Hey Mom,
I am so freaking pumped for the Super Bowl!!! You
absolutely have to record it with the DVR!!! Please, set the thing to
record the game, and another hour or two extra in case it goes into
overtime. You can send me a package if you want, just full of snacks and
a cool seahawks t-shirt, or even better, one of the new jerseys in XL.
If not, it`s okay. Don`t worry. Just record the game!!!
The area is good. The members are great. We are finding many
investigators to teach. I feel good about dying here, I just don`t know
who is going to kill me. It could be elder Sierra, or it could be
someone else.
Grandma is going to be a great grandma??? that is so cool!!!
Send my congrats to Sara and Brodie.
About money.... How much do I have in my account? I`ve been
waiting to make any major purchases until the next change, but I have
been estimating prices for things. I think that I could buy everything
that I want and things for everyone else for about $350. Is that a lot? I
could try and do it for less. Also, I`ve been thinking about buying a
new pair of shoes. All of my shoes are either broken or breaking, and I
would like a pair to be able to wear home. I can go to the outlet stores
here and buy a pair of hush puppies at a good price. What do you think?
Of course, I would buy a pair of brown shoes. I attached a pic of one
of my pairs of shoes. Either way, just let me know.
The other Pic is of Elder Keller from Ogden and I in an exchange. As you can see, he`s a bronco fan.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. This
past week we also saw that we were in the right place at the right
time. We have a recent convert who suffers from depression and has tried
to commit suicide before. Six months after he was baptized, he broke
the law of chastity and started cohabitating with an investigadora. He
was really depressed recently, and had asked that Jesus take him now.
His pareja pinched us on thursday night, so we went to their house. We
arrived at the same time that she did, and we found our recent convert
basically unresponsive on his bed, with some of his many pills on the
floor. He had tried to commit suicide again. Luckily he was still alive
when we got there, but he was unresponsive and had no control of his
body. His pareja called a radiotaxi, and Elder Sierra and I had to get
this guy down the stairs to the car. So, using the skills that I learned
to get my first aid merit badge, I basically threw him over my
shoulder, and Elder sierra supported his head, and we went down the
stairs to the waiting taxi. With permission from Hermana Essig, we went
with them to the emergency room, where we took him out of the car, put
him in a wheelchair, and then in a hospital bed. It was a neat experience that I will never forget.
Love ya lots, let`s go Hawks!!!
