April 12th E-mail

Whats up family! How the heck are ya?!?! Well it sounds as if you are doing pretty good. Oh and mom i just thought that 6 weeks wasn't too long to go without shoes.. But don't worry my feet are holding up to it fine. No I'm just kidding. You will never guess how i got the shoes that i am wearing. So I went to a Zone Leader meeting. And there was an elder there that is 6'10" and he wears a size 17 and he came up to me and asked me what size my feet were.. I told him 15 and asked why and he said that his parents had sent him a brand new pair of eccos and that he wore them the last 2 days but they cramped his feet cause they were just a little bit too small.. He told me if they fit me i could have them.. So i tried them on and they fit like a glove! So he gave em to me! Brand new pair of eccos.! So i am walking in style now.. They probably cost his parents close to 200 bucks.. but they are way nice.. You will see them soon enough :D I cant believe you called to find out when my flight comes in. lol! You might be one of the trunkiest moms in the group of missionaries i go home with.. lol.. But ya i am completely fine with just going and getting something to eat.. The only thing i had in mind was to make sure i get released that night.. If not soon after i get home.. lol.. That probably sounds bad. In fact my last few emails full of jokes and pranks probably sound bad too.. But i do want you to know that i am still working hard. We just like to have fun. anyways I was just surprised that no one said much about some well thought out and very well executed pranks.. So i thought that maybe they weren't as appreciated as i thought they would be lol.. But oh well. We found some really cool people this week. We started teaching this one guy named Ken. He met with missionaries in the past. like 4-5 months ago. But just needed some time to think. Well he watched general conference and then told some of his friends that are members of the church that he was really thinking about baptism... So we went over and taught him and he came to church this week! So we are pretty excited about him. Well love ya! Take care of yourselves! hope you have a great week.
