feliz dia de gracias!
this is a mad house! they told us anyone who has p-day on thrusday has to figure out when to do their laundry on their own. there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth amongst those waiting for washers.
our "progressive investigator" this week told us she didn't believe in God when I asked her to be baptized. Weird...she believed in God last week. but on the bright side, we only teach in spanish nowadays. in fact, yesterday i had a hard time teaching in english. it had been so long since i've taught the first lesson in english.
i got 2nd place in knockout this week. my favorite district is leaving on monday, so gym won't be nearly as fun--especially without el Porro del Perdadores. It's because of the pres that I'm up to 30 push-ups in a row these days. the real kind, not the girly ones.
Last weekend h. woff and i had to take hp to the er. we were there till 1 a.m. i felt a little apostate trying to ignore jim carrey on letterman. then h. woff and i went to the cafe cause we were hungry and everyone stared at us. so that's what it's like being on the real world as a missionary? or maybe they were just staring cause it was midnight. we tried to convince mtc security to take us to wendy's after, but alas, no dice.
everyone NEEDS to read James 3. one of my new favorite chapters in the bible.
mattie, your cousin played in the morning devotional today (elder holland brought his whole family). duet with piano and cello. it was AMAZING. seriously. the devotional all together was amazing. EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO ON A MISSION IT IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD.
and, as always--?como se dice AWKWARD?
last thursday, this elder came up to my comp in the laundry room and asked her if he could write her on her mission. she said, "i'm not sure". he was leaving monday. Sunday morning at breakfast he found us and gave her a letter with his return address on it. the letter basically said, "i hope to have this opportunity to get to know you better." ya, way to lock your heart, elder.
also, last weekend at dinner one day Elder buttars (logan's best friend) asked me if we could go no a date after the mish..um...weird...

welp, i love you all. eat lots of turkey, take a long nap and watch some football for me. Have a fabulous week! until next thursday,
H.Russ-izle

p.s. can someone get me ali snarr's address and the cottle's address?


peace+love
