hey mom, thanks for the letter, i really like reading your letters. well this week was pretty good,me and elder k from Waveland went on splits and he came to pass christian with me. it was good except all week it has been so so windy! we biked over the bridge while the wind was against us the entire time! it was so exhausting, I've been a little exhausted this week because of all the biking. well we've been mostly trying to see people this week, we saw the necs once and they're are doing good, they have slowed down a bit, but they are coming along at their own pace. so other than that not much else has happened. this Saturday is transfer info. I'll let you know next week what is going on for transfers. it will be interesting. I'll be here in pass Christian for 6 months next week. that's kind of cool, but it also has flown by. but we'll see what lies in store for me. well thanks again for the letter, ill talk to you next week, love ya bye!

love hank

 PS tell Sis. (Ruth) Morris that i said hi too     (*updated note:  Sis. Ruth Morris, a longtime member of our ward has been very ill.  I went to visit her the Saturday before, Oct. 8, and she asked about Hank.  She shared some very sweet stories about him.  She said "sitting on the back row at church, you notice a lot of things!" She asked me to please tell him hello, which I did in my letter to him the next day.  His P.S. is for her.  Sis. Morris died 3 days after this letter from Hank, on Oct. 13)
