Free Pizza, Soda, Sandwiches and Breadsticks! Oh, the life of a missionary!


We haven't heard anything about our visas yet... I am pretty sure that we won't hear anything about them until we get them and at that time will be pulled out and sent to Argentina, but I'm not 100% sure, haha they don't tell us anything. Tell Grandma not to worry I did get the money and tell her thank you very much for it! Also thank the Webb’s for me! I was able to replace the items that were taken away and I bought the things that I needed mostly with the first weeks allowance but I think I used the card for a little of it, but the point is that I have everything that I need!

My knee still hurts I bought a band made specifically for it and have been wearing that and it helps but you are only supposed to wear it for 2-3hrs at a time. Sister Cook (mission pres. wife) said that I need to stretch it, ice it, take Ibuprofen, and not run until this Thurs so that is what I have been doing. I hope it gets better soon! On Saturday (which is our car fast meaning we don't use the car) my knee started hurting a lot from walking all day so it really needs to get better before I get my visa because once I get to Argentina it will be walking all day every day, haha

The weather has been great here! Only two days where it was rainy and cold but the rest have been perfect!! It's awesome that Emily and Nathan are doing great in polo; I wish I could watch them play! The car video was cool; it looks like a really cool course that you guys have made for it! I wish I could be there and do that too! I don't know if there was sound to the video though because we email at the library and don't have audio, I'll see if I can get headphones and watch it when we do our Mormon.org thing this week because we usually have headphones for that.
Walking a chicken! What?
I'm excited to get my package! I hope I get it today! I don't know exactly what day the zone leaders pick up packages and distribute them; I'll have to ask today at district activity. I hope I get some mail, it has been a lot more lonely here than at the MTC. I was used to being able to get mail everyday not once a week.
I got the pictures I have on dropbox. I should be able to take a lot more this week but all the ones that I have for now that I hadn't sent already are on dropbox!

 

This week has been interesting, ha-ha On Thursday a guy named Russ who is an inactive member here called us up and was like; do you guys want to go to Red Brick oven Pizza today? so of course we said yes and he kept calling us talking about how he was getting it for free and was trying to get all these things like lasagnas and drinks and all this crazy stuff for free too, haha. He sounded all sad when he called us for the last time and said he could ONLY get us free pizza, soda, sandwiches, and breadsticks, haha. It was really good pizza! It was all gourmet and fancy pizzas and we got this meat lovers one and he had us all get a sandwich too (which were huge and delicious) then he ordered breadsticks and somehow got all of this for free for us, haha. Then like half way through the time there he got a call from his wife on the pizza place's phone (not his cell phone which he had been calling us from) from his wife saying he needed to come to the hospital and take care of their newborn baby. The whole thing was a little strange but it was really good and really nice of him. I thought it was really weird that his wife called him on the pizza places phone though, haha and now Elder Feinauer won't stop saying that I'm paranoid. I don't see the correlation because all I said was that it was weird but whatever, haha

Oh, and there is a Chick-fil-a near us but not in our area! :/ We passed it the other day when going somewhere in the Hermana's area! I really want to go there and we might be able to get permission from the zone leaders to go there one day! I really want to before I go to Argentina! It is actually quite close to us but the boundaries are set up weird so that a street that is right by us is the boundary between us and the Hermanas.

This week we have been teaching a lot of different people. A lot of the are Jehovah’s Witnesses (or Jdubs as Elder Feinauer calls them) and so it makes it very difficult to get them to see any other way then their own religion. One guy that we are teaching S, we extended the invitation to be baptized and he said that as long as when he prays about our message and receives an answer that it is true he will get baptized! It was so cool! Also I was the one who got to ask him if he would be baptized so that was really cool!

It is kicking me off soon so I will send this message and try to write more too, haha

I love you guys sooo much!!
