Well, the past week has been interesting. I
haven't been in Lake Jackson all week; I've been on an extended exchange
in another Elder's area, and will probably just get transferred here
early. (He and his companion have been having issues so they swapped me
over here to give them each some air.) I won't find out until later today
(hopefully) if I'm getting transfered here permanently or not, so my
mailing address might change. I'd advise not sending anything until I
get a chance to tell you where I am, next week. :P
On the bright side, I've been able to teach a lot
more people in this area than in my own. :) We baptized a woman I've
taught three times before (on past exchanges) last Saturday, and we have
another guy getting ready to be baptized before the end of the month.
I've been getting along well with Elder Rogers, too.

I did get the package, thank you! :) I appreciate
it. The popcorn chocolate was interesting, haha. Where did you find
that? I thought the note was funny too. I have a vague memory of when we
wrote that.

| Bowling on P-day |
Yes, I have been sketching; during church meetings mostly ;P haha. I'll send a few pics to you.
Sorry
to hear about Grandad's thumb injury! I can imagine he's frustrated. I'll send him an
email. I've been wanting to write to him and other people, too, but every P-day
I run out of time :(
Tell Grandma and Grandpa I'm thinking about them and they're in my
prayers! You'll have to see if there's any way we can get them hooked up
to Facetime when I video-chat you guys on Mother's Day; that would be
nice if we could do a three way chat. You guys told them that I got their package, right?
We're
going to have a mission conference in the Houston temple coming up here
pretty quick; makes me miss my conversations with Grandpa. I'm excited
for it, though.

And yes, I saw an alligator a few weeks ago. It was a
tiny one, not much bigger than Hogan. I thought about trying to touch
it, but I figured life would be much easier if I retained all my
fingers. ;P haha
Looking forward to talking to y'all on Mother's Day too! :)
Talk to you next week,
Elder Duffin
