New Companion

Dear Mom,

Well, about Elder Jensen... He is probably the most strict to the rules missionary that there is in the mission...

My bag is soaking at the moment. I´m going to take it out when I get home today and take care of it. My back... I haven´t made a heat pack for that. I think that most of the tightness might be coming from sleeping. I can´t wake up without a really tight back/neck. I can´t wait till I have my own house and bed and can afford an air-bed. If you really want to show me in a sort of material way that you love me, then when I get home you´ll let me sleep on your air-bed!!! :) jeje And my belly? Did I mention anything about that? The only thing I can think is that I am still fat. :( I did a couple workouts this week along with my stretching. Other than that... idk. I am eating well/ healthily. (Haha. I asked him How's your bag? Your back? and then just because I needed a third one, I added Your belly?)

As far as that other Elder goes... He is a district leader and a trainer at the moment, didn´t get transfered, but will this next transfer because I think they are going to close the area. I should pray for him. Thanks. I only have prayed for knowledge on how to deal with it while I´m around him. We´ll see how it goes next time we´re around each other. I have told President Mellor, so he knows now. Last week I just left him un-named but this week I told him who it was. I don´t mind you asing your mm friends for advice. They´ve had kids go through the same things so they know better from experience than we do.

I´ll check this week on the price of boullion and decide. as far as the little vanilla things that Kayla got... I think that would be awesome! Not that I think you wouldn't do this but just to make sure... Wrap ´em up nicely so the iPod doesn´t die if they do. :) That would be bad.

Worst thing... I still haven´t gotten a letter from a really cool person that has held my awesome sword. Elder Going said that it wasn´t even in the office. I think she may have sent it to the MTC or the CCM. :( That was a bummer.

The Best things... I have gotten more flexible with my legs. I´m thinking it might be possible for me to do the splits by the time I get home. :) And if you saw me try to stretch before the mission that is a 10000% improvement!!! jaja Sorry nothing really extraordinary happened this week with missionary work. In fact we might be losing one of our baptismal dates. We called to set up a cita and he basically told us that he doesn´t want to be baptized. (the last lesson we taught was the word of wisdom) Fun stuff! The wife is still comming along a bit better though!

I´m happy for you that you are getting a good Christmas present from random people you´ve never met!!! jaja You and your mm´s! :P

I have a couple things to ask for... If you could find some spanish bible tabs for the different books that would be awesome. I think I could order them off the mission website but that would take a while and since you are already planning on sending me a package... Also I´m getting kind of low on my Burt´s Bees chapstick. If you could send me one of those with it too... Thanks!!!

So I was thinking this week... Now that you´ve gotten out on the water on the kayaks a couple of times, you oughta take the Sailboat out to the lake!!! :) Ok that is a bit of a joke but I do hope that it´s not just sitting tere for all two years. In fact I really wouldn´t mind if it got put under the back porch or something... out of the sun. :D

Well I hope everything is going well! I love you all! Have a wonderful day!!!

Con Amor,
Elder Heywood
