THEY CALL ME "QUAIL SLAYER"

They call me “Quail Slayer”

Hey everyone this week has been insanely busy.  We taught 32 lessons this week so we were just running from appointment to appointment and taught a few new people for the first time. WE had 5 investigators at church just in one ward which is pretty insane! Today for Pday we are going to the trampoline place in Meridian and then going fishing, eating dinner and having a lesson with a family we are teaching, The Borens, they love us so much its awesome! Been getting into great shape by running like 2-3 miles every morning but my right leg has been giving me some severe pain and my left leg feels completely untouched so I will be going to get it checked out later this week, hopefully they can figure out what the deal is. Well I have to go.  I'm at the public library and they only give you thirty minutes if there is a large group, hopefully next week I can write a longer email )=.

 Oh and about the title, I literally hit probably 4 quail in the car and shot one with a slingshot from like a mile away it seemed like, dont worry i repented.

MATTRESS IN THE ROAD

Mattress in the Road

Hey everyone, this week has been an interesting one for sure. And it has gone by so fast, its hard to believe we are starting week 3 of this transfer now! The title for this email came when we were helping the Berrymans go get a mattress from another house to their house and we put it in the back of the truck and us 3 men said it won't fly out. Jessica begged to differ and long story short, halfway home it fell out on the highway so we had to flip around and get it and to make sure it didn't fly out again Elder Larsen and I rode on the mattress back to the house for like 15 minutes on the highway! We got some interesting looks considering we were in our missionary clothes! Also this week we stayed really busy teaching which is always a plus. We were able to find 3 new people to teach but we had to drop a few people they just weren't putting any effort into it sadly. Today for P-day we are hanging out at the Clovers and playing on the playground and stuff then we are going fishing and teaching and eating with a new investigator family tonight so that will be super fun! I haven't been fishing in forever. We also got news this week that we will be getting a new car within the month which is awesome because our Malibu is crap! Other than that when we went shopping last week somebody paid for our groceries which was super nice! Other than that not much else I can think of kinda pressed for time today.
