Patience is a Virtue

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!
