So evidentally I just hit the 6 month mark. Wow that is crazy. I can't even believe how fast the time has gone. It scares me a little bit, to tell you the truth. But its all good. Things are pretty good here. We are kinda hurting for investigators right now and we have transfers on Monday, so I think that the goal at this point is to leave the area with a good foundation for the next Elders. I kinda have a feeling that I will be getting transferred since I've already been here for a good 4 months, but we'll see. I think that the highlight of this last week was the interviews with President Bowen. That dude is so cool. I love the crap out of him. I told him that I was feeling a little frustrated with myself because I have set such high expectations for myself, especially with the language and he gave me some really interesting advice. He told me to drop just enough of the anger that comes with the frustration so that I can have the Spirit to be with me, and then to take out the rest of the anger on my grammar book. So that was really cool advice and it really helps too. I find the studying to be really soothing and a lot more productive. And I received multiple compliments on the Spanish from nearly everyone in the ward. Some members told me that I speak better Spanish than some Elders who have been out for over a year. So that was really cool. So now we just have to start getting some people in the water.

I am trying not to hassle you too much about money, but I am curious
about your Sports Authority purchase.

I don't want to admit it, but I bought a Shake Weight. haha oh man. serious buyer's remorse right there. I'll have to get you back on that one.

Something funny that happened this week

.

3 good things about the week.

I can't really remember. I always freeze up right when I get the computer haha. I'm sure there were plenty of good things.

How is life with Elder S.?

Its alright, he is as stiff as a board, but I got him to loosen up quite a bit, so its actually pretty fun.

How were the contacts this week?

Lazy, unfortunately.

Are you feeling less tired? I had another thought about that. Make
sure you are eating enough. Maybe you need to take a daily vitamin.

I think I'm eating too much actually.

What kinds of things have you been cooking?

Eggs, over easy. I'm been doing a lot better with working out (thanks to the shake weight haha) so i'm starting to get semi-healthy.

I want to get you two a food card this week. Where is a place
convenient for you?

Anywhere, I'm probably going to get transferred on Monday so hopefully I'll go to a place that actually has real restaurants haha.
