Week 61

Sorry that im typing a little slower today. Some bug a couple days ago bit me on my right middle finger, and it swelled up like a balloon, and hurts like the dickens.

I will be home in less than 9 months. If someone gets pregnant today, I will be home for the birth!

Yes, it happened! I went on divisions with the èlder Robert Paul Baskin. It was a blast. He doesnt manage his sector very well, and still doesnt know how to speak spanish, but he sure is trying!

Just kidding, hes doing great! We had a blast going on visits with this one member, and then we went contacting. It was probably one of the best days of my mission. Behind the first day that me and Elder Hutchison met FAnny. Anyway, going on divisions with Paul really made me realize that Utah is awesome, and that I love my family and friends. I had never realized that before. Just kidding. I had always knew it, but being with him rekindled the flame. Well... kindled the burning forest fire thats there.

Thanks for being so awesome, gang!

The missions going great! The zone is a bit of a black hole if you want to be obedient, but whos counting?! Elder BAlcaza is awesome. We really get along very well, and he likes to work.

The 9 year old girl who were working with will be baptized on 2 december, so thats awesome.

We just had a multizone conference yesterday, and because of that, im writing to you folks today. The conference was AWESOME! I love listening to Presidente Talk. And the other missionaries. I just love feeling the Spirit, and I love learning from other people. We talked about a lot of missionary stuff. Mostly having a higher quality of teaching. 50% of the mission has less than 6 months in the mission, so its just a lack of experience that were trying to make up for. Its really weird that im one of the most experienced in the mission.

During the conference, they were trying to get us psyched to do exercises in the morning, so they had 2 elders to a pushup contest. And i was selected... crap. It was technically a tie, but im pretty sure that I lost. I did probably 50, and Elder Eddenfield probably did 60. But it was timed, and we were going both for the same amount of time, but he was going faster. So that was fun.

There have been like 3 people who have told me that the US congress declared the 3rd world war. Im pretty sure that its a lie.

I love you all.

Elder Emil
