Well Gee There Family!

This week was just swell!  We spent some time down at the junkyard lookin' for some neat rocks, and made sure to stay away from all those clunky girls!  Well, yeah, Chip, this week was great!

Nah, for real though, this week was alright.  We had our ZL's meeting on Tuesday and I suggested that we make a special adventure day where we can all go do cool stuff and go hiking and stuff.  All the other ZL's were way stoked on the idea and were like, "I second Johansen's idea."  Cause right now our p-days are like maximum restriction and we're not allowed to get together with the zones and do stuff cause some missionaries were getting into trouble.  But my plan was foolproof.  The mission president was stoked on it too, so I think it's gonna go down.

Also this week our investigator's mom asked me if I would take her daughter back to America with me and marry her.  She was legit serious and kept saying that light skinned babies look better.  The lady was like mega crazy--we're in the middle of teaching a lesson and she cuts me off and says all this crazy stuff and it weirded me out.  But I told her I was already taken, "My heart belongs to another."  The actual bummer thing, though, is that it totally drove away the spirit and we couldn't get back to the lesson.  Our investigator was all embarrassed and was like, "Don't listen to her--she's crazy!"  Our investigator, Senerita, ended up asking us if she could discontinue her lessons and asked us not to visit anymore.  So that was a huge bummer, especially cause she was our only investigator.

This past week was also my companion's birthday, which happens to fall on Valentine's Day.  For a fun birthday surprise, I sprayed him with the fire extinguisher when he was sleeping.  I think he was pretty mad at first cause I got him right in the face.  Haha, but then he was cool.  Definitely the PRANK of the century.

Also, I got your package.  Thanks a ton!  It was numgnar--I was stoked to the days.  I pretty much ate the whole box of fruit snacks all by myself.  My comp went for the chocolate, so I just destroyed the Welches Fruit Snacks--those are the best.  

Oh yeah--what's the deal with school?  Am I supposed to register or something?  I've never been to college, so I have no idea what to do to apply.  I think I want to go to Snow, but one of my bros over here wants me to go to BYU with him.  See what the deal is.  I'm like 87% sure I want to go to Snow, so maybe sign me up there or something.  

The work in this area is pretty slow right now, but for sure it's gonna start picking up.  There's a lot of less actives and stuff that we've been working with.  We're hoping to get some investigators to teach soon.  But it's all good, for sure.

That's pretty much all I can think of for this week.  Send my love to Robbie, Ernie, Chip and the whole gang.
