Thank you for letting me know all of this, wow there is a lot happening, i wish i could be there to help.
Things here havent been the best either. Im doing great and all, and having a blast with Elder Call, BUT non of our investigators are making the time to meet with us. OUt of these past 3 or 4 weeks we have had 0 lessons with investigators. Its horrible. but we have meet a couple of new people who will hopefully meet more and seem more interested. We will see.
Well the glow in the dark stuff was in the shape of music notes, i was cutting them into smaller shapes to look more like stars, my finger got to close and i snipped a chunk off the tip. It bled for like a day and a half, wasnt to bad. i have pictures so you will see when i send this memory card home. But it was worth it, all 4 walls and the ceiling are covered. It helps me fall asleep fast. Its like im out camping i love it, and miss the real thing.
Yesterday we had a member give us some corn, when we were husking it to eat it we found a catapiller. We made a little cage for it and feed it and named it うんち くん which like little poop i think. Ive never seen a bug poop so much, but we want to see what it turns into. I am also making giant origami when i have time, its really fun and cool looking, ill take pics for ya. cant wait to show you how to make them.
Cant wait for the mountain man pics, i hope the send some soon. Well im sorry all that is going on and thigns are getting rough. I know that when satan sees that things are going good, he picks things that will brings us down fast. For you it seems like family things, for me its investigators not meeting with us. But i found this scrip the otherday which i like a lot 2 Nephi 22:2. Its great
By the way i have finally finished the new testament. I have started the book of mormon over again and am looking for certain things when i read, and i will probably start the old testament soon.
Some cool news. I was planning on writing sister glenn a letter the other day, because my comp came out the transfer before her and had her address. Well the next day, i got a letter from a girl that was in my district at the mtc and she is companions with sister glenn now, i sent them a letter and hope to hear from them soon, but i thought that was awsome.
I love you and miss you all so much and pray for you daily!
LOVE YOU

PS. This area is rediculous, we have to travel for zone conference and district meeting each week, so i had to get some personal money out to help us travel, and when i say us i mean me and the comp. His card expired and his parents havent sent him the new one yet, so he had no money and we couldnt miss zone conference. So thats where a lot of the money has gone. Once im out of country areas i dont think i will pull out of personal as much. Sorry, im really tring not to spend it

sorry the comp was messed last week. All i really had to say is that i cut my finger decorating our sleeping room with glow in the dark stuff and that a missionary broke my camera, but gave me his since he was going home. So i have a better camera, and a ward member fixed me old one. So i will sell one of them.
I only got pictures of breggie, she is huge now stop feeding her, colby and kira. Well i hope Jeff is doing better. That really sucks for him. Breggie looks like she has grown up so much already since i have left, its crazy.
The weather here has been retarded!. It rains somedays, is super hot and humid somedays, and is perfect somedays. Right now im feeling kind of sick cause its been such drastic changes the past week.
Kind of random, but i thought it was funny, i was complimented on my upper body muscles (well mainly my shoulder and back muscles) My ward mission leader gave me a shoulder massage and said they were big. Then i got asked if i was ever part of the military... ha i guess doing 10-15 pushups in the morning and at night for a month have changed how i look ha.
Things here are going ok. It is so hard here, this area would be better if sister missionaries were here cause there are at least 3 times the number of women than men. But we try hard! We actually met with a past investiator of a couple years. He met us for the first time, then the next day ask if he was able to get baptised, so that was really cool. And we are still working with the family and college student but they are always so busy :(.
My companion is from Hooper, Utah. Close to ogden i think. No i havent had any new kinds of food yet, but i have realized that the only sea food that i like is squid (not octopus) and shrimp.
Other then that we are trying hard to find people. We are trying different ways to talk to people in diferent situations, so we wont get rejected as much. This is just a tough place.
I let you know when more happens...OH next tuesday is a holiday, so i will be emailing on wed, well tues for you
I love you!

WEll im staying in mito. My companion is named elder call. American, from utah. he has been out a year. He is senior comp, i dont know how long i will be working with him, hopefully more than 1 transfer. i dont want 5 different comps in 5 transfers thats really getting to hard for me. All the other missioraies that have heard ive had so many comps thinks its ruff also. OH i found out that one of the brazilians taht i roomed with in the MTC is going to be in the same district this transfer, im excited about that. Im not sure what else you want to know.
This email is going to be kinda short cause we have to by food and stuff before our pday ends.
Teachihng has slowed up a bit, but we are going to try and set up appoinments this week. It was kinda cool, on the way back to mito today, we had to switch trains and we had some time inbetween the switch, so we went to a vending machine. My comp wanted to buy some water and there was tea next to it. He pushed tea by mistake, then went back and bought water. Well i told him to give the tea to the guy behind us. WELL that guy had met the missionaries before, could speak english, gave us his name and number and wants to meet with us. I thought that was awsome. Ive realized at the end of this transfer, 8 months will be down. That kinda shocked me when i realized that, im so close to a year mark already!?
I do keep everyone in my prayers. I would love to write guy a letter, so if i could get his address that would be awsome.
AS for the box. any goodies that you want to through in is fine. cereal, shaving and pants. are the main things OH AND TOOTHPASTE, im almost out and the stuff here sucks ha.
Sorry this is short this week.
I LOVE YOU!!
