Hello Cody
When you write emails you sound just like mom it's funny how that works. (I accidentally signed my email Cody. I was talking to Cody and I just typed in his name accidentally). Well I'm going into the city today to find out if I got my package and also to turn in two president's letters that I have not turned in yet. Even though I'm out of school I turn in my things late oops. No these are just so he knows what we are doing and really if we have any concerns he would like to hear about. Also I got moves call this week. I'm not moving and neither is Elder Johnson. So everything is the same other then we have a new district leader and then district switched some companions around it's really confusing to be honest I would not be able to type it with it making sense. But the really sad thing is my best buddy here in our district my district leader is the one leaving so now my best bud is Elder Johnson which is not bad it's just sad. Oh well.
Well let's see I really don't have really all that many cool stories this week. I'm sorry about that. The real cool thing was actually all just last night. Last night we had a great big sleep over. Which we were not really supposed to have but Elder Williams was leaving. It was my six months mark. And we all really wanted one so we did. Anyways we partied hard. We did Indian dancing and we ate cookies and chips one of the elders somehow got some root beer which was way good stuff. And we had peach rings. And we played poker with cookies and raisins and chess pieces. And we bet places where to sleep. And comes to find out all those years dad parked cars must have soaked into me because I smoked them all in poker. And I just learned how to play. But it was good fun.
I will be sending off my memory card really soon with a video and pictures of it. Halloween is tomorrow which means we are going to be locked into our flats or something. At night people drink too much and it can become dangerous for anybody outside not just missionaries but people as well. Kids trick or treat up to 8-9 after that they go home and the teens come out drunk and they make fires and shoot fireworks. But they shoot fireworks at people and steal cars and run them into the fires watch them blow up then because they are drunk they will beat people up and steal their wallets things like that. So we stay inside nice and safe watching; Barney and power rangers. Yes!!! The good news is it's supposed to be horrible weather tomorrow so it won't be very crazy. When the weather is bad they don't stay out very long. So things are good.
It's funny I was told cultural shock is supposed to hit me right about now. But I think I have just been feeling it throughout my mission but slowly. I will just hear something and feel a bit weird about it, it's really not that bad. I would say I settled in really quickly without any issues. I have seen a few elders struggle with it but me and Elder Johnson really had no problems.
The more I get to know Elder Johnson the cooler he becomes, right now I'm closer with him then Headington and Bruce combined. I think the reason's are because both American, we are the same age, both Utah, both like similar things. I'm way happy to spend another 6 weeks with him.
Oh the reason I said I will see you sooner is because its moving super fast for me. Also my return date has been moved up by two weeks my new date is April 12, 2010. They are going to do something with the mtc's which moved us forward cool huh?
Well I love you all very dearly
