Hey Fam,
man wow! what week you all have been having. kinda kills me I cant be there... actually it really kills me. however I know that this work is more important. wow yeah pictures would be way cool! I've told everyone here about it so I think almost more than I they expect pictures. man this week was a LONG first week of the transfer... had lots of fun. but my companion is really getting to me... making me excersize my patience alot. but he is pretty funny sometimes. for instance last night we were teaching this woman in her house and Elder Reynolds had been quite pretty much the whole time I was teaching. talking to her and talking to her and then all of a sudden there was this break of seriousness and he... well you know when you go to laugh but you dont want to so you make that funny scruffy noise. like what I did at the opening of twilight that night in the theatre.. well he does this right in the middle of the lesson... I was like what?! you ok? me and the investigator was really confused... anway the lesson continued and he yet remained quite and then broke the silence again really trying to hold back bursting into laughing. I did not understand at all! I was tryin to think if there were any cognate words or something that we were saying that sounded funny ... I could think of nothing. anyway we end the lesson (which we dropped her, she is not willing to keep commitments and says she will NOT come to our church that she is orthadox catholic) she tells my comp to pray because he was laughing at her.. anyway I ask him afterwards what the heck was going on. he says well ... he tries to tell me through broken laughter.... you know when she said she had not read? well I wanted to leave right after that.. (she was a new investigator to me and an old one to him because I had gotten transfered into his area so I didn't really know her) he said so I thought what would be the most innapropriate thing to do to express the way I was feeling when she told us she hadn't read. well in the lesson there was this poor helpless cat sitting on a chair in front of him... he got a visual of grabbing the cat throwing it through the wall and tell the lady that she's not getting it!... and thus provoked his laughter... haha he's got alot to learn. he is still a little newer than I am so he still has that cloud of darkness that some what surrounds his mind as far as the language goes. way interesting. well yeah thanksgiing was really good! I hope the wedding and everything goes well. thank you so much for the transfer.. it was - 15 yesterday. I'll be frugle promise. good luck with the wedding, send me pics! unfortunantly my camera has gone down the drain.. it will no longer turn on. right when I found out I could just use the MP3 form and record the week and send it to you and make typing so much more easier! but alas thats what I get for waiting so long to figure it out. so you are going to have to wait on pictures! oh and another thing! our time to talk with each other is coming up! I'm not sure what day but you will get to call me and we will get to chat! 'm stoked for that! um yeah... lets see the work is still hard but its fun!
