ping pong

HOLY CRAP WERE ALREADY HALF WAY THOUGH THIS X-FER WHAT THE CRAP!!!!  Alright so STORY TIME HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!  LOL ok so last night the Greenfield Elder's stayed the night in Amherst.  They came down to steak conference and they were planning on coming over here again today for p-day so we decided that they might as well stay the night to save them miles and that way we could all hang out and have a grand old time doing random stuff.  So we have this mini ping pong table on our apartment and we ended up playing on that and creating a very interesting game!  HAHA it was epic so first off we played normal ping pong then we were taking pictures so I stared at a camera and kept hitting the ping pong without looking at it and one elder was like THAT WAS AWESOME MAN so we decided to stare at each other and play ping pong instead of playing like normal.  Then for some reason we got the bright idea that two people should stand on either side of the table and just smack the heck out of the ping pong while the other two people were playing a normal game BUT we had to stare at each other so we could just hit the ball really easy :) so we got some good footage of these games and I will need to figure out how to show them to you all we had a blast and just couldn't stop laughing it was a pretty epic night.  Well other than that nothing new over in Amherst.  Love you all talk to ya soon :)

5 months already

Well it’s been another 6 weeks already, can you believe it?? I cant I’ve almost been out 5 months already......wow crazy to think about.....it's been a tough week for me personally, but its been a good one at the same time.  I’m learning a lot and getting prepared for the future quite a bit out here.  It's amazing at how much you grow up in such a little amount of time when you’re not at home having mom and dad fix everything.  It’s really an amazing feeling growing up.  I hope you all are having an amazing start to your new year.  We will see if I get moved or if I stay in keene another 6 weeks :) talk to you all soon!

Love you all

Snow Day!!

Yes even us as missionaries have snow days.  Yesterday we got Red dotted which means that we have to stay in our apartments ALL STICKEN DAY!!! We weren’t able to drive or anything, mainly because of the "Nor eastern" which really wasn’t even that bad.  Sure it snowed over a foot in less then uh 5 hours I think, but still it wasn’t even a blizzard I could see clearly outside haha. Wyoming storms are way worse and E. Gardner and I were like what the heck we could totally drive in this safely!  o well it was still an alright day :).  As for Christmas it was pretty epic to say the least.  Missionaries get quite spoiled out here.  I honestly think that I got more presents this year then I have the past 3 or 4 years back home :).  Then we had dinner with the Clarks and it was quite fun.  Dinner its self was pretty much thanksgiving all over again but it was really good!  Then we played a couple games and just had a good time.  Other then that the week was really crazy!  We were going all over the place just teaching people and wishing them a merry Christmas....we tried to get 20 lessons but we were only able to get 16, but that’s alright we were still crazy busy and a couple days kind of screwed us over.  Mainly Friday because we had to go to Nausha (which is a 1.5 hour drive) for breakfast, which was amazing by the way, and we had a white elephant gift exchange and I got a REMOTE CONTROLL CAR!!!! haha its way fun to play with after a  long day.  After that we went home and we had like an hour before we needed to go to out dinner appointment with the Schillemats, who by the way is like HALF of our ward, there a way cool family :). After that  we went to Poul's house and they gave us a Stocking filled with stuff one of which was a Letherman and a knife! there way handy :) it was way nice of him to give us that and it's something that i will be able to use for quite some time......just as long as I put it on the suite case that isn’t going to be on the plane when I come home haha.  Well I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and just love your life’s right now :) don’t worry if anything wrong is going down it will all work out in the end!  I love you all very much talk to you soon!!!!

missionaries aren’t robots

How ya all doin :) alright so it’s been kind of a funny week to say the least.  So first off this week was going as normal, but then we decided to do tours on Tuesday night because Tyler was getting his baptism interview (he failed -_ but that’s ok he is on parole for something so no baptism like we planned but heck it happens :) just get back at it and try again) so I ended up going to Nausha NH for the night/day.  First off everything was normal, we woke up worked out ate breakfast and have our studies.  That’s when things started to get a bit weirder :) so first off we went to this members house that have tricycles that are the size of normal grown up bicycles!!! it was actually pretty pimp haha but that family is CRAZY like the wife was showing me all her catices (which were actually pretty cool) and then she started talking about food and i was told that I needed to say MMMMM really loud and when I did she was like "O I got another ones apitate going" haha yup she does that every time I guess and ya there was other stuff that they supposedly do but nothing too odd happened i guess from what I’ve been told.  anyway next we were going to go to this gay guys house who is investigating but I guess he had a huge crush on one of the elders haha but he wasn’t home so i didn’t get to see him.  Then the day was normal after that we went to another investigator and talked with him for an hour had a lesson and what not.  Lastly we went to chase house, he was supposed to come with us to a referral but he didn’t have any clean clothing to change into so we ended up staying at his place for like 5 hours haha (that never happens but its what we did for some reason) anyway there is a huge story to this guy but ill just give the crazy part.  So E. Clemets saw I way to get into the attic and was like "that would be a good place to hide stuff" and chase was like 'o hey there’s a bong up there' at this point clements had gone to the opening and was looking inside so chase told him to get in the attic and go get the bong haha well clements did after a few minuets and brought it down. I was laughing so hard like really did he just get a bong!  then after that chase asked clements about weed and how Washington weed is supposed to be the best i guess (clements is from washington) and he was like well that’s what I’ve been told.  So chase told his roommate to GO GET HIS WEED!!!! hahah o heck yup anyway he enede up finding his weed and the hade clements smell it....after they closed it and put it all away I ended up getting an after smell while we went up to chases room to finish up talking to him about something that was on him mind that I cant spill like I normally would.  ANYWAY  ya it was a crazy visit like i didn’t know what to think but it was fun (nobody smoked if your thinking that just showed us the weed)  then i saw them playing Black Ops on the x-box and one of them tossed a controller to me and i just froze and had no idea what to do so i just told the guy that i don’t think I’m supposed to play, and gave him the controller back.  after that i sat down and talked to the guy...his names is josh.....and got to know him a lil bit and it was good for him from what chase told us because that was he know that missionaries aren’t robots and are normal people like anybody else is :) anyway that’s my crazy story for the week.  so ya hahah missions are very interesting and the oddest things happen that you would never see coming :) cool experiences i must say actually but heck it was a good lesson with chase and we ended up helping him with his issue and what not.  Well there’s a good story for you all to read :) i love you all peace out!
