Republic. It's huge though, but maybe I can have some tayloring or alterations made. It's a nice one. One of these p-days we'll go down to Rockford and hit up the Burlington coat factory or one of the Men's Warehouses or the Mall. We'll go coat shopping.
Right. The lady that bought me the nice 3 piece suit. Where we do our laundry and email. Pretty much the most amazing family in the history of missionaries.
Oh you didn't get that email???? We were dontown in rockford to pick up the kids with her on p-day and we went into this shop. I was looking a some suits and I found some cool ones. I went in the back and tried one on and I liked it. it was 80 or 85 bucks brand new and I thought, oh I need a brown one to wear with my shoes I think I'll get it. I went back to change into my clothes and when I came back she had paid for it!!! This suit is nice, it is fitted like it was made for me. It's a way nice three piece. I have some pictures of me in it. I have gotten a lot of compliments from people. I gotta go outside for a second though ok.
Yeah it was a letter for you to read to the young women of the ward or to give it to their leaders. I'll have to rewrite it another day. I'll hear from ya later. Look for me in the afternoon next wednesday.
That's intense. I hope everything is ok. I want to see some pictures of this. My foot is doing better, not totally recovered though. I quit wearing that boot, I think it was making it worse. I bought some arch supports at Wal-mart to take the pressure off of the ball of my foot and my arch. That has helped a lot. Sis. Crave bought my comp some new shirts because she says they need help. It's true they are a little faded and darker. This week has been good. My comp is still amazing as usual. He said something really nice to me the other day as we were talking about companions and who would be good with who. We talked about what we like companions to be like. I said I wanted one that would push me and challenge me. Elder McCleery said, " I'll be honest with ya, Elder Adams, I don't think you're going to get someone who can push you, because you're so driven. I mean you're like at the top." It made me feel good, that he saw me as a hard working missionary. It helps to hear that every once in a while. At the same time it's humbling, because I have a standard to fulfill.
We had exchanges this week also, since my comp is the district leader again. I was cleared to drive, so I stayed in Beloit and I got to drive. It felt really weird and awkward. I'm sending you some pictures from the past two baptisms and a bunch of other stuff. Be sure and let me know when you get it. We have gotten a lot of rain lately, and it is deffinately cooling off. I've worn both of my sweaters (Which are amazing). That coat however is huge, and could serve as a pavilion for an oger. I know the city of beloit REALLY well, it's just getting to dinner appointments and Rockford that is a little tought. We use the map though. It's slower, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to bust down and buy a GPS. I really do hope that you and Spencer are ok though. I finished reading the BOM that I started towards the end of my first transfer. I read it using that paper you gave me, about the savior. I started reading the BOM again and I'm reading the New Testament. The scriptures are amazing. I wish I could show you all of the cool stuff I've found and written in my scriptures. I love you tons mom, and Family. Keep me posted.
I don't know if I told you this but WE GOT ROBBED. That's right. We came home for luch and our garbage can was in front of our door. I thought it was just the hippie lady that shares the house. We went in and as my comp went to make his spaghetti, his cupboard was empty. I had been in the restroom and told him to quit messing around. We both looked everywhere, in the oven, upstairs, in the other cupboards. Nothing, someone had cleaned out just his cupboard. We found out that we had left our door unlocked and that they had also taken our coveted massage pad that we have on our recliner. We make sure we lock up now. Then when we came back later that day, our door was unlocked again, and the door was adjar!!! I could hear someone in there. Then I went in and it was just the ward members that inspect our apartment every transfer. We interrogated them as to where Elder McCleery's newly purchased load of food had gone. They had no idea. They're an elderly couple so it wasn't them. Our ward mission leaders wife loaded him up though at Sunday dinner. So let that be a lesson to you. When you leave on the edge of the "Hood" don't leave your door unlocked. Love ya dad
