09/28/2009 - Week 20


Nathan and Elder Queen

It has been a crazy week! It started with meeting with the nonmember friend, Lauren (from last weeks letter) on Monday. I gave the baptismal invite on the first lesson like a good obedient missionary and goofed it up bad. It was my first lesson with members present. Luckily the spirit was very strong, and she let us come back and teach her on Friday. She also went to the Relief Society Broadcast. That is really exciting! She is living out of the Mission, except for on the weekends, when she is here taking care of her Grandparents. We will keep teaching her on the weekends.
To continue, Wednesday, I was on exchanges with Elder Tuipulotu and got to drive in his area. That was fun!!!... until we had to fill up with gas and he put in diesel. oops. Goofy, green ,New Zealander Elder. Then, on Thursday ,I gave myself a hair cut to 3/4 inch. After, I asked Elder Queen to clean up the back hairline with the buzzer. He took it and buzzed off a line of hair up to my ear line. WHAT... so Elder Tuipulotu worked really hard to tapper it. Long story short, I have really short hair, now. Then, I went on exchanges in my area with Elder Hill on Saturday. Oh, and my bike is making strange sounds. Today, I just went to the bike shop and got it checked out. They say something is stripped and it will cost me 70 dollars to fix it. EXCITING WEEK!!! I love the people we are working with, but it is tough not having much to do. I will be happy with whatever happens.
