Elder Allen: First Week

Hello errbody that is so funny that the animals got inside of the house! Today is Monday it's my p day. The airplane ride was sweet it was a smaller one only two seats on each side of the isle but we got on and took off they didn't have that crabapple lime stuff so I got pretzels and ginger ale. The flight was like 3 hours long it. Was pretty fun. But we woke up monday morning at 2:30 cause my roommates were going to New York and they had to leave early so I sat around for an hour and got ready then we left.

The tour of the city wasn't really a tour we just rode the " blue line" to the bean and then walked overt to see some water fountains and then rode the " redline" back and the whole time we were passing out Books of Mormon it was actually quite easy. Then we went to the mission home and ate deep pizza it wasn't as deep as I thought maybe cause it was homemade but it was still good then we slept downstairs and woke up and had breakfast and then walked to the stake center and got our iPads and companions and then rode out to our areas. Elder Rodgers is from Washington state he grew up on a dairy farm he's pretty cool every night he gets a 50 cent cone at burger king so we do that now. I haven't gotten anything from you yet and I left my shoulder bag back at the stake enter with my scrips, pmg, and candy in it. If you send stuff to the mission office than Rodgers says that I won't get it for a week or two but if you send it to sis egolf or the mission mom Connie flairhety than it will only take a couple of days and if it goes to the mission office than I have to wait 2 weeks so I can drive over to get it during a meeting we have I guess they don't ship it out to me.

It is hot and humid it's not as hot as I thought but the humidity is a killer I don't like feeling sticky and wet all day but we have a Chevy cruise brand new and it has great ac. They buy new cars and then once they get to 50,000 miles they sell them and buy new ones it's cray cray. The members are feeding us well every night we eat at someone's house but in between meals I get a little hungry probably from being used to snacking all day at work.

We have only taught members so far. I gave my first actual blessing to a guy other than that I have only done annointings. I saw fireflies for the first time a few days ago they are what's good. Uhhhhh I ate black beans in salsa and raw mushrooms in a salad isn't that gross!!! But I actually couldn't taste them so it was pretty good and I was starving so I enjoyed it. There is this lady that looks exactally like the penguin guy on the old batman show she creeps me out a bit. And that's not exaggerating! We have like 5 hours of service a week that's good because then I can get out of my church clothes, but I was sweating like 50 gallons per minute.

We have a nice lady do our laundry for us apperently this place, Hebron, it the best place in the whole mission it's a lot like home everyone in the ward are good friends . Check out this car one of the members is a dirt racer and he builds his own cars I got a video of it running in the garage but I'll have to send it through something else but here is a picture . It's hard to type consistently with an iPad I have a million type os.
I can't send that video yet I need to fix some email app thing on my iPad but I'll get it eventually. So I'm still just chillin so how is school going the summer went by soooo fast it's gross. I ate a sorano pepper but only about half of it we had jalepiño poppers it's a jalepiño pepper filled with cream cheese and wrapped in a piece of bacon. I think dad would like them you should make some. Rodgers is watching a video. He likes duck dynasty a lot jack. We are going to eat at Pavs for lunch it's like that place in Richmond by tires I think. Has Toby grown more yet? How is my dirt bike doing? How is LLP? That's my list. I really want to take a delivery right now.

Okay we'll talk to ya later! Bye
