hey

 

his district:
 the numbers represent
how many transfers that have
 happened since they've been out
on their mission

so to start things off the potentially almost worst thing ever happened.  I lost my memory card for like 3 days. I looked EVERYWHERE for it. I didn't know how I was going to tell you guys on the email because we had already lost one memory card, but a person who works downstairs waved us over and was like, "hey this is yours", I looked at the pictures and it was you. I was super glad that he was an honest guy. I felt so happy that I wanted to kill the fatted calf (bible joke). I felt like buying him a pastry, but I have no money...

 

This week we got invited over to a member's house for dinner. They live in Thionville. We had to take a train. They were super nice and they made us tartiflette!! Their 19 year old son is like a professional juggler and he did a show for us. It was like the craziest thing I've ever seen. And their less active son came over and brought his girlfriend. It was a really fun night. The train ride home was pretty weird. The train only had one car. It looked like a Jelly bean on the tracks.

 

So not very many of our investigators are very well. They keep either dropping us or are never home when we have appointment. We do a lot of porting and we're hoping something good will happen. We found a really really cool neighborhood, but we kinda have to walk up a couple mountains to get there, but i like it because there is a big dog that always runs out to see us and I pet him a lot.

 

So recently there has been spiders EVERYWHERE and they are the creepy kind with 2 legs forward and 2 legs back on each side. Elder Smith and I are very very cautious. I think the longer I've been on my mission the more I've been scared of spiders and snakes. Isn't that the opposite of what is supposed to happen?

 

This week the weather has been pretty strange. There are really random 20 minute storms where the whole sky is grey but then when it blows past its pretty muggy and hot. Today is sunny though and there's a slight breeze.

 

 I don't really know still about college. Maybe we could *apply* for BYU just to see if I can get in.  I kinda don't know why but I get the feeling that I want to eventually go to school in Utah.  I love SVU and really want to go back. but would it really be the best thing? I don't know if I could come home and then go straight to summer school.  I probably could. Aren't  I supposed to register for summer school during this fall semester?

 

I didn't get a package.

 

I pretty much almost puked in front of an old lady. So I had a HUGE kebab for lunch and then we went door to door. I was feeling ILL. So I was just bouncing around in a daze, feeling BAD. One super nice lady who had a gate was like "no way I'm catholic" so we were walking away and I went to push the gate open (but the gate was a pull-to-open) so I just gave myself the Heimlich maneuver and i let out a super loud gaggy-groany noise and turned around and saw Elder Smith and the old lady just roaring laughing at me. I was super embarrassed.

 

so for transfers we have no idea who is staying. There are a lot of variables. We are BOTH getting new comps and one of us is leaving. I hope we get cool comps, but chances are pretty good because most of the missionaries are really cool.
