Hey Everybody! How are you doing today? So its been an interesting week... actually its been a really bad week. Except for being able to see Brian for a little while. Other then that every single appointment that we had fell through except for 2. So we had a really rough week. We did find a new investigator this last week thats pretty solid but the only thing is she is very sick all the time. So thats really the only downfall she has alot of ups and downs so us meeting with her kind of varies. She said that she wants to be baptized so that will be interesting within the next couple of weeks. We do have a baptism coming up on the 29th now so hopefully that will go through he has some word of wisdom problems but hes pretty committed so that should help out alot. Oh before i forget the place that we get food really cheap is ALIDI's i think thats how you spell it. Something to that kind of effect. But its just knockoff brands but they are really cheap and taste the same as the normal stuff so thats been a blessing since i have to pay for laundry. I was hoping to avoid that my entire mission but i guess not. The district is spliting this week so everybody that i have in my district wont be in my district anymore. It will be us and 2 other elders in our district and i just found out that we might be losing the car soon. Which i don't like becasue that would mean lots of biking in the wind which i'm not looking forward too. Its been really windy here the last 2 weeks. My companion and i are getting along ok. Were 2 different personalities kind of put together. So its been a long week i feel like i know the area better then he does and hes been here for 2 months. And hes starting to get on my nerves with alot of things so thats not good but i can handle 6 weeks i'm just hoping that its not longer then that. If it is then i might have some problems. It was really good to see Brian on saturday. And Ernie was really funny i guess he moved really close to their house so thats pretty funny. Yeah i need some new slacks i will look around and see if i can find a suit store or something... i'll see what i can work out. There isn't a mall thats close in our area its about 15 miles away so its a stretch going there especially on pday my companion wouldn't like that at all so i'll look around here. The trophey is pretty sweet, but don't worry jerilyn because i will win it next year and take it off your hands. Yeah we live right next to the leasing office and the pool, which is going to be so hard when the heat of the summer is here. (Jacob brought up Tayor's house on his i-pod) Did he see the road work outside on the road. Well thats been a pain because we can't go in the normal entrance we have to go to another one and go all the way around and back to get to our apartment, kind of a pain i'm hoping they finish it soon, but from what i hear they have been working on that for 2 years so i guess my wish won't come true. I loved the videos of you guys on Brian's phone that was pretty funny. He tried to do one of me but he couldn't send one. (I told Taylor I am making a list of all available girls for hima s soon as he gets home)This list you have is pretty funny... whos on it out of curiousity? Well i have to go i only have an hour to do this now so thats alot to do in an hour i'll talk to you guys later! Have a good week, Pray that ours will be better! Love ya guys Elder Downs
