Hey Guys,
I know this is the move week so you guys are crazy busy. Well i will be short this week. Not much to report. Its been kinda a roller coaster week. So my comp kinda is going through a mental break down thing. He as like super bad anxiety and it is really affecting the work. He is so cool when he is in a good mood but is seriously bipolar and something isnt right upstairs. We have been on the phone with the mission pres all week and my comp talking with the church psych. Its kinda insane really. The problem is the work is on fire right now and he gets upset with people and hates doing missionary work. It is the weirdest thing ever. He just snapped one day and started crying. Man why me? haha We are really praying for him though. He just is so self critical and is way to hard on himself. He has done the opposite since he has been out. Instead of loving people more he hates them. We had a day when we did nothing and he was completely happy then when we had a full day of appointments he freaked. Man weird crap going on. The craziest part is the work is outstanding right now so it really hurts me. I feel like he is dragging me down. We had 11 investigators at church yesterday. It was so great. Also they reorganized the Branch Presidency. Man now things will get done. We are really excited. Andrew is doing so good and his wife is totally on board and has been coming to church. Miriam is FINALLY getting married on Sept 15 which is so great. She is so smart and is really reading the Book of Mormon. She was asking some amazing Q's yesterday when we visited.
So yesterday we had a DA at sister Kasinas place. Probably one of the coolest biggest laddies ever. She reminds me of sister Miller and that other crazy lady in the 6th ward. She has so many problems but is hilarious. She cooked great food but we had to walk like two hours home in the craziest rainstorm i have ever been in. Like it rains here everyday, but this was just insane. I have quit washing my pants cause everyday they get covered in mud anyway. haha i love this place. So many stories and adventures to tell you guys when i get home. So have you guys been watching the olympics? Look for david rudishia. We know his family. The guy is a machine. But we are also havnig our own olympics next week for p-day. We are calling it the "Banana Olympics!" We have got a bunch of creative events of course all involving bananas.(my idea) My inspiration came from the office olympics on the office, season 1 if i am not mistaken. Although we have no awesome paper clip yogurt foil medals to present it should be a pretty fun bang up time. Well thats all i have to report. Otherwise, the church is true and i am loving ever minute of this experience!

Hump Day!
Dear Family,
I cant believe this week marks one year in the service of the Lord. I cant believe how much i have learned in such a short time. I just think how much more is to come. I am doing great. The only thing i could use is a few pair of socks. Those ctr drymax ones from adrians. I love wearing them they are so choice. It was nice to see the pictures of the Raptors game. Seriously i think this is going down in summer history."chalk it up." Thanks for taking good care of me with packages they are much appreciated and humbly accepted! My companions also thank you! Matthew is a pretty good writer. We usually stay in good contact. Dj not so much. Tish i have emailed her a few times but she hasnt written in probably 6 months. I wrote her again today. I hope she is doing well.
My knew comp is a ooober goober. Hahaha he is a stud though. I quote a movie and he knows. He likes to laugh and is most definitely not a robot missionary. We have so much fun! While waiting for him i had just a bang up time with Elder Jensen. He is our DL. He from new york and a straight of stud. We stayed up till 5am and woke up at 6:30. Last week we went on exchanges and did the same. Out of control. I have been tired for the past year anyway so why not if i am tired either way. We played a game called "Edward Liter Hands." It originated as a drinking game of alcohol but we have adapted it to our circumstances. So how it works is we Tape our hands to liter bottles of soda and cant remove them until we have finished. And when you finish you have to take them off with no assistance. Man it was crazy. I think you can us your imagine the challenges that were involved. Haha mission is allot of crazy fun!
So the work this week was a little slow cause i was only in my area for a few days. It has been good though. Brother Andrew the one who speaks little english has drastically improved. He has a english and swahili book of mormon and is doing in Other side of heaven style and its working. He loves the BOM. His wife left him and travel up country because he was investigating the church and she and his family called him a devil worshiper. He started reading the BOM over the phone and she came back and said this book has something i need. I asked what fixed the issue and he smiled and said the book! Man it is doing wonders here. The problem with her though is she speaks no english and cant read either language. Yeah its tough but worth it. Sister miriam will have a wedding date set this week and will be dunked soon there after. We doing great. We are working on finding some more choice people ripe for da pickin. Our branch seems to be improving. All of our Recent converts have all been given callings from sunday school teacher to young mens pres. I couldn't be prouder! Thats whats up my side.
Congrats on the house. I am so excited for you! It seems like a potential gathering place hearing the size. You guys deserve it! Way to go on such good deals for the house! Now you know why the Neilds are so happy. They find all the deals. Way to go! Well not much else to report. I laughed so hard hearing about your neighbor. He seems like such a good guy. I love you live in a ward like that! Haha leave it to PJ to befriend a rich middle aged man. This is my report. It is well!!! haha sack religious. I love you all and keep the faith and keep smiling!
