August 7, 2013:
Sounds like you had a fun anniversary! I’m glad that you had
a good experience! Well first off. We do not get our reassignments until this
Thursday or Friday! And so that means that I will not know when I am going or
anything till I get my travel plans. So I don’t know when I can call or
anything. All I can say is that it will be on Monday or Tuesday! It’s usually
in the morning but I really have no clue! I wish I could let you know but my
letter would not get to you in time so you should just expect it when you least
expect it. HAHA! But yeah. I’ll try to keep you posted and maybe I’ll ask if I
can email you or have them email you or whatever, just a waiting game.
So one of the guys in my Zone (the one that was good at
volleyball) had knee problems from playing volleyball. Like meniscus or
something like that. But he had to get surgery on his knee on Monday, and he
was supposed to go to Panama on that day so he is stuck in the MTC for another
2 weeks plus. Crazy! But he basically gets to lay in a bed all day and when he
is awake he gets to study just right there.
That stinks about my package! I thought that you had said
you had sent it and I would get it tomorrow! Hmmm... I wonder if I will even
get it before I leave. That would be really nice. Oh well. Thank you so much
for putting it together! Hopefully it comes fast! Now with the money I am
supposed to have 200 with me at the airport. Right now I have about 100. So the
only question is do you think that the package can get here in time. Because if
it can than that isn’t a problem. But if it will come after I leave on Monday
or Tuesday than I should get it out of the ATM. your call. if you think that
the package can get here by Saturday than I will use the money I have and you
send money in the package, but if you do not think it will make it by Saturday
than don’t bother sending money and I will pull out of the ATM. send me an
email by 6pm (I’ll check later tonight) if not send me a dear elder telling me
what to do. If I do not hear from you by Saturday I will pull $200 out of my
account. It is totally your call. I hope that made sense. But I can call at the airport and I got a
calling card so I will be calling no matter what, I’ve been sick the past
couple days! Running nose, massive headaches! It sucks! Trying to speak Spanish
and listen to Spanish while you are sick is not fun! The other day they did
this activity where we were all blind folded and we had to teach a lesson just
by hearing our companion and the spirit. It did not go well for my sinuses and
stuff. By the end I was swaying, about to pass out! Super weird! But the point
of it was to not get distracted during a lesson and I realized that I needed to
work on that like a ton! And then that night (which was two nights ago) I was really
sick and so excited to finally get to bed! And these Elders were up till 1230
in the morning out in the hall being really loud and annoying! At like 11 I
walked out and yell at them but it didn’t really do anything. If it wasn’t for
the fact that I felt like crap I would have gotten up and kicked some serious
butt! It always seems to be the English speaking missionaries. Since they are
only here for 12 days they don’t really take it serious and are really annoying
all the time. Since today is Wednesday and we get new missionaries. We saw a
new missionary walking and he said he was from Gilbert so I started talking to
him. He is going to like Missouri or something like that, English speaking. And
he is right down the hall from us. So I said "be quiet at night or I
PROMISE I will kick your butt." haha!
But yeah. Things have been good. Last night was our last
Devo. It was pretty dry. It was given by a brother that graduated from BYU with
language. Than he was a seminary teacher, trained seminary teachers. And
created curriculum and was like president of the scripture thing or whatever. And
his whole talk was about effective ways to read and to mark the scriptures and
stuff like that! Haha! Complete opposite of my personality. So it was only
okay. But it was after the Devo that was awesome. We have an after Devo discussion
with our district and one of the members of the branch presidency. And we got
my favorite member. Haha! Brother Don McGee! He is so funny but such an awesome
speaker. We all went through and bore a testimony and than it was his turn to
talk and he just like kept talking and it was so powerful. We went 15 minutes
over and no one was complaining! Haha. Um. Let’s see. What else. I started to
teach my self how to shine shoes. I don’t think I did too badly. Haha! Both of
my investigators are getting baptized on Saturday! So that is pretty exciting,
Britany Brienholt wrote me. (Spencer’s friend. she is a twin. and her twin is
married. she is on a mission in Atlanta) so that was pretty exciting. That was
pretty cool about Spencer and I enjoyed the pictures! Things with my companion
are okay. Nothing really to comment on. We’re just working hard and enjoying
the time being on a mission. Oh! Speaking of packages, you may or may not be
getting a package in the next couple days. Idk. It’s very possible, just make
sure that if there happens to be a package that Mitchell and garret don’t open
it. It isn’t for them. Well I am going to email Taylor..... Elder Kerr. I’ll
probably hop on later so feel free to email back. Love ya! <3
Is my letters and blog and stuff going on my FB? Has people
been seeing it? Like more than just people from the ward? And I need the
addresses or at least emails for Ryan and Ashley from Frys! Or at least tell
them to write me. Um.... and other people... I’m not sure haha
Haha! Don’t you love it! And okay. Well, these Elders in the
district asked the travel people and they said they wont get our travel plans
and everything till tomorrow night and then they have a lot of work. 150 missionaries
being reassigned just this week. And so we won’t get them till Friday.
