Dear family,

This week was pretty great, we have been super busy, which is really
good. Don't do any tracting, but people just stop us on the street so
it's pretty neat.

Monday was awesome, we shopped at a place called bottom dollar. Got like
2 weeks of groceries for cheap. Then played ping pong for a few hours
at the church with the other elders. Then saw the Tomlins, recent
converts.

Tuesday was a packed day, taught Carmen, Ron, Mccoreys and Marinellis.

Wednesday we taught Claude and Arlene and Anita

Thursday we saw the Caramandi's (spelling)

Friday we saw Marlene and Phatsala.

Saturday we played football with the young men. It was awesome, played
at FDR park, could see the eagles practice facility across the street,
I think they were scouting me out as a QB ;) it was fun. It's a huge
sports complex though. The Eagles stadium is there, the phillies
stadium and the 76ers/ flyers stadium, all right next to each other.
Then we saw the Marinellis again, and a less active named Jesse. It
was fun.

Don't remember if I mentioned last Sunday I gave a talk, and taught in
relief society, this week elder Cottle and I taught elders quorum :P
on eternal marriage! Its was strange... Anyways, went well. Then we
did home teaching at the Teps.

Loving my time here in south Philly. We cover south of market street
and west of broad. The water is the other two boarders.

We have 6 elders here. West (us), east and Spanish. It's a branch.
Can't think of too many other random things.... Hope you all have a
great week!

Love ya
