October 6th E-mail

Well that sucks that highland lost but I think you guys can win the next 3 games for sure! Just tell those hosers to suck it up! lol That's so funny that someone put on my blog that I shouldn't be blogging.. lol hrrrrp what hosers... Tell them that if they really want me to get the comment they are going to have to write me a letter cause I don't check the blog lol! I just do it with my mind... hrrrp :D

So we had an interesting day on Tuesday... we went on exchanges with the elders in mead. I was with elder Hullinger and he is just one of the most unique kids you will ever meet. I cant even really explain it but for instance he doesn't use tooth paste to brush his teeth he uses tooth powder... and its made from like tree barks and different herbs and things lol! His mom is a hippy and his dad is a red neck... so you can just imagine! :D But ya so we are teaching a lesson and we had just got out of district meeting where we were trained on how to begin lessons. In fact we drove from district meeting to the lesson and the first thing you do is remove distractions. Well we go into the lesson and the TV is on and what not and we small talk for a minute and then he starts asking her about her reading and goes right into the scriptures. I was like wait can we turn that off and have a prayer? He was like oh thanks for remembering... then we go to another lesson and we teach the plan of salvation and we would go back and forth in our teaching but he would just lay the doctrine out there and then hand it over to me. I would back track a little and ask questions to make sure she was getting it and so after the lesson he tells me hey thanks for remembering to ask questions. So then we go to the gas station to get some finger nail clippers for him... and he goes in there and picks them out and puts them in his pocket and we both walk out... and we get to the car and I go so did you pay for those? He goes oh crap! and runs in and it was so freaking funny. The guy was telling a missionary hey thanks for being honest I really appreciate it. I was laughing so hard! Then he was like thanks for remembering that.. lol he was just having a rough day. It was hilarious!

So then we get home for lunch and this members son comes running out of the bathroom and is like call 911!!! Then he goes and lays at the top of the stairs. So we call 911 and what not and we are both standing at the bottom of the stairs and he yells oh crap and grabs his stomach and starts coming down the stairs and we both take off running cause we don't want to get puked on.. and so the ambulance shows up and he thought it was cause he was diabetic but they checked his blood sugar and it was fine. They were asked him are you on any drugs or anything and he says no i just smoked a little weed this morning for my foot to get rid of the pain. I guess he has a gun shot wound to his leg or something that happened a while ago. But it was funny cause they are like did you smoke more than normal? Nope... Did you smoke weed that you aren't familiar with? Nope.. So its yours? yep... lol And this is all took place in a members house that the missionaries live at! LOL!!! What a hoser. But ya so that was a very interesting day!

I hope you guys watched conference! If not you missed out and you need to repent! It was awesome! We got investigators there and everything! So there is good and bad news to this call that we got for transfers... the good news is we are both staying... the bad news is that they are taking our car away!!! Right as the weather is getting cold! We are going to have to share a car with Indian trail elders. We live like 6 miles apart... lol so it will be interesting. But I am staying and hopefully we are going to baptize a couple!! We started teaching a brand new couple this week (unmarried again) but they seemed really interested. So things are going very well in this area. Today is my last day with my bu! (Malibu that is) but I call her my bu! :( I don't know how the car sharing thing is going to work out but we are going to plan it out today so I will let you know how it all works out.

I hope you guys are doing well! Keep up the good work and the scripture study! I love you guys a ton! Take care of yourselves!

So Elder P is staying put for now...that's okay. But it stinks that his "bu" will have to be shared! Maybe they will walk or bike alot more now. Wow--he's been out almost 5 months now!!!

I think the weed conversation was my favorite part of this letter... not a conversation you hear everyday on your mission... or any other time for that matter =)

... Although, the smell of weed reminds Tyler of his mission so that has always been funny to me. He served in Amsterdam though so that's what you get I guess lol.

Jared loved the Malibu that he drove while he was on his mission, So I can see why Ryan's sad to give up his "bu."
