Oh, dear Heavens. Thank you for the cheez-its and all the other amazing things in that box. I don't say it to brag, but it totaled every other elders box. That kind of made me smile, but I'm just so happy to have gotten it from you! I was going to ask for you to just buy some random things, I didn't know what to expect, lol. But I was PLEASANTLY surprised. No wait the funniest thing was I was going to Specificallyl ask for Ding-Dongs, and then I open the box and what-d-ya-know. Lol. I haven't received the letter from Ben yet, but it takes about a week and a half to get anything from any of you. I received your epistle about the U.S. Open but at the same time, I got the letter from dad before you both left for Camp LoMia just earlier this week. I don't know. Oh well, let me fill in a few random events, then I'll get to myself. We have an Elder Buchanan and an Elder Powell who are companions going to Lima Peru, they're supposed to leave Wed. but we just found out today only one got their VISA. Lol, unfortunately it's Elder Buchanan who's going to have to wait and he's the one with the gas. But we were talkign about Adam and Eve on a side note the other day, because one Elder (Procuniar) couldn't understand why God would give them contradictory commandments, have children and partake of the fruit ven though they couldn't keep both. So Elder Buchanan asked "could they not have children caus they didn't have any genitalia?!" It's the funniest thing that's happened yet. It was SOOO funny. I almost died...it may be funnier in context even the teacher was standing in the corner blushing trying not to laugh. Let's see. My companion is better in another way too. The other night he focused from 9:30 to 10:30 doing wht he was supposed to and then he shut the blinds and covered the clock light which is what I usually do, because I forgot! It's the small things that make the big difference by far, It's still a struggle to get my district thinking that the gospel is more important than learning the language and that try as you may there's always something new to learn. I'm was having a problem getting along with the Elders who really think they're hot stuff. I'm learning virtue and love though. I've gotten over most, problem is I LIVE with this one. I don't know how to say it except he REALLY reminds me of Kieran from GameCrazy. But I'm pushing that out of my head, I just want to be patient and get along. I'm getting over a temp. cold now, and I gave somebody a piggy back ride but then slid home when I couldn't slow down enough to turn a corner. Got a little rug burn all the way down my leg. Still no time to do anything and I'm learning that it's very difficult to study on P-Day. I stared at the Book of Mormon and Preach my gospel for an hour to no prevail. Then spent another 1 1/2 hours doing nothing. But now it's laundry. I get time to right letters. Hopefully I can right MORE THAN ONE! this time...
