Hey Yall!!!

Its going to be a little short today. We are running ragged today, this next week is going to be really hectic!! today we have to drive up to Columbia for our Zone leader council. Then we are goint to be saying pretty much the whole rewst of the week. We have some leadership training meetings from tues to fri. We are going to be sitting in a class room learing things and stuff. haha its basically going to be the Mtc all over again for a
few days. We have already done these meeting once before, but they are starting the new way that we are doing things is that we will do these every other month which is cool i guess except for the fact that we are going to be learning the same things every time so thats going to be a little repeadative bit i guess that will really help us to focus on them. So i get to spend the next week living out of a little suite case and sleeping on the floor. Haha its alright though i bought me an air mattress so that better than just the plain floor.

This week has been a pretty normal one i think you could say. We did have the oppourtunity to do quite a bit of service this week which was pretty cool. We were able to go and to help out with an Eagle project for one of the kids in the ward. It was cool there were alot of people there. We went to a golf course which is one a place which used to be a plantation so there are slave graves right off of the 13th hole. Their were about 13 headstones of people that we could see so we cleared out a buch of trees and shrubs and stuff and they took these special gps and marked the grave sights on stuff. It was pretty neat, It was really crazy how many snakes that we found in those trees though man i think we killed about 5 copper heads. there was this one that was right under a log that Elder Hansen and Elder Smart picked up so Elder Hansen took some loppers and cut its head off. Then we Beheaded another with an axe type of a  thing and another with a shovel. It felt really good to be able to go out an do some manual labor get a good sweat going in the hot humid air. Then when we got home from that we were about to leave our apartment building and one of our neighbors who is a really cool member had us go over and move in another member into the building next to ours. So its pretty sweet we have three member families and then us all living right by eachother in our apartment complex. Haha we are going to take over the place. Well sorry i dont have more time haha and i cant think of much else to write but i love you guys. Pray for missionary oppourtunities and do all you can to find and make them happen there is nothing better.

Love,

Elder Fitzgerald
