To Dad: Sounds like a great get together. I definitely miss all those. But I’ll be able to enjoy them again in just over a year. I’m really excited for my birthday. There are a couple of families here that are throwing me a birthday party. I’m going out to the Bs who are the less active family I talked about in my big email. I’m going to the H’s and actually I have an interview with President at 11 on my birthday because our president interviews happen to fall on my birthday. haha and then a family is throwing me a little party on Saturday. I’m pretty excited for my Birthday. I got the package but we weren’t home to get it so it’s at the post office and I’ll be going to pick it up in about an hour. I’m kind of glad I get to spend my Birthday here in B because I’ve been here for so long it’s almost like a second home. haha There is a family that is moving out this week and they have only been here a little less than a year and I was talking to them about it and they were joking with me saying that I had been here almost the entire time they had and to them I was just basically part of the ward haha funny how things like that happen. I’ve actually been here so long that I’ve been in the V zone the longest out of the other missionaries. I’ve seen a complete change in the zone haha its pretty weird but I only have about 2 1/2 more weeks here then I’ll get out before it gets to hot! It’s already getting pretty bad. Anyways I love you tons and miss you so much!
To Mom: Well this was a good week in some points and not so good in others. I didn’t get an email off yesterday because I ended up being pretty sick with who knows what. I’m not sure if it was a sickness or just a headache or what but about 2 yesterday my head started to hurt so I took some ibuprohpine and that didn’t even help. It was a headache right behind my eyes and it hurt super bad. I couldn’t bend over or anything and it was making me feel like I was going to throw up. It was no fun so I ended up sleeping a lot yesterday and now this morning it is almost gone but still hurts when I bend over to pick things up.
Well today it is supposed to be 111'. It’s going to be craazzzyyy. Well let’s see for this last week not a whole lot happened Monday or Tuesday. Our car battery died on Tuesday but some very kind guy came and jumped our car and it worked fine after that. Wednesday was the 4th and we organized volleyball at the church from 10-1 with the Samoans. We had a really good turn out and had a ton of fun. Oh we also had a great surprise of waking up to rain outside! That was just awesome! We then went and visited a less active and went out to an appointment that fell through so we went and visited the H’s and had a great lesson there and the spirit was really strong. Then we went to dinner which was a BBQ outside and right as we got there it started to POUR down rain and there was lightning and thunder! It was super awesome. Only lasted about 45 minutes but it was great!
Now the rest of the week we don’t even know what happened. We had SOOO many appointments set up that are usually good solid appointments but they alllll fell through except a couple! It was really frustrating. Friday was the worst. We had so many appointments that we didn’t even have time for lunch. Well only one of our appointments actually went through and it was with the L family. We only taught Sister L and J the 11 year old again but we got to visit with J and G for a little while. We taught a good lesson about going to church and why it’s so important even if it can sometimes be boring when you’re younger. It was a great lesson and wasn’t even what we planned on teaching. The spirit was really strong and Sister L is always so happy when we come by.
So something interesting happened on Friday. One of our roommates Elder G got hit by a truck. He is completely fine. Not even a scrape. But his companion who didn’t even hit the truck crashed his bike right after and got all cut up haha. It was a pretty funny story. So Elder R went through an intersection where a truck was stopped and as soon as he went through she started to creep up to see around the corner and Elder G and her met haha its still undecided how it happened because I’ve heard about 9 different stories about either G hit her or she hit G but anyways Elder R had turned around to warn his companion and saw him get hit so he slammed on his brakes and he crashed his bike and his hands, elbow and knee got all cut up. He was pretty mad at his companion because he didn’t even get hit by a car but he was hurt worse. It was a pretty funny thing afterwards when we knew everyone was alright. Saturday went okay and we were able to see a few less actives and work with them. We have one lady who is like a second mom out here who we are working with helping her come back to church full time. Her daughter is 8 and is getting baptized soon and her other daughter got baptized a year ago and her husband is not a member but we have gotten to be pretty close with this family and on Sunday ALL of them came! Even her husband and she told us after that she didn’t even have to ask him he just said he wanted to come! It was really cool. But yea kind of a bummer week. I love you all tons! This is the last time you will hear from your 19 year old son. Next time I write I won’t be a teenager anymore!
