hi family.

did you know that little streams talk? they say give away.

well this week was great.  lots of working hard. me and elder platt are riding bikes everyday because he hast to practice. if im not careful i leave him in the dust in a matter of seconds. because he is slow and doesn't know how to shift gears. he will probably be in a bike area next transfer. but it will be good for him. well i know that im not training next transfer. so i wont be with the hatch kids friend or who ever he is. but that's ok my sons will come eventually. (when you train a greeny you call him your son on the mission)

so its crazy i think elder platt has multiple personality's.  because he has this hyper side where is funny and just full of piss and vinegar. and then he can be mope and sad. its kind of weird. i dont really know what to do with him. were not really honest in our relationship. and i dont know what to do about it. like i can tell there are things bugging him about me but when i ask him he says o your fine. like when i was with elder shupe when things pissed us off we just told each other right on the spot. no need for bottling it up. but now he wont tell me what he is concerned about. he is a really reserved kind of guy. and i think its because of his former companion. (not kiel but the one before that) he all ways talks about this one companion in a negative way. and how this one comp shot him down all the time. but if you had any suggestions on comp unity that would be great!

Ok i forgot to tell you last week! or i wasn't allowed to tell you. so the other elders in our district  got jumped! there in anadarko its this small town really ghetto. but like i never would have thought that they could have got robbed. so here is the story. they were on there bikes, and some guy called him over to them. (they all felt like it could be bad about talking to him but none of them listened To the Holy Ghost) so they went over. and the guy was telling him he was a Christan and then he asked if they had any money. they said no. then he pulled out a knife, and demanded 20 bucks. they told him that they didnt have any cash on them. so the guy told him to fork over the watches. and then took one of there bikes. they gave him what he wanted. because the official mission policy is just give them what they want. and then they booked it out of there. then the guy shouted at them that if they call the cops he will get his friends and muff them up. they were pretty scared about the whole deal. but they called the cops and now there looking for this guy. they got two of the watches back but there still missing a bike and a $20 watch. its kind of scary but the Lord will protect them. if they listen. so earlier this week they stayed at our place for two days. but then Pres told them they could go back to there own area.

after that i went to anadarko on exchanges. and elder guinto stayed in my place. they told me that the house they live in was a little messy. but crap that was an under statement. this house was DISGUSTING!!! like i have been in some bad houses before. like hoarder Lady's with lots of cats. and smoker/drug houses. but this house was like the worst. there was crap everywhere. (not poop, just there stuff) just old food lying around the house. McDonald's wrap er just scatted from heck to breakfast. mustard stains on the floor. and someone cut there hair in the middle of the kitchen and didnt clean it up. like any normal person would have died living there. (and you wouldn't even be able to tell) so there like lets go track ting! and im like lets clean up this bloody pigs sti. so we spent the next four hours cleaning. i took over kitchen duty. because i didnt know were all there stuff went. there was dishes just piled up like dirty caked on nasty ness every were. then i got some of the dishes clean and went to put them away. and there dishes in the cupbord were just as dirty. so i had to take all the dishes out and clean the cupboard and then put them all back. wow lets just say i will never do that again.

then dont even get me started on how old the food was in the fridge.

the rest of the week was good lots of work getting done. two girls wanted get baptized so we are working with them,  we got seven new investigators this week. and things are going swell

well i have to get off because these computer suck and they only give you 1 hour to email

i love you so much
