Mom,
Congrats on finishing your school work (for the most part)! Im so proud of you! i tell anybody who will listen about your upcomming graduation. Take pics of the party, and send them to me so i wont feel so left out lol.
So your Mini is comming in soon, eh? i bet your ecstatic! i saw one the other day and took a picture of it for you, red and everything.
Nick and Jamie should now be called "the boring ones". geeze lol. Chelsea is better off without Ryan. if he keeps calling her, its a sign that he 1) doesnt want to let go, so the only reason he broke up with her is so he can hook up with other girls and not feel bad, or 2) hes playing games. in either case its a less than savory way to act. "those who live by [drama], die by [drama]".
Im glad that im not home for the remodeling work. im sure id just get in the way.
the Greenalghs are like the coolest people ever. I gave a spiritual message when we were there for dinner, and i was talking about "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also", and i guess it encouraged their kids to give up this video game Runescape that they had been addicted to.
Im still here in North Adams, but Elder Fletcher went to Cambridge (longfellow park 2 ward). Elder Youd is my new companion, and he is way cool. he was just Zone Leader, but hes going home at the end of this transfer so ill probably be in North Adams for 3 more months, which i dont mind at all!
The investigators are doing alright, but the biggest step this week is that Stacey Price and her family have started comming back to church!! im so excited for them!
Crazy story this week: Sister Harrer, this old little lady, asked us to go do so service for her. First thing she asked us to do was to bury her cat that died... she said it was the best of the 400 cats she has had... no joke. 400!!!! i admit, it was hard to keep from laughing. So we burried it ,but she kept on dropping the bag with the cat in it, and it was really nasty how its paws started dropping out and stuff. it was narly. So we said a little prayer and Elder Youd and I debated on whether or not we should dedicate the grave.... just kidding! but, sister harrer did give a little talk about how she would see the cat again at the ressurection. it was kinda sweet. After that, she asked us to spray the wasp nests, but not to kill the wasps... instead she said "i love the little guys, but the get in the house. dont kill them, if they start chasing you just run away...." i was like... uhhh, okay... there is a scripture somewhere that says that poisons wont hurt the Lord's annointed right? overall, this week was full of good service, and great lessons! Veronika should be getting baptized soon, i think we will challenge her next week. thigns are exciting, and we are going to start a home teaching program soon!! woohoo!! Im blessed to be able to see and feel my testimony grow daily. i love my mission, and i love the people! im so glad to be here. thanks for all the love and support. the church is true, no doubt about it.
