Week 98

Oct 31, 2016

The week went pretty well! Every day my companion reminds me how many days I have left haha. He goes home 3 months after me. I think that he is getting more nervous than I am though its pretty funny. On Tuesday of this past week I started getting pretty sick. My throat started hurting and then I got a really bad headache and then I got a fever etc. it was terrrible. I'm better now for the most part. Except that my throat is still sore and it sounds like I've been smoking for like 30 years because my voice is gone. Which sucks because I have to give a 90 minute training every tuesday for the missionaries here haha! Oh well though. 

Ernesto from Carson was out here in Elko working for a couple days so he gave us a call. It was pretty fun. While we were with him he called one of my old companions (Tex also trained my current companion) from when I was in Carson, Elder Teixeira (thadeus is his name) and that was funny. He was video chatting us during lunch and then he was like hey i'll introduce you to my girlfriend. then she wasnt home but her roommate was and he started walking away and I said 'WAIT! you didn't even introduce your girlfriends roommate to my companion!" So he ran back and she gave her email to him to give to my companion Elder Denton it was super funny. 

Another funny thing. Some people around here knew I am going home soon buttttttt on sunday like 5 people threw me under the bus and announced it to our entire branch sooooooo that was awkward haha. the cat is out of the bag I suppose :p 

On Friday we ate 5 meals. breakfast, lunch. Right after lunch we went to a part member families house and she made sandwiches. We went out to Olivas house who is getting baptized in 5 days and after the appointment ended at about 4:10 she said she made some food for us and I was like crud! because we had dinner at 5. It was so much food that day. 

That same night, Melo and my companion got into an argument over something stupid while I sat there and stayed silent and then Melo asked why I wasnt talking and I simply told them that it was pointless to argue because thats not how jesus taught and you cant argue and have the spirit. and then they both felt a little dumb and sat there silently for a minute and then we prayed again and started back over and it went well from there. 

Good week overall though! :)(
