Last week I got a special message in my E-mail telling me my E-mail space was full and that I needed to delete some messages. We are only allowed to be on the computer for an hour at the library we were at, and most of the time was spent managing my mail box. I only had 40 seconds left to write you an e-mail that is why it was so short. Sorry...I tell you what though; it has been an exciting past two weeks. Country tracting is a whole new ball game Compared to the past two areas I have been in, and most of this past two weeks has been spent doing that. After our most progressing investigator dropped us finding new investigators has become our priority. (I don't blame her for dropping us, her husband said that if she "became a Mormon" he would leave her, and we are not in the business of breaking up families.)Some of the highlights from tracting were the lady who "bore her testimony" to us, then "spoke in tongues" (Which, honestly, sounded like Klingon to me). Then I had my first experience being bitten by a dog on my mission. It was kind of ironic too. We had just got done playing with this Big Old Bull-Mastiff who looked mean, but he was just big, stupid and playful, when a little yappy dog decided to bite me after we had already knocked on the door and were leaving. He drew a little blood (not enough to be worried about, mom) but didn't rip my pants so I don't think I will have to worry about rabies. (But Elder Dupaix is prepared to shoot me if I start foaming at the mouth)Speaking of, it seems that every door we knock on someone is sick, so no one is able to talk to us. I will be careful not to get sick, is everyone at home alright? I hope no one has "That there pig-flu!" As someone in Alcoa put it.I know said it last week but, I hope you all know that I love you. Take care and write soon. Elder Joseestimony" to us, then "spoke in tongues" (Which, honestly, sounded like Klingon)
I sent an e-mail to Anthony last week because he asked me about my companions. Sorry I didn't send the info to you guys, I thought you already knew. Here you go... "Just a quick note to let you know...I did not train my last companion, Elder Condie, who is from St. George UT, He was however only trained for four weeks before I became his companion. He was held in the MTC for an extra two weeks because of a small outbreak of the swine flu in the MTC while he was there.My new companion Elder Dupaix, from West Jordan UT, Has been out 4-5 months longer than I have. He is the senior companion. He likes to play Lacrosse, his favorite band from back home is Three Eleven, and his favorite movie is Waynes World (the first one)."
