Hey whats going on!!
My new companion's name is Elder Walker and he
is from Logan Utah, he really likes the protein shakes and gaining muscle a lot
and "pumping irons". I should have taken a picture of the stuff he
had, because of the 17 months he has been out on a mission, he hasn't sent
anything home... it was awesome!! We stuffed the trunk of the car and the back
seats with his suitcases and boxes. Its cool to see it all. There are many
things I like about my new companion but one that I can think off the top of my
head is probably that he is really involved in the stuff he sets his mind to. That
I think is an amazing trait to have. My companion likes pasta, but kind of
likes protein shakes more. He also gave
me a blessing and in that blessing apparently I am overstressed and that is why
I am feeling sick, don't feel overstressed but “whatevs” . Guess I am? Who
knows...

The people that we are teaching that are not members of the
church but are interested in joining and learning are Leon T., Jainlys S., and
Christine C.
They all love having the missionaries over and we love teaching them
and discussing with them about Jesus Christ and His teachings. There are two
people that we had committed to baptism, but one picked up 3 jobs (making it a
total of 4) and has barely any time to even sleep, so we haven't been able to
get in contact with her in a week or two, the other I think just doesn't really
want to tell us to our face they don't want to meet anymore because they said
that they had moved to a different address and that address is the local
graveyard... we hope he isn't dead.... we are looking more into that today to
check up on 'em.
So this past week I have been very sick so Wednesday night through
Sunday morning we didn't really go outa the house cuz I threw up Wednesday
night after having some super good buffalo wild wings chicken wings (which I
still don't regret, it was delicious) and Thursday night we measured my fever
and it was like 100.1 so we're like... "ahh guess we can't go out tomorrow
really" and it was the worst days that I will probably have on the mission
for the sole reason that we just stayed indoors and studied. We went outside to
a park on Saturday so that I could get some fresh air because the apartment we
have is kind of small and we just needed to be outside.
The weather has been about as up and down as my temperature (but its
fine now) so Thursday it snowed, Friday it rained at 50 degrees, Saturday it
snowed a bit and Sunday it rained and froze over to create black ice so Sunday
we only had church for Sacrament (Meeting the first hour) because the roads
were so sketch.
Lately I have been reading the new testament and highlighting
every time Jesus says "my Father" and references the Father in
Heaven and reading through the first two gospels in a day (Matthew and Mark) I’ve
found he says it a lot.
Wednesday evening we set up for a ward event and had some classic Wal-Mart
hotdogs (I had 4... and I think that’s what started my illness, the coconut
cake on Thursday night didn't help all that much either now that I think about
it... ahh well, it was worth it).
Life is good, the members heard I was sick so they called us every
day to see how I was doing and offered to get us anything we asked, so we told
them people that we can teach when I am better, and they all laughed and said
they'd work on it.
