39th week



hi all you people.
so i got your package. and i didn't get your package. the office people for the apartment complex are going on strike or something. so they wont allow me to get the package out of the office. it pisses me off. but im trying to be like Jesus.
so this week has been great. lots of happiness and stuff. we did lots of service this week. so im a little sun burnt. but that's ok i kind of got rid of my missionary tan line. first i helped some family's in the ward mow there lawn. it was fun to get out the old service clothes. then this less active guy (he reminds me of sparky Taylor) needed help roofing his shed out back. i guess it was framing but whatever. thanks dad for teaching me how to do a little bit of construction. because i would have been helpless without those basic skills. you know i never did like helping you out in the marsh until now. it was cool the way it turned out. and his son was like hey i want to be baptized. so were like heck yes! we can help you with that. so now were teaching his son.
we also teaching this guy named Freddy. he is catholic. he got in a fight with a saw and lost a couple of fingers. but now he want to learn about the church. so we went over and taught him on Thursday. we took a member with us. and it was so help full because he just bore his testimony of the truthfulness of this church all the lesson. we taught him about Joseph smith and about the restoration. and i invited him to be baptized and he said yes! so this work is just chugging along. i love this Gospel and they way it works with people. i love inviting people to change there lives. its the best! (say it like nacho)
on Friday we went to visit some less active guy. and he awserd the door and let us in. but from the moment i walked into the door i could tell something was off. he kept saying weird things. and he kept telling us that he loved us. then he said something about drugs. and then it hit me. he was high as a kite. he was sitting on the ground rocking back and forth. telling us that he need to change his life and he kept praying and asking the lord to help him. but he was praying for his watch and for his fish and his carpet and that fire would spread around the world. it was so funny. but then he said he wanted to get us some food. he was like you know what sounds good right now is some chicken, green beans, french fries, apple pie, and some orange cruch. it was all fun and games until he started to get in the car. were like hey no you have to stay here. i told him that he couldn't go any were.  and tried to sit him down but he kept trying to get up. i told him he was chained to the floor and couldn't get up. and he was like o i hate it when this happens. i was trying not to bust up laughing. so we had to get some food for him. and this was like 9 o'clock at night.  just a fun night.
we have a baptism on cinco de mio so I'm exited! its going to be good.
but other than that nothing much is going down.
well i love you all so much and i will talk to you on mothers day.
Love you favorite missionary
