i apologize for last week. my computer was stupid. i was using internet explorer in a library on a 200 year old laptop and it froze and it took forever to load again. i was mightily frustrated last week. but you know what? its all in the past.

this week, well it was something else. so many things happened. i think.

we had a mission miracles day where we prayed for every companionship in our mission to see and experience miracles in their area and it was soo cool! we also have a goal of handing out 15 Book of Mormons...or Books of Mormon...i dont know. but 15 in 3weeks for each companionship in our zone and this last week we handed out three starting in the middle of the week. you could say we are killing it.

part of our miracles this last week was contacting a girl in the marines. but shes english so we had to give her to the english missionaries. but then we met her again the next day! and talked to her more about the gospel and she was about to light another cigarette but we told her to not. and she didnt. so score.

oh and then in 100 degree sun beating down weather day we were walking and this drunk guy comes up to us from around a hedge and the first thing that comes out of his mouth when he sees me is "youre so beautiful" is his drunken slurred speech. and then he uses the f word every three words. its interesting how that word can be used as a noun, adjective, adverb, filler word, preposition. and then whenever he stopped he told me again that i was pretty and asked if my eyes were green. and then after some time he was saying goodbye and took my hand and elbow and kissed the top of my hand. such an interesting interaction. one for the books.

i studied in depth what it means to take upon ourselves the name of Christ this morning. it was awesome. i love my personal studies. it means that we are to willingly represent Him and serve Him and obey His commandments continually until the end. and like i felt like i knew that before but it was just cool to know how to answer that question and click the refresh button in my memory. just blow off the dust from the filing cabinet of files of memories.

the mission is difficult and awesome. i love it. its hard but there is no where id rather be. this is my time to be completely on the Lord's time. you only got one shot, do not miss your chance -eminem
