July 28, 2014





This week was alright.  the work was really slow.  it started to rain a ton, and actually got pretty cold.  everything tends to slow down a ton with rain. rain here is like snow for us, everyone stops, ha.  i havent seen rain in quite a while!!! it was cold enough that you could see your own breath and my comp thought it was the craziest thing!    he hasnt stopped commenting it the past 3 days.ha
thanks for the scripture, i will certainly apply it.

we have found a ton of families, but no one is married because to get married here is a very complex and expensive pprocesses, especially in this city.  we found one couple that went to church and is great, they want to get married, and their might be a few things we can do to speed up the process. we have one guy thats awesome, looks like an actor, but he traveled and wont be back for a while. so we are looking for more people

My comp is great. he eats a ton. i remember when bryson wrote in an email that he is great at finding faults in everyone and didnt know how it is possible to live with another person forever.or something like that.ha....thats how i feel.  Sometimes i cant take it and i lose it, and i get frustrated with myself after because i lose the spirit when this happens. but im really trying to aquire the christlike attributes. PMG chapt 6 fooo lifeee!!! 

alrught i´ll be honest about my knee, it is gettin better, these new shoes are helping a ton, theirs still a bit of pain but not as much as before, these past months it was killing me a ton , somedays i was hardly walking, i prayed a ton to know what i should do, and sincerely thought about the options, if i should call pres or not. but i felt really strongly to just keep going and that all  would be okay. i had no idea how, because i tried everything, brace,ice,ibuprofen,strecthes,excersizes, everything! one day i had an idea to buy new shoes, my others are kinda warn out, but could survive another 6 months, so i didnt really understand, but i had a really strong impression to buy new ones. i think it was the spirit yelling at me, sometimes he has to yell to get his mesage through my thick skull. i did, and i felt the biggest difference. i think now, i just need to be really carefeul and let it heal. im so grateful for the opportunity to still be here, its tough, but im glad to be here. Miracles are real.

and still i havent gotten my box :(

Thats great for the kids that they went to the temple! im super prooud of jake! dude,i play football because i love it. you dont have to play football, i think you would tear it up as a qb or rb and maybe LB if you would let your mind enjoy the game. but if you dont like it, you dont have to do it, i didnt wrestle because of my mind, one of the biggest regrets of my life to tell the truth.  so think about it!. but in the end, do what you love bro!

well i love you guys! have a great week!
