hey fam this week was another good one, we now have 15 people on date to be baptized in febuary!!! how awesome is that, as a district we have thirty people on date to be baptized and as a mission we have 304 and so our district alone has 10 percent of the people on date, so im pumped we should have a very white febuary, that is if im still here and im praying that i am, i love it here, it will be almost as hard to leave charleston as it was to leave home, lets just say ive settled in here, ive made some of the best friends ever and its finally turned into a place with as much love as i was able to have / create back home, and really dont want to have to build that from the ground up agian haha but if i do get called somewhere else i will go happily and bring as much love as i can there, please pray for the charleston missionaries and there investigators please. yesterday we played socker and went to the aquarium in down town, it was so awesome, enserio i loved it, i dont get how anyone can believe there is not a god, the world is way to beautiful and unique to be created by science or on accident, seriously how stupid/ brainwashed can ya get haha, but anyways i will take you guys there when you come, it is awesome. we got to spend last night in west ahley right outside of downtown and that was so awesome / sad if i have to leave it could be my last dinner with all the young couples down there, they are awesome and help us so much its rediculous, i miss the charleston ward haha just not trying to find hispanics there haha, north charleston ward has much more for which im grateful , i get the best of both worlds as a missionary, and mom i dont get bike problems , ha i never get to ride it unless im on exchanges outside my area, all of the hispanic areas are to dangerous to bike to because we would literally have to bike on a highway, and even though i love the lord i dont love him that much haha, we get a car but we only get a certain amount of miles which means we walk alot to, i prefere walking to bikeing in the winter , its perfect temperature to walk here 55, 60, 75 on sunday haha. anyways i got to run but im doing great and i love you guys so much, wait oh ya , so i went and got my eyes checked and with the insurance coverage we would still have to pay 289 or 300 basically to get my glasses, so mom please go to walmart and reorder me a supply of contacts, why didnt you ever tell me how expensive it was to fix my blindness? geez yall have been spending a ton on me just for my vision, anyways i love you for it, im very grateful, especially that you never made me skimp or anything in them, thats alot of money considering ive had glasses since 18 months and i broke a pair like every 3 months when i was little haha. so ya i dont know what to do about the glasses , but please order me some contacts atleast for now. thanks love elder harris
