Say Whaattt???

Ok, I am a week behind with this one, but good ones are worth waiting for. I particularly like his description of doing a whole door introduction without his companions help. Maybe that language is a bit trickier than it seems, especially when your mind is muddled. We used to suffer some similar things even in England, because some words have totally different meanings. Can be sort of embarrassing at times. So for your enjoyment and a glimpse into life through his eyes....and a look at what things he would like in the next, ok his first, package delivery. Oh, and we have now taken care of the package!

we woke up this morning to someone calling us and letting us know that pres. Hinckley had passed away, not the best way to start the day, but unfortunately, the day had to come... but i know pres monson will be awesome!
English class is where we pass out fliers and then once a week people come and we have lessons, 10 beginner, 10 advanced nd 10 intermediate and we teach them each week and at the end we share a spiritual message, so it is a proselyting tool. that's where we met Eniko", and she is getting baptised in 3 weeks :)
sounds like the big birthday was awesome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! i wish i coulda seen it, sounds like it was a blast! did Pres millett take you out to dinner because it was your birthday? or just for fun? or maybe a new calling??? :) haha that'd be awesome :) you and mom are in trouble now! :)
well, things here are going well, we only have 1 1/2 weeks left in the transfer. i think i will stay here, but i don't know for sure... time is flying by!
it's pretty cold here right now, we had a warm spell like you guys, then it went right back to cold! i'm not sure how i like that...
we were tracting the other day and i did my usual door approach and then the lady responded and that's where i let Johnson coe in and take over, but this time, he just stood there and we all stared at eachther and it dawned on me "crap, he's not going to say anything!" so i had to do it all by my onesie! i kind of do door approaches now on my own... except at the door where the lady asked if we were jehovas witnesses and i said yes, that was when johnson helped me out. i thought the lady said SHE was a JW not asking if WE were! not good...
well, i have a couple questions/ concerns for you all...
1. so i have been thinking that i will do a half year at uvsc since it is free, and work and such. that way i can apply for the U and such myself when i get home. i would apply for the following year... is that a good idea or no?
2. if you are thinking of sending a package, i would like to request a few items in it... namely:
- some crystal light packages or kool-aid or some powder mix...
- my blue flosser that should be in my bathroom cabinet...
- an extra floss roll
- some pictures: (if you can't find them, it's ok...no biggie :) )
+ a few of what's goin on in your lives, like where you have been and such, like if you went to st george and thigns...
+ a couple skiing pix (there's one where i am jumping in the air and there's some people you can see under me (showing height..) it's a side view...) and maybe some other random fun picutres...
+ i would like the centimillaspider pede picture also... the full on body shot of it.
- a couple CDs. i have a list of songs that i have on itunes i would like you to burn and send to me, but i have to ask the dreaded question: you didn't delete itunes and my songs did you? i'll get you the list of songs next week in the email, or in a letter i write home... and i'll tell ya how to burn them in itunes, it's easy.
so if you were thinkin of sendin a package sometime, these would be greatly appreciated items :) it is not an emergency that i get these, just the next time you send a package, try to include a few of these, but they are not a big deal :)
i love you guys tons and i'll talk to ya later! thanks for all you do for me!

p.s. one last note on mail: i only get mail 2 times in a transfer, so it really is kind of hard to see what friends are writing me and who aren't and how often...
