We have again been blessed in many ways this week, it is kind of amazing how it happens. First, it has warmed up this week and we have had some nice humid days for sure. We have been able to spend lots of time with one of my favorites Brother Pickersgill this week. He has been baptized for about 4 years now and is the Sunday School President in the ward. He is a bigger man and cant walk to far, so he rides his wheel chair around a lot. We went with him to eat dinner on his birthday, went to a couple appointments with him, and he has the sisters in his area so I think he liked the change up so much that he took us out to eat again on Saturday. He is super nice and loves missionary work. We also got to visit with the Maynard family this week. They are an older couple who Sister Maynard is pretty active, and as Brother Maynard puts it, has been investigating for about 60 years. They could tell you stories all day about missionaries and it was fun to meet them because I had heard a lot about them. We also visited with Stephanie again this past week, and had a great lesson. She is really seeing the need for the Gospel in her life right now and wants to make some changes it seems, so that is super great. Yesterday we went on exchanges and had some super awesome things happen. We did lots of bike riding and some tracting too, and when the day was over we had 3 new people to teach for our area between the 2 of us.

I am glad to hear summer is cruising right along, I was thinking recently that this time of year used to be kind of like summer was almost over. It is transfers, so I will email on Tuesday next week. I should be staying but there might be a couple little changes that happen so it is better to be safe than sorry. The other elders had an appointment with Marie, but she cancelled because she was sick so they are going to call on Tuesday and try to set something up. 

 i havent really ran into any Amish much, I have been in the city most of the time. I know there are places where there are hitching rails at wal- mart for them though. 

Elder Walker and myself are doing ok, we are quite different thats for sure. He is super caring about the people we teach and that is always amazing. As far as getting used to companions, it depends. some it takes some time to adjust, some are pretty easy,  but always you have to adjust things. 

 I am so thankful for all that you all do. Have a great week!!

Love Elder Koden Hunt
