Well Kid Cudi...I'll tell you where im going my friend. Im headed out of Mizzou and headed down to Razorback Country down in Arkansas! Haha YUP!! Im finally leaving! After being in the same area for the past 6 months, like Barack Obama said "Its time for a change.." (I voted for Romney. I voted. HIGHFIVE!) haha Anyways. Im pretty stoked about that! Apparently its a huge city...all the small towns out here hate on it because its Wal-Mart Headquarters. Haha What the heck is a "Wal-Marts?" thats what they call it out here haha.
Anyways, for sure looking forward to that. But this past week was crazy. Cause it was cool and all but filled with a lot of nothing-ness...well...yeah, nothing-ness haha Here was my past week :)
Tuesday October 23rd: Hit it hard this morning and got lumber jacked out and cut down a few trees. Then we split that mug into a million different pieces so that the great peoples of the Aurora ward have need of no fear for the upcoming winter cold.. :) Just read that and it sounded pretty legit...if you ask me at least. :) Anyway, We spent the whole day helping our good ol chum Andy Moss around his place. It what we do every Tuesday. Then Matt and Laura came over and we played Rumey (by the way, that games pretty fun haha All the girls i grew up played that game all the time...i had no idea what it was. I DO NOW! :) ) and thats about it. Ate dinner with all of them over there and called it a night.
Wednesday October 24th: Started the day off with a journey and a half to Joplin for a leadership meeting. It was pretty dope :) Found out that the number of applications for missionaries a week went from 400 to 4000 a week! Whaaaa?!?!?!? Okay Young Men and Young Women!! I see you!!! Thats so crazy though! Oh and our mission is receiving a HUGE increase in missionaries over th next year. 182 as of now to 250!!! Bout to be some young guns up in the OTM. So crazy! Anyways, the meeting went well. Learned how to be a leader and all that good stuff. But year, that meeting was all day long...Pou, you werent kidding when you told me about meetings haha Take ALL DAY....haha
Thursday October 25th: Today we had 2 lessons planned but ended up switching them to the weekend. So we went to Matts house and tore up all the carpet in this room and hall way. Acting like we knew what we were doing haha But thats we did all day really. Helped them take up carpet, tack board and a billion and a half staples ha. Im on that Extreme Makeover stuff.
Friday October 26th: Spent the morning cutting even more wood. And did that for a little while longer. And then some. See, this is what you do when you have 2 progressing investigators haha. Anyways, later that afternoon we picked up a new/old investigator; Tom. Pretty stoked that his testimony has been increasing and hes decided to investigate again. Just sad that i wont be able to be here to teach him. Oh well, hes in good hands. After that we went home and walked around town for a bit but stopped by the Skate Park to talk to a few kids i've become friends with over the last 6 months. We talked about how everyone has assumptions and pre-judgements about skaters and all that i was like "Hey...people think that about mormons too :)" haha True story hansel, thanks olaf.
Saturday October 27th: We spent pretty much the whole day walking around town. Walking down back allys and taking streets i've never been down. Pretty adventurous times if i dont say so myself. Anyways, later that night we met with Paul and Beth. Beths baptized but Paul isnt. We decided that November 24th will be his baptism date and he sounded pretty stoked about it haha Later that nigth i found out that im going to Bentonville, Arkansas! All i know is that its a city and i love me some city!
Sunday October 28th: Last sunday in Aurora. Pretty sad time at church. Didnt really realize how attached i was to the ward. Some pretty heartfelt and sad goodbyes. im going to miss it for sure. Met with little Zach right after church one last time before i dipped out. Hes a good kid. His baptism is scheduled on the same day as Paul's; November 24th.
So, I just re-read through my email and it sounds like im having a conversation with myself haha Sorry that you had to read that but thanks for your efforts. :) So Utah beat Cal this past weekend during our black out and I heard Travis Wilson laid out a nose tackle...?!?! So...Travis Wilson just lays out defensive lineman like its nothing...? Hmmmm....GO TO SLEEP! haha Great job Utes! Keep it up. Good luck with Washington State. Wish i was there playing with my Ute Fam but Im on the Lords team for another 18 Months. OINCE!! haha
