So we drove the sisters around for the first two days of the week cuz
their car died. And then on wed we helped clean out their investigator
mikes basement, then Thursday was another snow storm, so we stayed
inside all day. Then Friday we had a flat tire so we changed it and
went to pep boys and while we waited we had a zone meeting, then
picked up the car and dropped a birthday card off at johns. Then hung
out at home Cuz it was snowy. Then Saturday was bishops storehouse,
then later we went to an Asian buffet for Johns birthday and I ate a
lot of different things. Then we went home and and our bishop called
to ask us to come shovel the church again, cuz it was snowing. Then
Sunday came and we went to correlation meeting and said the same
things we say every week. Then church, and I said the closing prayer,
then class, and I used my ipad to hold open the real book. Then in
elders quorum I flipped through the new gospel library update, not
paying attention because the teacher is Filipino and I can't
understand him. Then we went home for a few minutes, then we went to a
members house for dinner, and had really good tacos her mom made, and
burgers from Costco. Then her tenant came down and ate, and Clark and
bey taught her some gospel. While I was watching soccer and listening
to them talk. Then we went out looking for people. Then we went home
and I took apart my nerf gun to fix it, while Clark called for
numbers. Then this morning, we went to lowes and got an 8'x4' white
board and mounted it in our study room. Now we are at little necks
chapel for a zone activity.
 In our zone meeting on Friday, the sisters in our district gave us
elders red ties they crocheted. They were cool. Pics later, I don't
have them. I was thankful for the heart tie, but I didn't wear it. And
I was super thankful for my favorite chocolates.
   We played tennis on Saturday, my legs were so sore, but it was fun.
And I love the missionaries in this mission. They are great peoples.
That's the first time I've retold all that's happened Ina whole week.
Ok, I'll write more later after things happen.

February already....
   From that massive move we got some sweet stuff, I got a nice sound system from brookstone, and we got a very nice leather couch for the pad. It's dark brown with recliners on both ends. It's nicer than dads. Probably cuz it's newer. But for now it's nice. I need to take pictures of them. I also realized I don't sent many pictures home, I
don't take much, and not much goes on. I do have some, but a lot are of me. I'll try to take more, but it's hard to remember to bring my massive ipad. A camera is smaller and better for a lot of situations. I don't like taking pics with ipads, makes me look weird. Not as weird as a full size one, though. (First world problems)

  So we lost basically two investigators, but hardy came back from china and came to church yesterday!  We need to get in contact with sister bergold and her daughter.   We might get a new gator soon from bay shore, because he lives here, but is marrying a girl from the Bayshore ward. So after they get hitched or even sooner, we'll get him.  

 I'm getting over my cold today, Sunday was the worst. But now Clark has it.    This morning was pretty good, the vending machine gave me a free yoohoo. But Clark took it. I had already bought two fruit drinks, so idc.

   Today may be just a hang out day, cuz we are both tired from this sickness. Apparently there's supposed to be another big storm this last weekend,  but my landlord told us it went south.  Two feet to two inches.

  Last night I found out that my mouth is really small and that even my throat hole is really small. That's why I take forever to eat, so it's small enough to go down. And why I can't swallow large pills. Clark was asking if it's because my tonsils are still in.  Whatever it may be, oh well.

   Clark reminds me a lot of King, voice, personality, memory with songs, a few other things. But it's kinda freaky sometimes. Like this morning I saw him out of the corner of my eyes and I really thought it was king for a second. Weird.

  President interviews are this week, hopefully I can pass. Haha I bet he'll tell me to do some things I'm not doing now, like emailing him every week (apparently we can do it on ipads too) and doing the weekly survey that comes with the ipad. Other missions are better at doing it than us. Like we are at 17% and other ipad missions are at 85%.  % of everyone doing the survey.

 Our new zone leader is cool. He's a funny one.

    It snowed a little last night, and then we went drifting in the parking lot, I'm really good. I almost want to do it professionally. That would be fun. Like Ken Block. He's super good.    We got so much food from the schaaps. They couldn't take a lot from last storehouse and then they gave us more that she couldn't eat in the 5 days of being here.  We don't need to go shopping for pretty much anything. The members give us stuff too. Like the psillos' walked into church and gave me two gallons of milk, and a huge box of cereal.

    Anywha, I can't think anymore. I gotta play soccer.

I played a great game of soccer. I was the defender and I defended like crazy! I was a stone wall! Nothing got past me, but things did get past the goalie.  But I worked so hard. It was the most I've ever worked out. Or the
most I've really put my all into a sports game. It was super fun. I'm legitimately worn out. I didn't run back and forth much, I stayed near the goal box, but I was effective.   And that was my workout for the day.

We played rugby now, it's really fun, I want to get more into it.  I forgot my orthotics at home and now my feet hurt. oh well, it's almost 6.

My hair was so long on top, cuz I cut the sides a while ago, then stopped there, hoping to get the top soon after. Cut that was like two months ago. Then a few weeks ago we moved this couple in to their new house, and the wife said she does hair. So me and bey went over there this morning and she cut my hair. We met her husband today, cuz he wasn't there on the move day. He's cool, he's got a ton of great movies and a nice TV set up. We talked about that cuz it's easy for me to understand, rather than his job, which is vivint. It started out west but now it's out here. 
  Anyway, she used a straight edge on the back of my neck, it was so cool! I love having my short hair. Feels nice now too. I love the fresh feeling.

  I don't know what happened last week any different from the normal.
  We haven't really found any new people, but we are losing a family
soon. The schaaps are moving to Florida later this week. The dad and
Victoria are, but gabe might stay here in queens. Tori says her
marriage isn't going well. Like they haven't been living together for
more than a month now.
  And we get their nice fur nature. Haha furniture.
 Oh man I have a bad headache. From falling on it. We were playing
this stupid game where we spin in a circle for 30 seconds then jump
over an umbrella we were holding above our heads. The second time I
did it I just fell over and hit my head on the ground and now my neck
hurts, my temples, and my eyes.

 But we played in the snow too. It was super fun. There's like a foot
or more and we went sledding, and bey made a ramp and when I went off
it I got some major air and flew like 5 feet. Everyone else was going
over it like a little bump, and bey was jumping off it and doing other
tricks, he's good.
  As I went down, I yelled "for narnia!!"  It was fun.
    So we just hung out with our district all day. From 12 to now. The
roads are probably still crazy so we didn't leave.
 We played Football in the field, like a foot of snow, and it's hard
to run. But it was fun. We played tackle because the snow would make
it easier to land. A cushion of snow.

I feel hungry even though I just ate some Taco Bell. Bad choice.
Especially right before spinning around in a circle trying to stay up.
I fell over before 30 was up. Twice.

 I feel like throwing up.
 But today was really fun.
 I'm gunna miss the schaaps, even though I complain about them, I like
them. Now I gotta find someone else to complain about.
  Oh, my new comp ain't so bad. Just a little weird. But everyone is.
  His personality and excitement levels are WAY higher than mine. He
said he grew up around girls, so he doesn't really know how to act
around guys. Or he's a little awkward.  Sometimes I don't even know
what to do or say when he's acting up. Like he's so full of energy and
I'm not. And he laughs at a lot of things, and I don't. And his memory
is horrible. But he's working on it. He was an office elder and that
helped. But he still forgets short term things. And I thought my
memory was bad. He's got is way worse.
 And he's allergic to apples, but he loves them. They make his lips
and throat numb.

 The skin on the bottoms of my feet is peeling and then on my left
foot, there were blisters that hurt bad. Then I popped them and put a
bandaid on and it hurt. But I, a big boy.  But not when It comes to
setting up appointments for my teeth. I still haven't done that.
  I've decided to try to cut down on sugars. I ate a lot the other day
and it tore up my tongue. So I gotta stop that.
   I gotta lose weight too, like my fat pot gut belly. It hurts to
bend over to tie my shoes. And I got stretch marks on my waist. I got
love handles! I hate it. The other day I was looking at myself
thinking that I can't see myself being thin. Or at least in shape. But
I know I can't think like that, I have to be positive and optimistic
about myself so I feel better so I can lose my belly. Then my neck and
my legs.  My pants are tighter, and I found a shirt that's size 18
neck that I've been wearing for two weeks. I gotta either lose weight
or deal with my fat neck and try not to gain more. I think I'll do
both.  Lose weight and not gain more. I don't know how much I weigh
now. It's been a while since I've been close to a scale.

 Anyway, I don't know what else to say. I've already said a lot.
 As always, my back hurts, and there's always something wrong with me.
But I try not to let it control me and get the better of me.

 Till next week,
LYB, elder peck.

I actually watched until the 3rd quarter. We were leaving when the broncos finally scored. I loved the first play. And the one where it was intercepted by Seahawks and that guy....A-something.... took it all the way back and scored.

   I was actually enjoying that everyone around me was rooting for Denver, and I knew my whole family was going for Seattle. It was fun.

 We watched it at our investigator, Amy's house. And she fed us.

  Oh ya and we played football in a foot of snow just now. It was fun. And because of the snow cushion, we played tackle. It was funny too.   There is so much snow, and it's still coming.
