Hello!!!!
Hey, so this week was a little bit better than last week
for sure. It was kind of a bummer that that kid didn’t end up getting baptized,
but that is just one of the many challenges that we have to deal with when we
are out on a mission. I know that he will be ready to accept it in the future
with his mom as well! They are a super cool family and we actually stopped by
there the other day and the mom is still super cool with us coming over and
stuff! We actually were biking the other day, and she drove past us and honked
her horn and started waving like crazy at us. It is so fun when you get people
like that where you can tell that they are being friendly and not trying to
scare you so you fall off of the bikes!
Other than that this week was super eventful! The week
started off really good on Monday when we went golfing! It was a blast! We had
so much fun that we decided since today was the last Monday of the transfer we
had better go and do it again. But this time we found a sweet deal where we
could pay 20 dollars for 2 of us so $10 each and with it comes a golf cart, a
hot dog, and a game of golf! It was awesome!
Then on Tuesday we had a Zone Meeting which was super
good, but the best part was for sure after when (since I am the District Leader)
we went over to this burger place as a district and ate there for lunch all
together! It is always really cool to get together like that and talk outside of
meetings. We also that night got to go and meet with a family that we have been
teaching. The mom is a member of the church, and there is an 8 year old girl,
and a 13 year old boy who are not baptized. But, they are both getting baptized
this Saturday which is super exciting! They were just interviewed on Sunday, and
now they are all set!
The last
really cool and funny thing that we did is we went to this crazy burrito place
for lunch on Friday because one of the elders that we live with got a gift card
from his dad to take us all out to lunch. We ordered the Jumbo Burrito which I
didn’t picture to be even close to as jumbo as it really was. In the picture my
arm is right up next to it and it is literally as long as my forearm. It was
ridiculous. But each of us got our own and we forced each other to finish it all
in one sitting! Definitely finished it in about 15 minutes! NO BIG DEAL! :) But
then that night for dinner we had Mexican Food. :O There might be such a thing
as TOO MUCH MEXICAN FOOD IN ONE DAY!!! But other than that we had another good
time golfing in our KITTY-CAT SHIRTS today! We were driving golf carts around
and like drifting on the side walks and stuff! We drove through a couple of big
huge puddles and got splashed which felt super good since it was like 110
degrees outside! :) Then we decided to take the extra balls and go to the
driving range :) We got some really good hits off of it for
sure!
Well that’s all I got for
you guys this time. Oh except on last little thing. TRANSFER CALLS CAME LAST
NIGHT! I have been called to be a ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZONE LEADER!!! BOOM AND THE CROWD GOES
WILD! I am super excited and I can’t wait to see who my new companion is going
to be. I will let you guys know my new address when I know what it is next
Monday! I love you guys a ton and can’t wait to hear from all of you guys again!
:) Tell the Elwood’s that I said HI! I pasted the note that Makenzie gave me the
night that I left in my Journal and just saw it again last night! It is super
awesome!
Thanks again Mom! Oh
and my pants are like falling apart now out here so would I be able to get some
new ones? I guess Biking for a long time does that to pants for some weird
reason. LAME!
Love you
tons!

P.S. We found some
pretty cool puppy tattoos at that Mexican food place. It was pretty funny! (Don't
worry they are gone now!)
