First area is in Swift Creek/Apex, P-Day #4

My comments are in italics. I asked Gage a bunch of questions in my last letter, and he answered them. It will make more sense if you know what I asked. 

That's good you guys got the letter that I mailed!!  It will be nice to get a MP3 and speaker to help bring the spirit with general conference talks and church music.

Ah, it is so crazy that Kylee will be driving (she can get her permit after her birthday this week), at least I don't have to worry about it because I am gone ;) just kidding, she will do great!

My bike works, and the helmet is good. I like it! Other than we have had some 20 mile days with the bikes which is awful! There are so many freaking hills here it is a joke!! (The bike was bought on line, and we were hoping it was going to be okay for him. It is hard when he can't try it out first.) 

No, I haven't gotten a coat yet. I am probably going to get that today. I have a couple of sweaters, just get me one more for Christmas! :) 

We live with some members, they have made a little apartment above their garage. It is really small, but it is really nice. It's just  me and my companion that live there which is really nice. I don't have to worry about any slobs! (For some reason this calmed my heart :)

My companion is from American Fork, so he is close to where we live. He likes to golf and was a debater in high school. 

The area is pretty good, just big. We are just building up investigators right now. It is a lot of tracting in this mission. 

No, I never had time to go find it, which I was really disappointed about. :/ (I had asked if he had found a surprise that his cousin had left at the MTC for him.)

No, we don't have iPads in our  mission. I have been taking some pictures, I just forgot to bring it today so I will upload some next week. (Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a picture junkie...I hope that he has taken lots.)

I'm not a huge fan of the vinegar based BBQ sauce, but oh well. The food we get here is super good!! I am eating a lot of sandwiches, and simple stuff like that. (I like the sweet BBQ sauce too, definitely my kid. I had asked what kinds of things he was eating.)

North Carolina is good, super pretty with the trees. It looks like Seattle, but a lot more trees! The trees just make it so hard to really see anything. The humidity makes the cold worse, it is in the 30's here, but it feels colder. (I had asked, "how is North Carolina?".)

Ah such cute babies! They will be a lot bigger when I see them! (I had attached some pics of his new cousin and his new 2nd cousin, both boys!)

I love you guys so much and all the support you give me!!! <3

I found a picture on Google of somewhere in Apex, NC. Definitely some tall trees!
