This week has been a good one, same old same old!

Another week down on the mission only like 93 left to go! i know i said like 102 last week, but i did the math and i was so off, lol. That gave me some inspiration! But I'm not just counting the weeks, i Honestly really love this mission. it can be hard, that's a given, but i love the people i serve and the members here are super nice :)

General Conference was this last weekend. For all that Don't know what that is, all of our general leaders of our church get together to talk to us, and give us advice and counsel. Honestly its such a blessing, because this world is a piece of crap nowadays. So much suffering, so many dangers! its good to have Men called of good to give us guidance on how to handle life in this world. Everyone should check it out on LDS.org :)))))). You might get something good out of it.

Well, Ive come to the realization that i will never come back to California. Its DEAD, its BROWN, and its UGLY. Where is all the Green? Good question, i have yet to find the answer to that one. However, the people here are pretty cool. As i said before, Hispanics are super nice, even to a Gringo like me. i guess that kinda makes up for the Crappy geography here....

Funny story: we were playing Basketball today, and my companion pretty much broke or sprung his arm. So we play half court, and we were playing 4 on 4. Elder Patterson was guarding another missionary, and as that elder was going for a shot, Elder P. tried to block it. Nothing inherently dangerous, nope not at all. But that other Elder, Elder Page, faked him out and ducked... Elder P. flipped over him and landed on his forearm. He was out for the rest of games. I feel bad for him, but hes totally hilarious. He Cant extend his arm all the way,nor can he raise it up much at all, so it just hangs there like hes Mentally disabled. Also he still insisted on driving, so he shifted and drove with one arm... . Every time he tried to hit a button on the stereo in the car, he looked like ET! I couldn't stop laughing. Hes tough tho, and he has been doing everything he can do by himself, but honestly that's not a lot. I had to tie his tie for him, and i almost had to help him put his socks and shoes on. He is always groaning in pain, and currently, we are laughing at him tryng to email, its quite the humorous sight sight . Yeah, hes pretty incapacitated lol. He also doesn't want to go to the Mission nurse, which, he honestly needs to. Ill update y'all next week on my cripple of a companion.

last thing. I'm taking over the area this week on Wednesday, because we are going on exchanges with our Zone Leaders, which don't speak Spanish. so Ill be doing all the talking. I'm Nervous, really nervous. I serve basically in Mini Mexico. I still don't know this Language super well, but i can hold my own in conversations. What I'm nervous about is that sometimes, its super duper hard to hear and comprehend them and what they say. Some Speak so fast and super unclear. Pray for me... RIP.
