The rain keeps fallin, rain keeps fallin down. Oct 24, 2011

Here we are, havin a real good time.
     This morning, we went to the church with the usual group of
elders, played some made soccer (4 goals, 2 of which were with my
head) and just hung out, beatboxing and rapping and playing piano, it
was pretty fun. Starting out a real good week. Weve got a few
investigators that could really progress alot this week, and our last
week was really productive too. Im figuring out how to get along with
the comp, we havent had a big argument all week, and i feel like im
figuring out a little better how to make this not happen anymore. Our
ward is full of really cool people, a few of them are examples that i
am never going to forget. Last friday was killer hot, but since then
its been cloudy and rainy constantly, which is so much better in every
way for me, i missed the cold.
         I am thinkin about the fam all the time, always with a
smile. People absolutly love the pictures mom and christal sent me,
especially of the kids, and the one of all the cousins at the civic
center. they always say " whoa, look, theyre all white!" thats kind of
a big deal down here, even though the people here would be the last
ones to admit it haha, its kind of funny how different things are.
People are always so fast to explain that theyre usually not this tan,
or that their grandpa is from spain, and its like haha, alright,
whatever. I wonder for how much more time those things will matter in
the world. i can only hope not much longer, but its whatever. I am
really gonna have a rude awakening when we leave this area, we get fed
every day, and not just fed, but stuffed usually. always two heaping
plates and its always hard to walk afterwards, but that is so much
better than hunger. were lucky.
       Theres been a change in plans in the schedule, aparently, the
transfers will not be this coming thursday but the next, so like 4 or
5 days early. that might mean that i miss a p-day in the craziness, if
i dont write next monday it will mean im going to thursday. im sort of
positive im not going anywhere, thankfully. Elder casas has been here
for quite a while, so ive got at least one transfer left, and i really
love it here. the second hes gone, im going to completly rearange
everything in our apartment, while there isnt anyone to tell me no,
and it will be so much better. more effective, more comfortable, just
an all around higher level of chi. Big boss doesnt want to do it, so i
just gotta wait a week and a half. We are getting along, but i cant
pretend that im not going to be throwing my head back and howling at
the moon like a gleeful maniac when i get a new comp. Everything is
great here. the work is good, i feel good, its been a while since ive
gotten any paper letters... always welcome.
         Sounds like things are pretty good up north, im prayin for
all of you, and i love all of you.
