I had fish and chips this week! It was actually really good! No fishy taste at all! We ate almost that whole pile! A member brought us that for dinner!
That is CRAZY about Julie's mission call. [Mary's best friend got called to Tokyo, Japan, same as Ryan's friend Jaron] They know each other right? I am thinking that Joe and Jared used to hang out with Trevon.
Thanks for the update on General Conference. I downloaded the talks on a flash drive so that we can watch them before we go to bed! But we will be watching the priesthood session Wednesday night, and then Saturday and Sunday, we will watch back to back sessions for 4 hours straight! (that is going to be hard to sit that long)
Not much to report this week ... It has been raining a lot and it is so much fun riding a bike in the rain! And it is starting to get cold!!! In the next package could you please send me some thermals and some warm socks! I am probably going to buy a nicer rain jacket. The one I have is fine when it has the liner in it, but without the liner, the jacket is HUMONGOUS! My companion found a rain jacket for $20, so I am going to look for one like his.
The coolest thing that happened this week.... Do you remember me talking about a guy a while ago that we stopped by with with the Bishop and he had just got off the phone with his mother and she had told him to call the missionaries because he was having a rough time? Well, yesterday we were walking around to members houses (not a normal Sunday thing - the walking and visiting members) because we had an hour between dinner and church and we walked by his house and saw his car in front of his wife's hours (not normal) so we knocked on the door to see if he was there. He answers the door and lets us in! We start talking to him and he said it was really weird you guys knocked on the door today, because I have hit rock bottom again! I was caught drinking and driving this week (very serious here, a lot of people do it, too) and my license is suspended! I go to court next week to see what my penalty is (most likely can't drive for 6 months). This is going to be crazy hard for him because his wife and him just split up and he might not see the kids now and he doesn't know how he is going to get to work. He is having a rough time, and we just happened to knock on his door. I am starting to think that we keep showing up when bad things happen so we shouldn't show up anymore! Just kidding, I know that we have the answer for him and why his life is going bad! I really hope that he starts coming back to church so that he doesn't find another rock bottom.
Today we are going to the National Aquarium of New Zealand so that should be cool. And we will be going on splits with the Zone Leaders this week. I get to lead my area already! I am excited and would have never guessed that I would be leading the area in 3 months into my mission, even if it is only for 3 days!
