hello family
so to start off the weather her is bipolar or going through menopause. because we keep getting hot flashes. it like 80 and then it drops down to like 28 so my body is freaking out. it cant adjust to the temperature in time. so its way to hot and then I'm freezing my name tag off. i think I'm good on winter clothing because its not supposed to get that super cold and i think it only snows once a year here. i wished i was in a car area through the winter but if I'm going to be in a bike it might as well be in Texas!
so i guess to start off the week pday we played basketball (how original) i haven't played basketball in like six months so I'm losing my touch. i couldn't hit my butt with both hands. so i ended up messing around the whole time like running with the ball in my shirt and passing to the other team. but i guess thats the way things go. and since elder dalia found out he was leaving, he decided that he wanted to take pictures of everybody in the ward. and all of our investigators. just a big waist of time really. and the other bad thing is that he gave hugs to everybody (witch is against the rules) so now I'm going to have to deal with that when i leave. all of these people now think its OK to hug missionaries.
on Tuesday we ate at this Japanese grill. it was so crazy and good. a member took us out. she is kind of crazy really touchy feely kind of person. like rub your arm when you talk to her. but anyways she took us to this place because it was elder dalias last day in Texas. the chief guy was flip-en stuff around and making fire on our plates and stuff it was more a show than a lunch but the food was good to.
on Wednesday was transfers. they had to leave at about seven in the morning and elder dalia left like half of his crap. like all his underwear. his crazy WWII propaganda stuff. his crazy African sculpture and his uke. so when they left it was just me and elder jones. it was kind of awkward. because we didn't know what to do. so we ended up cleaning the place and rearranging the furniture. the house looked better than it ever had when i was there. we threw away half that crap in the house. like two lazy boys, a desk everything in the fridge and all kind of other crap. we haven't caught any more rats since last week so hopefully we got them all. i just feel bad that we sent them to meet there maker unprepared. but the lord will slay the wicked to bring about his righteous purpose. then we didn't quite know what to do. because we didn't know whether to work in my area or elder jones. we did a mix of both. and everybody fell through. so we just ended up bike ing a lot.
so it got about time that they were supposed to be here. so we called them up to ask were they were and they got lost and went to the wrong apartment. they ended up in Seymour Oklahoma which is about an hour in the wrong direction so needless to say they ended up showing up at our house at like 6pm.
so as soon as they got here they were hungry Lucky we had tons of food in the fridge. because elder dalia asked like ten people if they would feed us on Tuesday so we had a tons of left overs form everything. so elder chatman (elder Jones new comp and my room ate) says o just so you know I'm allergic to gluten. so everything we had in the fridge had gluten in it so we had a fridge full of food and he couldn't have any of it. tho only thing we had was mashed potatoes. and he couldn't even have the gravy.
so my new comp his name is elder pugmire. he is from west Jordan Utah, he is about six foot a buck ten. and black hair. he probably doesn't have a pound of fat on his body. just skin and bones like no joke. he does track so he had to be super skinny. but he doesn't have any muscle on him ether. he has been on the mission for about three months so he is still green as can be. he is a Spanish missionary so we have to do language study every morning and i only know one hundred words in Spanish max. he has the gift of tongues though. because elder chatman has been out about a year and elder pugmire can speak better Spanish than him. he is a full blood Aggie so you should like that.
so we have been knocking doors a lot something i haven't done in three months so it was really good for me. we have been working in a Hispanic part of town. so every other person we talk to doesn't speak any English. its kind of frustrating because i can only understand half of what there saying and i can only say hello and nice to meet you and i have a black shirt. but the lord can help me though it.
so we have been working with this girl she is Mexican but she speaks more English than Spanish. and on Thursday we committed her to baptism on December 15th so if all of these dates go through we should have three baptisms in a month. we have to explain alot of the book of Mormon to her when we read because she doesn't understand religion at all. we had to explain Jesus and the atonement and bible and the house of Israel. just lots and lots of stuff. its good because at least she is asking questions.
O and i found my memory card! so i lost it at the other elders apartment and i thought i drop ed it on the ground outside or something but it ended up being in there couch. they found it when it tipped over because it was going to be thrown away. and it fell out of the bottom. really really really sweet i am so happy that it was recovered. i thank my heavenly father every day because what matters to us matters do him. and he is all ways looking out for us even it is something as small as a memory card.
Idk thats about it for this week sorry i emailed to day instead of yesterday the library was closed.
thank you so much for emailing me this week. like no joke i love to read whats going on with your lives. and everybody else has a ton of emails so i if don't have emails to read it can just get super boring waiting for everyone else to finish.
well i love you so much and i will talk to you next week!
