If you have noticed, in all of these pictures I am wearing the same tie. Yet, these pictures were not taken all on the same day. I wore the same tie 4 days in a row this week. No one commented on it. I was slightly disappointed.
Ok, now for some news about our
investigators! Tina had to work this Sunday. Dang. If it wasn't for her job
making her working on Sundays she would be baptized this Saturday. Keep praying
for her to get Sundays off. It's only a matter of time. This week we found out
she's from Hawaii! She has Hawaiian royalty in her blood, so if she moved back
to Hawaii she could live there for 99 cents a year. I am too jealous!!!
Silvia made it out to church today
and has really enjoyed all of the lessons we've had. She wants to be baptized,
but she still feels that she's not ready quite yet. This week was great for
their family though! Her husband Sergio got the priesthood this week in
church and his son Sergio was able to give it to him (yes, Sergio is Sergio's
dad. And they are both named Sergio in case that was confusing at all).
Joe wasn't able to make it out to
church, but we had 3 really good lessons with him. Turns out he also knows 3 of
the other recent converts in the ward besides Sergio, so we're excited about
all the great fellowship he has. He really wants to be baptized, but he just
needs to make it out to church.
Saul unfortunately is in jail for a
while... He told us a couple weeks ago that he had to go to jail, so it was no
shock. But, it still isn't any good. Another good investigator that we have is
Shawn. He is friends with another member family in the branch and they have us
over once or twice a week to meet with him. He's 20 years old and he reminds me
of a mixture of Michael Nokes and a guy I met in college. He's legit. He's been
to church the last 2 weeks in a row. And this week church attendance was about
the same as last week, around 75.

Sad day. That Gatorade lanyard that
Meagan so preciously gifted me broke for the second time, so instead of super
gluing is back together once again I decided to just throw it way :(

And here is me eating a pretty
normal Tuna sandwich, but now I acquired a taste for spices, so I added some
good old jalapenos (I hear they're suppose to speed up your metabolism).

We made smoothies this week, and
Elder Walker said it looked like the drinks they have in James and the Giant
Peach. I totally agree, and I thought it was quite cool.

And one last story. This week I
discovered something called "shog." It's a brown haze that hangs
around on the edge of town, and we had to pass through it this week on our trip
to an outside town, Friona. Have you discovered what Shog means? Fog of sh....
Yup. It's caused by all the cows walking around on their dried up poop. Then
the wind catches it and starts blowing it around. Gaa-ross!
I love you family! It's always good
to hear from you! And keep those pictures rolling in too! I love you see how
ya'll are doing! I love you Courtney! I love you Meagan! I love you dad! I love
you mom! Wow. Reverse order. Did I throw you off? :)
