Better Late than Never!

well hello? how are you both doing eh?? sounds like your pretty busy out goofing around shopping and golfing all the time... i feel so bad for you! :D jk lol wow so sorry we didnt get a chance to email yesterday... it was nuts we went to help pour concrete in a garage for the same member that we bucked the hay for and anyways they poured it on just dirt...and they wet it down before like just a little bit kinda like how you would wet down a baseball field and then poured on top of it with the sun beating on half of it and so the dirt sucked the moisture out of it from one side and the sun from the other and it was freaking dry in like 25-30 minutes! it was nuts so because of that we had to try to finish it by hand and smooth it out a little but it wasnt freaking working... i mean we were walking out onto it and rewetting it to smooth it out.. you should be able to walk on it! lol so our little 2 hour project turned into like 4 and a half.... ya it freaking sucked but then we had just enough time to go home show and change to go play golf with a guy who lives in elder clyde's last area and ya so then after that we barely made it in enough time to our dinner appointment and then it was too late to email after that since we ate dinner at like 7 and then they wanted to play a game called righteuos its like the BoM version of scene it... its pretty fun! it was Elder Clyde's birthday yesterday. Monday. and so i swear the last 4 or 5 days we have had cake! they even announced it in relief society as an offical announcement and so the whole freaking ward knew about it and so they tried to get us as fat as they could and i freaking gained 5 lbs no joke! so i am on a diet! so mom hold off on sending me cookies please :D lol! well ya so yesterday was crazy! but anyways the work is going great! we have a baptism this friday. its a 79 year old man and he is going to die soon! he is in really bad shape and has been prolonging his baptism for a while i guess he was on date in april but has been moving it back but he is scared he is going to die before but anyways his family came into town (which is what he was waiting for) and they arent members but hopefully they will support him in his decision... but i wouldnt be surprised if he died a few weeks after the baptism... and then last week we started teaching a girl named Trena she is like 37 years old (she claims anyways i think she is like 50) but we put her on date for the next week so the 26th i believe... but ya so things are going good and hopefully we will get one more this month! our area rocks! i love the people here! they are so great! we were riding our bikes the other day and a car drove by and threw pennies at us and they hit my comps bike and so we stopped and picked em up and kept them! :D lol we were like hey thanks.. well transfer calls were on saturday and we both survived! im staying! can you believe its already been 1 transfer?!?!? only 16 more to go :D HAHAHA! but ya now Elder Clyde is district leader and so he is going to be sending me out on exchanges twice a week! lame!!! but oh well that exchanges arent that bad.. plus i can beat up on the old farts.. or the apostate missionaries! lol anyways!
