Hey Family!
I miss you all sooooo much! This week has been crazy and not so much fun. My companion spends all of his alotment money on stuff that nobody needs and then is out of money very quickly. and since it is the end of the month, hehas been out for the past week and a half now. I told him i would ay for the things that we need like food, transport, etc, but he is still mad that i wont just hand him money. Which i wont do because i know he wil go spend it on nonsense items again. Lets just say it sucks to live with somebody that is pist at you all the time for no good reason. I feel like i am being very kind and helpfull to pay for the necesities, he thinks i am a "selfish bastard" (bastard is not a swear word hear, neither is damn or hell or ass). But the month is almost over and then we will be able to get along for another couple weeks until he blows all his money again. Other than that things are going well. We had a baptism yeasterday. His name is George, he is a great kid, in his early twenties, dont know his exact age but only cause i havent bothered to look at that part of his teaching record. And we are going to extend the commitment to be aptised to 5 of our investigators this week (Silvia, Anita, Steve, Steve, and Faiza) their baptisms will probably be at the end of the month, and the branch president is pushing us to baptise Silvia as fast as possible because he wants to make her the relief society president. She is amazing and is pretty much serving in the calling right now anyways. One of the other Elders here had the worst week of his life, i feel bad for the kid! first he got a dear john, and then the next day he fell into the rain gutter (it is like seven feet deep) and landed on his face. luckily nothing was broken, but his whole head is supper swolen and one side of his face is just covered in a giant scab from where his face was scraped. He should be back to normal within a few days though, poor kid.
I do keep a journal but it is only every few days and it is kind of only because i know that someday i will regret it if i dont, but i cant say that i get too much out of it like you are mom. although one thing that i have learned aboutmyself here is that i do need time to just sit an think, with no distractions, just me and silence. It is hard to find that on mission, and i have been climbing up on top of the roof to get that alone time lately. I was going crazy my first bit here before i started climbing the house (it always reminds me of Greg when i start to climb it too, i swear he can climb up anything). Thanks for the reminder of Gregs b-day, but he should know there is already a package on the way to him, i really hope it doesnt take too long to get there. and as far as the shorts go i do want the khaki ones. there should be two pairs in my stuff somewhere but then again i would not be the least bit suprised if mike walked off with them after i left, or sam, spencer would suprise me a bit, but only because he would say they were too big and mike and sam wouldnt care if they were too big.
Tell Rachel congrats for me!!!!!! i cant believe the wedding is this week, i am sure it will be amazing! I am glad Grandad is talking to you again, i know that wil make you worry a lot less about him, or more depending on whats going on, but less in general. I wish i knew what else to say, everything just seems so different at home now. I love you all! have a great week!
Love,
Elder Harris
