I had a sweet week last week. there were lots of fun adventures.
as
you can see i think i out did last years birthday cake. the big 20.
earlier we celebrated the day by going tracting. we met some pretty
interesting people. we helped one old guy put his licence plate back on
his truck. he talked to us for about an hour. he has a ton of religious
books. he likes to collect them. reading them is another story i think.
none of them looked used. there was really no mean people on the street,
which was really surprising. usually there is that one guy that is
soooooooo offended that two dirty little mormon boys happened to darken
his porch that it is funny to watch his reaction.
so
we helped out this person in the second ward last week. she wanted the
other elders to help put in cabnet shelf liners. they wanted to hurry
and get it over with because they are kind of weird. so we go to the
appartment and the member is pulling out food from her cabnet and
butting it in bags. she was kind of struggling with it and so Elder G and
i took over and started doing it for her. now keep in mind that there
is bug crap all over the walls of the cabnet and what should have been a
white shelf was yellow. that should have been a warning flag for us.
but we continued and we got to the top shelf and Elder G pulled a mustard
out and on it was 5 roaches. and there was like 6 more that scattered
out from behind it. now the appartment was clean. it looked vaccumed and
neat but this was discusting. we finnished cleanning out the food. and
we asked her if there was bug spray and she gave us an old rusty empty
can. we couldnt do much with it so Elder R and I went to the
dollar general and bought lysol wipes and roach spray. we started
spraying in there and from behind every little crack the roaches came
out and started running everywhere. 
i
used that entire spray. it was discusting. she ,the member, got mad at
us that we went out and bought new spray when she "had some". no, no she
didnt. then we offered to clean up all the dead roaches and she just
said no. just put the mats on top and call it good. i tried to tell her
no give me your vaccume so we can suck it up and clean it up for you.
and all she said was" just but the mats over it and it will be good"
after a little convincing she gave us a broom. but i was soo mad at her.
then we went home and i took a shower.
there
was no other crazy stories for this week. our investigator that we have
is progressing really well. he comes to church every week and loves it.
he told us yeaterday that he was exited it was sunday. it is his
highlight because of how he feels afterward.so greatfull for the spirit.
i love the cubs shirt. it is so awesome. i think my favorite is the
shoes. i had a hunch that they were waiting for me. i love them so much.
the other elders are jealous. elder G*** surprised me. he took me to a
soccer shop and bought me a jersey and put my name on it. it is the one
in the pictures. i will have to do something special for him this next
two weeks. i was already trying to think of something that i could do
for him, but now i need to step up my game. any ideas?
i got your letter finally on Saturday and i also got grandma Jorgensen's and Christy's.
it has been really warm down here too. we are like 65 right now.
sweet
i get a nice new bed. i hate the one here. i already
flipped it over and turned it around, but it still sucks. i have even
sometimes just slept on our couch. our couch is really comfy.
ok love y'all and have a great week.
