Sorry about last week’s short letter, the library only allows you 15 minutes without a library card, and you need a piece of mail to get one, I still haven't gotten any mail, so i am borrowing another missionaries library card, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't send mail!Elder Stevens is from Bear Lake and he is quite tall, but I am used to having a tall companion, Elder Young was tall as well. Elder Steven is pretty close to going home, he has about 10 weeks left (if he's trunky, he's hiding it very well).Him and I cover about two counties just East of Knoxville, one county is quite urban and the other is moderately rural. There are a lot of horse lovers in our area, and my allergies don't let me forget it. The last few days have been sunny and warm (comparatively) but we are supposed to be getting more nasty weather this next week, starting today with some rain and cloud coverage. When I first got here the number of people we were teaching was small, but we are finally getting some people to let us teach them. If things go right we will be baptizing shortly. If things don't go right we will be baptizing eventually. I hope you all enjoy your week, don't let the weather get you down. Love Elder Jose
