It Is A Glorious Monday

Good afternoon! It is a glorious Monday! I can't really focus there's a tv to my left on the wall and the Olympics are going on. Two man row boats today I guess haha. SAAWEEET!

I am downloading all of my pictures to my flash today so I can send you a card. after you get it you can probably delete it, I'll let you know in my letter. The work is going great and we have some good news! We are getting 20 missionaries in this transfer so we might be getting sisters back in the Salem ward. That would be such a relief, we would be able to focus on other aspects of the work that have been neglected a little. Our responsibilities have been stretching us thin as of late. I feel like we don't blink from 6:30 am till 10:30 pm.

Daniel was avoiding us for about a week, but we made a surprise visit to his house and had an hour and a half lesson on how he's not done looking because he has felt the spirit and can't give up yet. He's scared because he is tied up in the ministry of his church and he might be finding out that ours is true. He didn't say that but he definately can't give up yet. We won't let him!

I don't know what to say this week. We have been slacking in our planning, but that's because things come up all night long that need to be taken care of. There is a rule that the mission began to enforce a while ago that the phone can't be used in the car at all, not even by the passenger. If you have a third companion in the back seat, they can use the phone. Do you know how many calls that means we have to wait to make? We sometimes come home with 5 or six calls that have to be made that have to wait until we have an idle moment, which is after 9 o clock. Usually it's only three or 4 but lately we have been flooded with problems in the zone. I don't know what the deal is! Oh well, we are going to try to do better this week. Our goal is to be in at 9 and actually thoroughly plan out our day, is that pathetic that we have to set that goal or what? I have been absolutely frustrated about it.

Anyway, I am sorry about the short email. I am doing well, I am loving the area, loving the work, and loving my companion. I love you guys too! Thanks so much for your support! I can only send one sd card because I only got one downloaded today but I will be sure to send it. Thanks!

Love,
