Hola!
So how are things going in Utah? I hope everything's going well. So things are going pretty well here. My comp is alright; I have no problems with him, he's just a little weird and doesn't talk in the lessons so I end up teaching everythng which stinks but it's all good. He's from Payson. Our apartment is not bad I guess, it's the smallest one I've been in so far and we have roaches, but other than that it's really nice :) I've heard only a little bit about that whole facebook thing and I think it's in like upstate NY. It's kind of interesting and it's a little different than traditional missionary work, but the world is different than it used to be I guess. That's sweet you guys got to go on that ride. I saw the pictures that Derek took of that tree and it is sooooo weird to think about. It was exactly nine years ago and only a few days before the whole Sept. 11 thing. I totally want to go back and see that when I get home. So things here in my new area are pretty good. We don't have very many solid investigators right now (story of my mission, right?) but there are a couple people with some potential to progress. I also wanted to tell you that in Yonkers the 4 investigators that Elder Chavarria and I had been teaching are getting baptized on Sunday. I knew they would for sure get baptized it just took a little longer than I thought. It's kind of frustrating that it happened right after I got transferred, but at least I got to teach them. I would love to make it up there for the baptism but I don't think it will happen. It's kind of nice to finally see some people that I've taught get baptized :) Well I don't have much time because I still have a few other emails to write, but thank you for everything and I'll talk to you soon!!

Love
Elder Maxfield
