starting with questions:
Where is the/your graphing calculator? (You do
have one, right??)
I did
have one for that class with Mr. Zurla. I have no idea where it would be though.
I hope you find it. I thought he was a great teacher, and the class was not
hard
Where
do you usually do your e-mailing? (like, the library, someone’s
house?)
The family history center in
the church
Tell us
what you are doing today for fun!
Today we're playing
football with the YM because they can't do it saturday (they have a service
project) and they have school starting soon. We also played last week, we bought
a football and flags and everything. It was fun but we actually had too many
people/too many youngsters. no injuries or anger, so it was good.
I'll write about yesterday in a sec
How is
doing your laundry? Any issues?
good. no issues. I just do it
in our apartment whenever I need too.
How
about your shoes; how do your feet feel at the end of the
day?
shoes
are bueno. feet feel bueno.
Are you
wearing your retainer?
I wear
it every night. A few weeks ago I forgot a few times and then my teeth were very
sore when I started wearing them again. Just last week someone told me they
could tell I had braces
Flossing your teeth?
maybe
50% of the time. I'll try and be better. Also I've been not doing great at
writing in my journal. It seems like there's no time to do anything in the end
of the day
Did you
have a dinner appt yesterday/fast Sunday? If yes, what did you
eat?
yes we
had a dinner appt, but then they canceled :( We ate in the apartment. I opened a
can of beans, but some of that on a tortilla with rice (leftovers) and chicken
that Elder Beck grilled and microwaved it for a very yummy burrito. Then i was
still hungry so I ate a 2nd one.
Sunday and Monday were
both very different days for us. On Sunday we went to sacrament meeting, then
drove 2.5 hours to Connecticut to Elder Beck could baptize someone he taught in
his old area.
Yesterday we woke up
got ready and left at 6:45 to go to the temple. The missionaries were invited
because it was a holiday. Brother Alder, (who works for Stark Industries like
Christopher) took us. It was great, I'm glad I've now been in the Boston Temple.
When we got back we had to dash off to a members birthday party we were invited
too, then go to a member's grill party thing they wanted us to go
too.
Everything is still
going well, but i'm still definitely adjusting to the new companionship,
I'm definitely learning a lot from having to take lead a lot, but i don't feel
like I'm being trained anymore, when really I am still a new greenie and have so
much more I need to learn. My two companions are very opposite in a lot of
ways.
I very greatly enjoyed
getting everyone's FF team in the draft. If there was time I would have written
up my analysis/rankings. I remember thinking Dad's team was one of the best and
he would win 1st place because he gets a boost from having the most people from
his favorite team AND the MVP runningback. I think Steven's team might have been
2nd except that he'll be cursed for having no Colts. It's hard to remember what
I thought when I looked over it. I think Mom got an A for effort, but also had 1
player i really don't like. does she have Sir Issac Cam Newton? (he'll be the
biggest bust). Now I remember who I really ranked #1. The Waver Wire. How did
none of you guys draft Tim Tebow! I thought for sure Christopher would give him
a try.
Another interesting football
thing: My bishop's neighbor works for The Patriots as their chief film guy! Mr.
Spygate! supposedly he wasn't really involved though. He has SB rings for all
the times they've won and everything. I hope I get a chance to talk to
him.
I love all the bad eyesight
stories I get. always very funny.
I hope everything goes will
with christopher and his dogs, I forgot they were old enough to have little
puppies already (chonchitos?). I have to say, I'm a little bit worried though,
the last things I've heard about Christopher were that he wears tight pants and
then he dropped out of school. This is not a good trend.
So Josh is off to Idaho today
then, that's kind of crazy. Good luck to him!
Happy birthday to Jayna! I
can't believe she's already 1. she'll be nearly 2 when I see her next. that's
crazy
One really great thing here
is that we have been teaching a lot of lessons, and we've had some really great
ones recently. It's very interesting to see the things I've taken for granted my
entire life to really have a profound impact on someone. We just taught the
Restoration to this guy named Phil, he's actually roommates with another family
we teach. He has tattoos and big gauges in his ears and everything, but he is
really sincere about investigating the church. He recognizes the direction it
can give him in his life. He's been a part of other churches before, but hasn't
been able to stick with them. What really made the lesson great was when we read
Moroni's Promise to him, it made so much sense that what he needs to do is read
(show faith) and ask God what to do and which church to join. I think one thing
that's special about the Joseph Smith story is that it relates so well with
everyone we teach.
that's about everything. Love
you all!
