Plattsburgh is fun! We ride bikes and walk. Thursday and Friday we was soaked wet (this grammar is correct up in the norrth country [prolong the 'r' sound]).
Elder Perkins is trunky. He has been writing out his homecoming talk for the past two weeks. So it is a struggle to work with him. But he is still a good guy. Friday night Elder Checketts joined our companionship. He is our district leader, but his companion had to go home, so we are now a threesome. We find out tomorrow if this is for the rest of the transfer or not. We also work with a Senior couple, the Bradley's. They are fun couple from Utah.
We just had a baptism on Saturday for Diane and her daughter Eve. The font is literally a hole in the ground (see pictures). This is the second time I walked into a baptism. It was beautiful, but got a little scary, because the person baptizing did not get there till 20 minutes after it started.
The branch has about 60-80 people active. We have a nice building because it was once a big ward with the now shut-down air-force base.
I can't believe I have been out about a year. Time goes by so fast. Both Elder Checketts and Perkins have been out longer than I, so it is a change to be back being the youngest.
I love you all, and hope you have a great week.
Love,
Elder Shurtz
