Yeah that was pretty amazing to have another chance to talk to you on the phone so soon! I'm sorry if i rushed off real quick but the mission president let me call from our cell phones, and we don't get very many minutes each month and i didn't want to get distracted! haha oh man i could have talked to you guys forever. So if you ever see a phone number with 315 answer because that is a New York area code. SO things are going great here in Geneva mom. Sorry i haven't been giving you much details, haha sometimes i don't know the things people want to hear about. Ok so we have a car, and it is the exact same car we have at home. The only difference is that it is silver, so it is easy to drive and i am used to it to. And our investigator frank got me and elder westley bikes that we can use too around this area so that is just pretty dang awesome. They are way nice bikes too! The only hard thing about using those bikes is, we live up at the top of the town and every investigator we have lives at the bottom. Haha so gettin there is easy but coming up, we are biking uphill for a couple miles, and yeah that kinds stinks let me tell ya.
Its not very humid here right now, but fall is already here. its in the 70's or the 60's now and the leaves are starting to change thier colors too. It is so pretty out here mom, you would love it. I have taken a ton of pictures and i am sending those home on monday, i just forgot to yesterday so you'll have to wait another week. Sorry momma. but could you guys send me my other memory card so i can have it here when you have my other one?
Things are going pretty well here too now mom. It is awesome. We are meeting with this couple, Ray and Jacinda Johnson, and they rock. Jacinda is an inactive member and her husband isn't a member. they both live in this sweet trailer park, haha, and we go over there alot. Ray Johnson now has a baptismal date for oct 9, and his wife and him have come to church and have been saying their prayers and reading the scriptures together. They are amazing and they both want to get married in the temple so bad so they can be together forever, and not just for here. I know they will get married in the temple in the future and that will be awesome! They both have pretty bad smoking problems but they are working on that and they are doing really well.
Another Kid we are working with is Chris. He is 14 years old and he is so cool He is just this little goofy kid, but he loves he mom so much and his family. His mom and brother and sister were baptised a few months ago, and he has seen them change alot for the better and now he wants us missionaries over to start teaching him. He loves it sooo much, and he already has a testimony of joseph smith and this being the true church! And he wants to be baptised too so he can be with his family and live a better life. they have had a tough life, haha holy cow, his mom has 6 kids and all of them are from a different dad. And they live in govt housing and are pretty poor but they are awesome. I love seeing how happy the gospel can make people mom. It is just awesome.
Oh sooo my bday is coming up, you should send me my vans up here so i just have some regular chill shoes for pday instead of just those sneakers. That would pretty much be amazing. And last week i went to the EB Grandin building, the hill cumorah, and the sacred grove again. And we went around palmyra too. WOw mom those places are awesome, we all need to come out here and take a trip sometime because the spirit is soooo stong and its amazing to be here where all this stuff actually happened! I love it hard.
A couple words that we use around here is snerf. haha thats a word pretty much for anything like, what is all that snerf about? And another one is womp, and it is junk food. We have so many fat missionaries here it is crazy. So whenever they want to get fat they say lets go eat some womp! Those are a couple fun words to use. I have become good buddies too with elders Stocker, and Cook too they are just amazing and i love them soo much. We see them all the time at district meeting and stuff and they are cool. We did a companion exchange and i was with Elder stoker for a couple days. That was nice getting a little break from elder westley haha.
WEll mom i love you soo much and tell sam and jess i love them too. Haha sam is a tard she thought i got in a wreck and broke my legs. haha what a nub. Sorry i am on a computer this week with a timer so i gotta be quick! Love you guys sorry about no email yesterday, lame labor day haha. Talk to you next week!

Elder Ingram
