Hey all,

I wish I had some stuff to report on, but I don't really have much. haha. Last Monday I sprained my ankle playing volleyball. I landed on someones foot as I came down from a block. Twas very painful. I can walk, well hobble, now and it is progressively getting better. Most of the week was spent studying and cleaning. Pretty lame. Oh well.

I do have a new companion. His name is Elder Pongi. He is from Tonga. He has been on his mission for a little over a year now. His english is very good for not knowing any before his mission. He is such a goofball and cracks me up. We have a lot of fun. It's going to be a great transfer. As soon as I can start working fully again. I am starting to walk better but I'm scared for biking. Hopefully it wont take too long to be able to bike. I'm upset that this happened because we just got 2 new polynesians in our district who know how to play volleyball. And now I'm hurt. Oh well. haha. Well thanks for all the updates. I'm glad that Sister Goodwin was able to meet mom and deliver the note. I think that the Goodwins should be friends with the Cockrells up at BYUI. That would be sweet. Well, I gotta go. We're now going to the gym where I can watch people play volleyball. Gosh. haha have a great week!

love,
Elder Steed
