so yes we got calls, and i'm staying.....in the zone. but i'm out of huntington.  i'm guessing i'm going to plainview, that's where the stake center is.  and elder Law is dl there, and i guess his comp is out, so it's possible i could go with him.

   haha at the library theres a guy on the comps who's typing like its a typewriter, like he's poking the letters pretty hard.

  so thanks for the package. sounds great. i hope it comes in so i can get it tomorrow.  i sent both emily and geoff letters.

 we were at the church one day for english classes and once we were done with the prayer, we heard this loud noise on the roof and looked outside and it was like the ocean was coming down on us! it was very sudden and there was a ton of it!  so it seems like it's raining like crazy all over the country. i heard about the people in CO who died and some others..  we just waited inside for about an hour for it to die down, but it was still going a lot. it sprinkled a bit this morning.

  uhmmmm, i'll try to think of a good way to ask people about my stuff. i'm kinda nervous about going up in front of the whole mission and asking for my stuff back. but alls i really want is that blanket and my shoes.

  so far i've been sleeping with a sheet and a blanket i use for a pillow. i didn't want to get a pillow til i move. but i'll think of something. maybe have someone else do it for me. ....

 

    oh last night we went to the other elder's pad and they made rice and beans and chicken for us. and it wasn't bad. but then we went to the perez family and she had chicken and guacamole so we had it and the chicken was better than the other, and the guac was good too. oh and because people out here are mostly spanish, they drink pepsi and coke, and you probably know i didn't like it or drank it back home. but now i love pepsi! coke isn't good. but pepsi tastes like honey and it's better.  we had the cherry kind last night. and i had to stop myself from drinking the whole bottle.  but i don't go buy it, because  i want good things at home. like oj and water.  

  i got some of that high fiber oatmeal and i had three servings of it in three days and i didn't dump until this morning, and even with the two previous, it wasn't soft... so i'll have to eat more. i haven't made my poo tea yet either because i was going well for a while, then i stopped eating the fiber one bars cuz i got the oatmeals.  but now i'll have to do both? idk, the bars are 35% and the oatmeal is 40%, so that's almost 100% for the day. kinda scared to eat too much cuz of the squirts. and if i might not be home when they come.  heheeheh

 

   so for the past two weeks we drove like 30 minutes to go to a libry in a different town, then during deep cleaning i found a map and it said there's a libry like two blocks down from our pad, so that's where we are now. it's nicer and hunt has a libry card and it's harmless for missionaries. all i needed was some ID. so the next missionaries in the pad can come here. unless hunt doesn't because he's not used to it.  he does that. only goes somewhere because he's used to it. and we'll pass by the same thing to get to the one he knows. i think i said something about that last week.  but i don't wanna complain too much this week.

 

oh, we got furnature from the mansuetto's. we got some chairs and some little seats and stuff. i feel like i've told you already cuz i wrote it on the paper i'll send with the memory card.  but now the pad looks like a house. i still have the pics when i first came in, and the pics from the other day for deep cleaning. it's a lot nicer. 

   idk if i should send the card now or later.. i've tried to take more pictures these last few weeks. i had time to. but i didn't take pics of the area. i wanted to, but i was used to it, but i gotta remember you don't know what it looks like here. i'm sure mum would like it. oh and the rich people houses, too, she'd like them.  but maybe i'll send it home in 3 weeks if i've taken more pics.

   what i'll miss is the nice pad we're in now. it's large and got a washer/dryer and it's just nice. the nicest i've lived more than a week in.  but i might go live in a smaller one that has more stuff in it.   like when we were cleaning, i had the bathroom and there's no toilet brush!  i had to use the mop, mom would be proud how i handled that thing.  

 

 

 oh yes, so we went to best buy to look for bags and i found like the perfect one, but it's a little too expensive. and i wanted to keep shopping for a cheaper one.  and because it was from best buy, it was a laptop bag. but i could use those different pockets for cards and stuff. and the base was hard and squared off. so it would not be squished.  and it had a few more pockets for papers and stuff. tablets and what not... and also had those sweet magnetic snaps.  i'll try to find it for cheaper if i can't find a better bag and features.  but yes, i would love some more money on my card. like 100 to be safe. but i'll try not to spend that much. unless i can't find a better one. i don't want a crappy cheap $20 one that will not last the rest of my mission. oh and this one was canvas, so it was tough.  pretty much i had  drawn out my dream bag, then found it. but it wasn't my dream price. i'll keep looking though. 

 

ok nevermind about that bag, i looked it up on amazon and the normal site, and they are nice and there is no cheaper one.

 so i'll have to keep looking for cheaper ones. maybe i'll be okay with spending 40 ish for one. 70 is just too much.  even though it was the perfect bag...

 

  oh yeah i didn't want to tell you my address cuz i'd be here for 3 weeks. too short to send things and have them get to me there in time i think .  but the office is always good. thanks again. i can't wait for it. i'll try to find good stuff to eat it with. i remember campbell would eat it on his eggs. cuz it's good.  

  man there's a lot of old people at the library today. probably cuz of school. and kids aren't out.

 

  i can't think of anything else to say.

 so love ya bye
