I almost don't want to say anything today, but rather later this week,
once transfers is over.

I'm sure I can think of something.

Teaching the Jones is crazy. We are over there for a lot longer than
we should be, but we also get some good lessons in because of the time
spent. The lesson doesn't start once we get there. Usually a few hours
later. But I think they have progressed more with us in the past month
than they ever have in the 5 ish years since they started.
So it's a paradox. We taught them the 10 commandments yesterday. And
we got caught up on a subject that neither Richardson nor I know much
about. So that was rough. But they wanted us to tell them, and it
makes sense, we go in and tell teach them about our church, but when
they ask us a question we don't know, they get kinda... Well if we
can't answer them, they stick with what they want.
   And their grandmother is there too, and she can't get over the word
of wisdom. That drinking a small glass of wine isn't bad. And the mom
says alcohol is okay to drink, because getting drunk is the sin.
So you can see that it's always interesting whenever we go.

But them and the Rodriguez's are pretty much our main focus now. We do
try to get in with everyone else, but the jones's literally do nothing
all day, so we can go over whenever. And the Rodriguez family is open
at night. But the past two times we went over, the Verizon cable dude
was there, taking up our time. But when we are there as well,
Richardson translates for the mom. The kids don't speak as much
English, so we help out.  They are a great family.

Today is the last day that me and Richardson have together as just the
two of us. Oh yeah... It is not official that we will be getting a
third person (yet). But when they say we are both in, but need to go
to transfer meeting. And the AP called asking if our pad is big enough
for three.... It's no secret.
    Things are going to get crazy real quick around here.


    I watched a video today about being a priesthood man, and the kid
is in my mission! Michael Wilkinson. I saw him, and he doesn't look
the same, so I thought it was his younger brother. But I guess this
was a while ago, because it is him. That's cool. There's another video
about a Hawaiian girl that sings..she was in the same MTC group as
elder dance. And there are the mormon messages about people in New
York. There's a lady who's husband is the stake president...Glass is
her last name. (I haven't seen that one). And of course bro Mansuetto.
And a clothing designer in Manhattan, he came to help out in the
hurricane. I never saw him though.
There are a few more, but they are in the city.

Ok. So that's the update on the families.
Mom- i haven't had a scale since last transfer so I have no idea how
much I weigh.

I might email again later today...
But I will say something about the new guy later.

See ya!
