Hello one hello all, and greetings from Hyderabad!!!

I love it here, it is seriously awesome.  It is also really really hot and dusty, the average temperature right now (during the day) is around 100 degrees.  Always.  It's nice though, it's not nearly as humid as Visak.  There is also a TON of people here and the city is HUGE!!!  I think this is either the third or fourth largest city in India and our area takes up a big chunk of it haha.  Which will be fun.  Sort of.  We are kind of white-washing the area.  I say kind of because there was already a companionship here in the West Maredpally 1st ward, but now we are splitting the area.  So these next couple weeks will be a blast getting to know the place haha.

My new companion is Elder Larson!  He is a boss, really cool, humble, funny guy from Preston, Idaho haha.  So I've been cracking a lot of Napoleon Dynamite jokes with him.  He just recently returned from the Philippines; which is where the American elders go after their visas expire to apply for a new one.  He arrived on Saturday and we are both ready and excited to do some WORK.

Nothing too crazy has happened yet, but I expect this coming one to be jam packed with awesome stuff.  One thing, however: we were on a bus yesterday on the way to church (all our travel is by bus, by the way).  I was looking out the window and had to doubletake when I saw a young man riding a camel.  But the camel wasn't trotting at a normal pace, it was SPRINTING down this busy road, it was pretty crazy.

I'll try to send some pictures from this week, hopefully they come through!

Much love, hope everyone enjoyed conference!  We get to watch it this upcoming weekend!
