2 x 2/22
hey mom!
sounds like things are exciting. im glad to hear about your schooling and work endeavors. i know those RNs are really going to help. one of the innactives we are working with is a Nurse.
i felt reallllyy home sick for the first few days, it was terrible. the president called tho, and i talked with him and ever since then ive been feeling really good. everything just feels stagnant. there is no today or tommrow, its just one long continuous work day.
mmm guacamole... the ward mission leader took us to lunch yesterday and we had Thai food. it was amazing to have somthing not N.Eish. guess he would be the one to take us there, since he is the only member that isnt a weirdo massachussian.
Dont go to boston much. we are given 1300 miles a transfer (6 weeks), and Boston is about 200 miles away. We spend most of our P-Days down in pittsfield with the DL and his comp, Elder Farr and Elder Johnson. we play Magic The Gathering lol, its funny. sometimes we will go to Amherst to play B-Ball, but thats also pretty far.
most of the work is done in N.Adams. our area is pretty large, and so much work to do. we dont go out of N.Adams very much, except into williamstown which is the Nice party of the Berkshires.
I cant wait to hear about Mark. ive been thinking about him alot lately, i hope everything go through. let me know right away.
well. ill write a longer letter in a minute, im gonna check the rest of my emails.
Hey Fam!
Wow, dont have long to write (6 minutes), lets see how i do!
well, i had no idea about the outside world. that was evident when i discovered that 1, it was the olympics, 2 it was valentines day and 3, it was presidents day, and 4, there was teh superbowl lol.
The other day kinda sucked. Elder Flethcher was sick, and when i was studying i ripped my suit pants when sitting down into a chair!! the arm thing caught my pants and RIP! it sucked, but my super uber sewing prowess allowed me to sew it up like new! you would be proud mom.
I spent alot of that day reading and studying with study guides about the scriptures. but at one point i was so bored, that i started learning to write and speak hewbrew names by using the bible dictionary as a guide. it was awesome. dude, my RPG names will rock from now on.
P-Days are cool. spend them witht eh DL and his companion elder Farr and Johnson. we play Magic the Gathering all day lol, its sweeet and geekishly cool.
We had an investigator who was really interested the other day, but then rejected us when we came back for the next appointment! it was just like "we arnt interested anymore"... kinda sucks, but wahtever. the lord will bless us. we had 2 runnins with some Born Agains... its frustrating because they asked us to pray to knwn that our church wasnt true. when we asked how we would know, they couldnte even describe how you can know the truth!!! i was so tempted to bash em wih the discrpensies of the bible, but i though that wouldnt bee too great.
other than that things are going well, i have 2 minutes left on the computer, and im sorry that this message sucks, but there was alot to write lol! next week itll be better, i swear. well i miss ya guys, i hope all is well! love ya
