Hello! Wassup! How's everyone doin'?

Everything is going good here in Howell. I've been way busy! So I thought I'd share a story right off the bat.

Some of you might find this dumb but it still makes me laugh. So as some of you know, we as missionaries get a certain amount of miles each month in the car; well along with miles to drive, we have what we call write-offs. If we have certain events we have to go to, like conferences or anything, we get them written off. Well, last week I added up miles, and found our average amount of miles out for the month. It came out to me something like 17.83 miles a day, or somewhere along those lines. Well, we usualy use about 40 on a average day, so we biked every day this last week to conserve miles for a "just in case" instance. Well, after the last week of biking, I wanted to see how many miles we had for the rest of the month with all the saving we did. Well, I started doing the math, and realized that last time I figured everything out and didn't add in our write-offs... so we now have an average of 48.something miles per day! I was mad and happy at the same time! Haha.

Anyway, everything is going good here. We're about halfway through the week and we're already at 16 lessons - and it's lining up to be busy! So I'm way excited! We get transfer calls this Saturday night to find out if we're either staying or leaving, so I can't wait for that also.

I looked into my journal last night and realized that tonight was going to be my 100th entry into my journal - so that means that today is my 100th day of being on a mission! Crazy! I can't believe it's been that long! Hahaha.

Well... I think that's about all... have a good one!!

Peace out ~

Elder Jones
