3rd week in Oklahoma

wazzzzzzzzz up!

im going to start out that the key board sucks. so it types like 3 letters at a time. this week was good. so after i emailed you we went bowling as a zone. and part of the rules is you had to bowl crazy. like left handed or granny style. and on your tippy toes. o and funny story i was bowling on my tippy toes and when i let go of the ball i lost my ballence and fell. like hard core! i hit my head pretty bad and hurt my ankle. (who knew you could do that playing bowling) i laughed about it and some guy got it on video. which is funny. i watched it like 11 times. i wish we could put it on youtube. then we went to the mall that just opend up. dont worry i didnt buy anything. but elder neild. he has been out for 3 months. and he bout like 200 bucks worth of stuff. which he isnt going to wear untill he gets off his mission. nana gave me a 50 but i wont spend it unless i need to. o the place im serving is called Mustang oklahoma. its an ok sized town about as big a centirville. its cool but not tempreture wise. its still above 100 every day. it has broken the record of most days of the year over 100. which is like 57 and it dosnt seem to be cooling down any time soon. we ride our bikes every where like 10 to 15 miles a day. so my legs hurt so bad. affter we get home i have  lost 3 pounds in sweat. but i drink a ton of water. like 6 bottles a day. im still likeing my bike. the 29 inch wheels are good and bad. i can go alot faster than elder damon but it takes alot to get started. and i gain allot of speed going down hill. elder damon has biked his whole mission so he is like the energizer missionary. he just keeps going and going and going. tuesday we just spent alot of time  Tracking .im like a pro at knocking on doors. we are trying to get 10 itc's which is invitations to Christ a day. we get allot of potental investigators but nobody wants to take all the lessons. the take the first lesson and then decide there too good for the church. we run out of book of mormons daily. ive placed like 57 of them. but people just talk to there minister and then they decide its not for them. wednesday we taught the malatka family. i told you about them right. well any way we taught them half the plan of salvation. and they really got into it. and we set up an appointment on sunday. but they called us on thursday and basicly demanded that we teach them the second half that day. so we basicly visit them daily. they are so into the gospel its not even funny. theywent out an bought the whole family quads. so thats like 300 dollers of scriptures. we are teaching/ comforting this old lady named ruby joy. she remides me a whole lot of grandma. she just had surgury on her legs. so we go and visit her like once or twice a week. friday i went on an excange with elder kile. hes from st george and knows deven maxwell. hes cool, a little lazy but he knows how to teach the gospel. he is a drummer in a band so he is constantly banging on somthing. but like fast and good. we helped a lady named jeniffer take down her pool for the summer. it was hard work. it was like a 5000 gallon above ground pool. she is a less active and hasnt been to church in a wile but on sunday she came witch is good. she has a really good looking daughter. but that doesnt matter for like two years. on saturday the malaka family invided us over for dinner we had meat loaf (not as good a yours mom so dont worry) and they had this hot sause  called devils blood. like its $100 a bottle and is 11 times hotter than a hobinyero pepper. you can only have 1 drop at a time other wise you could die. its not even good it just make your mouth and throat hurt. and you sweat for like 5 min after. then sunday we went to church and its basiclly like church back home but just not as many members. we have an inactive bisop wink. he has been out of town for like 5 weeks so i havnt met him yet. after church we went tracking. and we taught this guy named nick i dont know if i told you about him. but he is 18 and is progressing super slow. then we had dinner with the bastings. there family is so cute. they have 5 kids and they are all under 12 there so funny and smart. it was kind of like watching out of the mouth of babes. everything they said i was busting up laughing. it made me want a family. witch has never happend befor. like now i want 10 kids when befor i only wanted like 2. so this week has been a blast and a half. i miss home some times but thats normal im told. i love you guys so much i just want to give you a great big hug on the face! i know that doesnt make sence but who cares. not me. court and zak im so excitted for you guys. the place sounds great. im glad you have people to help you out. o and i no what you meen about gaining weight. if i wasnt riding a bike every day i would be 200 pounds allready. zack thanks for writing me i really felt the love from those 2 sentences.

hi dad this is payton thats cool that you went deer hunting. as weird as it sound i miss your crazy over exaggerated story's so thanks for wrighting me every week even if it is on sunday. i love you so much. thanks for your advice and your prayers. i knew you were inspired to pray for me. try not to fight with mom to much. treat her like a queen. you should wright her a hand writen letter that just says i love you and that she makes your day. your should tell bishop to wright me because i miss that guy. and every one else in the ward as well. i also want to write the young men of the ward and tell them that serving a mission is so cool and thats a great decision in there life.

well love you tons. i will see you sooner than you think.
