One Month Down!


On Friday was my 1 month anniversary since I have left!! WOOO!!!  Last Monday we drove quite a while to play mini golf, but they were closed for the season, which was a new concept to me.
Our apartment building is on the top of a pretty big/steep hill and sometimes we have to walk up it because we got the amount  of miles we can drive reduced by a lot, anyway it sucks but I am getting better at it and stopping less.
We have two people we are baptizing/confirming on Saturday/Sunday I will be confirming one while my companion baptizes him and we are not sure about the other one.  Also I tracked into this golden investigator (it was my turn to talk so I found her) We meet with her and she said that very morning she was wondering why the last scripture was the bible and there isn't anything more recent.  So she was super prepared and it was amazing.  Since I found her I feel like she is my baby (she has a really cute baby too by the way).  The lord really does prepare the people we meet.  Speaking of investigators there is a lot of really weird people in PA.  And everyone's house except for most members smell really bad.  Do you remember the person in the Big Bang Theory whose name is Kripke and he talks really funny?  Well I found someone that talks just like him.  It is odd also he is afraid of crowds so he doesn't come to church.
Our apartment is filled with these really weird bugs and my companion said that if you squich them, then they will smell really bad and attract more.  So we are constantly catching and throwing them outside, well my companion is anyway they gross me out.  Also at the bottom of our hill we live on is a train and it is really noisy I feel sorry for  people who live by it.  We can hear it from our apartment but it doesn't wake us up or anything. 
I had Salman (the fish I couldn't figure out how to spell it) for the first time when we had a dinner appointment.
So me and my companion were thinking that it would be cool if we had a plant.  I said I wanted a Venus fly trap, and he wanted a mini banana tree.  I saw a picture and it looks really cool.  So do you know where I could get a Venus fly trap or you could send me one that would be cool.
This guy next to me at the library sounds like a zombie, its quite distracting. 
I also learned that I will be at the mission office on Wednesday for a Zone Training Conference so I will be able to get your Easter package then which is sooner than I thought.
Ever since I read this book my companion has (which is a lot) I think it was called "LDS Beliefs" or something and it has three different authors.  Anyway ever since I read it I have become addicted to learning more and gaining more knowledge which is what led me to start reading Jesus the Christ (which every one should read By the way because it is a book that explains the scriptures like none other, you will see when you read it).
Me and my companion have been planning on learning family history so we can use it to lure in investigators.  So that will be a good thing that I will learn how to use it.  Also I plan on printing my priesthood line of authority and taping it to the wall by my desk.
Also if you find my earbuds I think they are in the basket next to the laptops, if you could send them to me whenever you send me another package in the future  also I think there is a green light bulb in my closet that I would like too.  I feel like I am begging for packages so I want to let you know that this isn't the case.  See my companion has a lamp next to his desk and I want to switch light bulbs when he isn't looking. Right now I have to use $1 uncomfortable ones to find Mormon messages and stuff for my investigators.
We ran into this chiropractor guy who was kind of weird while we were walking somewhere and he invited us in his shop and talked to us.  He has really odd beliefs about Scientology and stuff.  Then I mentioned how I have been getting these random headaches and said I had whiplash or something.  And he said he would work on us for $25.  If my headaches start up again (they have stopped for a while) then I might have to see him.
There is SO much road kill on the side of the road in PA.  Just about every day we see some kind of animal dead on the side of the road.  Once we even saw a dead deer.  Speaking of animals there are a lot of animals I see that I have no idea what they are around here.
I have had a lot of love for these $1 just add water  pancake mixes.  I tried putting vanilla in it and it tastes great.  I think I am going to try adding Mtn dew instead of water or doing half and half next time.  And next time I get Mtn Dew.
