Typical P-day

Hey mom-

Sounds like Dads birthday was fun and will be fun. Sorry i didn't drop down for a quick visit like Lauren. I think that would have cost too much for a quick weekend. This week felt like a long day with a few naps. Time is a weird thing. We have changes in almost a week. It seems like we just started. Our mission is going to get a lot of missionaries. President is going to open up a lot of area these next 2 changes. That should be fun to see. 25 new missionaries will be coming this next change. That's just a lot in my opinion. We are going to be down to 9 in the office. 8 of us are American and the one Latino knows no English. But surprising enough we talk a lot of Spanish in the office. You said you just went over Jacob 1-4. I really like those chapters. I think i`ll read them over again this week. Those notes that you have might be really interesting if you still have them. Ive enjoyed watching the conference talks when we have time here in the office. It gets me refocused on whats the most important thing i need to be doing in m life right now. Its been really good.

Hope you all have a great week.

Oh and if you can send me Elder Palmers address to me sometime this week. I wrote him a letter and i want to send it. Thanks

P.S. So you wanted to know what a typical P-Day is. Saturdays we always play (soccer, volleyball, spend time and eat at the mission home, and or we will go paca shopping). In the office we have started to celebrate everyday to change it up a little bit. Saturday because its P-Day. Friday, because it´s P-day eve. On Thursdays we get a package with all of the letters that come from the states. It´s always a huge moment of suspense with us all waiting for the mail guy to show up. Nothing really happens on Wednesday, so we just named it Funky-Nasty Wednesday. For some reason we all get excited for Wednesdays now too, even though we don´t really do anything exciting. Tuesdays are cool because there is a bakery that we found called Bake-Shop that opens up and sells American doughnuts. Monday actually is a dreaded day because everyone of us seems to always get completely slammed with work. Sunday is always cool because we get to see who comes to church and who doesn´t. It´s completely un-predictable and always a surprise to see who comes to church and who doesn´t. Every single one of the millions of people that you talk to each week says that they´ll be there, so it´s always interesting to see who the 2 or 3 are who actually do.

It´s also worth mentioning that we absolutely dominated a soccer game this morning. I will have to say that we aren't that bad for Americans.
