Letter from Josh 19 OCT 2009

Hello everyone,

I am so super jealous of the cruise it is not even funny! i dont care what mom or dad say about it not being that great, they are dead wrong. What could be better than a week of all you can eat food and no schedule and no cares and just partying all the time? i know that sam and mike and spencer and meg loved it, and i would have too. Mom, you dont have to come when i go if you dont want, but you at least have to send me with meg and spencer and sam so we can party like its 1999.

The week was rough. nothing was going our way. tuesday theer was some career workshop at the church that all of the investigators were at, i hate it when they have stuff like that. i mean its great that they can help people but it screws us over because everybody is there instead o with us. then wednesday there was a freak rain storm all afternoon that trapped us cause no matatoos were running so we couldnt get anywhere. thursday we were hoping to catch a break but they all bounced us. friday was my comps birthday, i got up early to make him pancakes and bacon and eggs (buying the bacon almost killed me, it was equal to 10 US dollars), but then i fell asleep at my study desk after and he didnt wake me up trying to be nice so i slept till 10, which in some ways was nice, but i felt guilty for leaving the house late. We got an apartment that afternoon (we went behind the presidents back and used an agent but we did have permission from the couple in charge of housing) so that was good, but it took the whole afternoon so that day was shot as well. saturday was our only normal day. then sunday there was another storm so nobody came to church, including the ones that were suppose to be baptised, but its all the same cause the pool we baptise at is outdoor and would have been closed.

so yea, not the best week. but this one will be better. we are going down to chyulu for exchanges, sould be fun, it will take tuesday wednesday and thursday out of our working area, but that should just help us to be more busy when we get back. We found this restoraunt that has mexican food and it rocked my socks off. i am sure compared to home it is nothing special but i was in heaven. we are going again tonight.

The hard weeks just make you apreciate the good ones more. i am sure there is something else i am suppose to learn too, like having a good attitude or something, but it hasnt hit me yet. Hopefully it does before i have to have another crappy week to learn it. Anyways, i love you guys! i got to though. have a great week!

Elder Josh Harris
