Another Bleh

August 13, 2012

I think the end of a mission is the most expensive because everything is worn out and you need new everything even if it’s for a short amount of time.  I’ll have to pull a bit more out now because I am in DRASTIC need of shoes.  I know I told you on Mother’s Day that it would be ok and I really thought it would be, but I just went through those "new" soles that I thought would last until the end of mission.  That’s right.  I got them back from the shoe guy about 6 weeks ago and I already have holes in the bottoms.  I’ll send pics.

 My other shoes aren´t doing to well either.  I had a hole in one side of my right shoe and I fixed that by asking a guy to put a piece of leather inside and sew it all up. Well, he did, but he sewed it SUPER tight and it knocked my foot out the other side of the shoe.  If I ask for another piece of leather in it my foot won’t fit.  The best part is, out of the 3 pairs of shoes I brought out here (including my sports shoes that are opening up as well), only 1 shoe seems decent enough to take home at the end of the mission.  Very weird. I won’t be buying more athletic shoes though.  Just a pair of black leather Hushpuppies.  I’ve heard a lot of elders buying those at the end of their missions and they love them.

This was a pretty bad week . Both my comp and I were sick . I had a bug that had me in bed ALL day for 2 days and he was hit hard with a cold that also put him on his back for a bit.  We then spent another day to recuperate a bit by order of Sister Christensen and Doctor Kelly.  I’d say mine was harder, and it was, but I talked to the right people and now I’m doing a bit better while he is still coughing up a storm and sneezing out a hurricane.  He refuses to talk to anyone, so I’ll talk to them for him.  Mwhahaha.

The weekly report is short: rough (being sick), not much success (for being sick), and the bap date we had fell through (she didn’t go to church). We did find this one girl knocking doors though.  Her name is Deborah and she had heard from the elders about a year ago, but they never went back.  We are going back.  She is asthmatic and we gave her a blessing. She was really grateful for that.

We are gunna kick it up this week to make up for the sick days, so stay tuned next week for some good stories!!!

Love Y´all!!! (Heeheehee)
