| Oh my goodness! I opened up my package and I had a bunch of letters from friends/family! Best part of the package! Thank y'all for all the birthday wishes and encouragement! I love y'all! |
Sorry this email might be a little shorter, we had a big
zone activity today all the way on the other side of the zone, so traveling
back home takes forever. We did the activity at Bo's. We paid 9 bucks and got
to do unlimited bowling and laser tag for three hours. It was pretty fun. The
laser tag equipment was pretty crappy and didn't work half the time, and I
really stink at bowling, but we had a lot of fun anyways.
This week was a blur.
I can't believe it is already August! June and July flew past. This week was
full of biking and sweating profusely. I have never sweat so much in my entire
life. The humidity is crazy. I am so glad we have the car next week. I think
bike week has worn me out pretty good.
Wednesday we had district meeting, that was
good. We are working on memorizing the 42 principles in the Preach My Gospel
lessons as well as the baptismal interview questions and scriptures for each of
the 42 principles. This last week Elder Garrett and I got really far. I almost
have everything memorized. On Thursday we mowed some inactive lady's yard for
her. Well, Elder Garrett mowed and I talked to the lady. We were able to do
service at the soup kitchen twice this week. On Thursday when we did it, the
power went out to the entire city. Since the meals in the oven weren't done, we
just made sack lunches and handed them out. It mixed things up a bit.
Friday we
biked all around Timbuktu and didn't talk to barely anybody, just sweated a
whole bunch. I got a birthday package though and that made my day! There were
so many goodies and awesome cards. It was awesome. I was pretty sick on
Saturday so that stunk, but Sunday was great. We had a linger longer after
church in the Ward, and the Ward mission leader told everyone about my birthday
and so everyone sang for me. The Sisters got me a gift and a nice card. They
are awesome sisters. That night we had dinner with the Vues, and the Sisters
had told them that it was my birthday, so the Vues had a cake for me and a gift.
They got me some socks and a tie . . . pretty awesome.
Well, I had a great birthday,
sorry the email is so short this week. Love y'all!
