Roaches! Dirty, filthy roaches!

MONDAY - P-days are always bomb, we played some ball and did some horse with Elder Feild and Elder Scott and hit some crazy shots, Elder Field kept giving me letters by hitting his ridiculous half court hook shots, but it was good. We stayed on the computers for a bit longer but only till about 1 or 2 then headed back to the apartment and Tim took us to target to buy some food and then we hurried back cause Fernando wanted to go to the office and buy some videos and then went to the book store, Moons. After Fernando took us to McDonald's on the way back and bought us some food, then we headed back and wrote letters and called it a gooooood pday.

TUESDAY - We had district meeting today and learned about obstacles then went out to lunch as a district, I got 2 letters, one from Shawn, the beast!! and from Cailey! Thanks guys! we went to Taco Bell and were only there for a bit, we came back and cleaned and packed, I called to get an appointment for the dentist and set up for subway subs at 5:30 from sister Shattuck, so the other elders came by and ate subs with us at 5:30. It was way fun, we then tried to go see Barbra but she is completely different now and we are really close to closing the door on her. we cleaned more and packed more as well, not a whole lot, because we are moving on Friday!!!

 

WEDNESDAY - We packed more today, we have so much junk in the apartment its so bad. We had dinner at 5:00 with the familia Elorza and it was really good, had some good Mexican food and talked a little then headed back to get some money from sister Lym for tomorrows dinner cause she had to cancel. Tim came over and called my pops at like 7 or so to make sure the dentist was all good, that I could go in and all that then we went and got blue bell, Elder Dominguez is so addicted to it hahaha, its crazy. we packed more and called it a night.

 

THURSDAY - Long ride to the dentist, Tim almost killed us 48 times and killed others 65 times... we got pics at the American airlines arena and went into the fan shop, drove by where JFK got shot which was cool then headed to the dentist, got all the info and xrays done, the assistant didn't think I could speak Spanish so I just started a conversation with her hahaha kind of freaked her out but it was good. Then I talked to my dad, haha, like I always seem to do when I go to the dentist here. That was really nice, I miss the fam. We finished and went to Taco Bell with Tim and by now I wanted to just get back and continue packing, so we did cause tomorrow is moving day!!!!

 

FRIDAY - Moving all day long!!!!! we got up and had all the elders at our place at 12 ready to move stuff, and Elder Midgley, great guy. We got it all in 2 loads and got settled some what in our apartment with our 60,000 new friends :) the cockroaches.... how fun. We got in and then helped the others as well, dinner at 5 with sister Rodriguez was good then we went to Mesquite to help tidy up the place and headed home, we decided to spend the night at the other elders cause it wasn't roach infested and gross, so we were there for the night.

 

SATURDAY - Not a very eventful Saturday, we were unpacking and moving all day long and putting things where they were supposed to go, so tired! Alergies were killing me too, which usually doesn't happen to me very often but it was bad!! We got a lot of stuff out and unpacked and then also killed 30,000 roaches in the process... so bad, everywhere, EVERYWHERE! We had dinner with the Larsen family and had shush ka bobs! Elder Falk ended up running into an old buddy of his who happened to be companions with elder Larsen, small Mormon world I tell you. small! We headed back and kept doing the same old unpacking and killing roaches. We slept there for the first time and were killing them all night long, luckily I didn't have any in my mouth or nose or ears in the morning YUCKKKKK.

 

SUNDAY - The Sabbath Day!! I love Sundays, so nice. We went to church and it was good cause we got to teach the 3rd hour to all the ward pretty much about answering questions about our faith with Mit Romney and all that's going on, it was way good. Dinner was brought to the church and we took it to the apartment and ate and didn't do much that night, we finished pretty much though... what a week, what a transfer... its been a pretty bad one, but everything happens for a reason, I just have to say that I hate Satan!

 

Love,
