Alright, I have a lot of business today, so please bear with me. First of all, I broke my glasses this week. The side just snapped off, so I have an important task! I need you to send me my prescription as fast as you can, so that I can send it to a member to order me cheap glasses online. The next thing I have is, if and when you send me pants, please send me "Hagger" pants because those are like the only pants I wear. The rest of them are really hot or do not fit me right anymore, also they are just really BOM pants. Also, I pretty much spent all that money you put in my account really fast because I bought a bunch of allergy medicine. I already have lotion and stuff so don't worry about putting in anymore. Certain companions and roommates are much harder to budget with...
Alright, so Tuesday we had our last regular Tuesday for a while. We tried to talk to a bunch of people with not much success, and then we taught a English class.
On Wednesday we had a great day. We started it all out with the Vineyard, which is seriously like my major stress reliever here in the mission. I love Brother Hansen. He is probably one of my favorite members, so I also love going with him. Then I had a lunch with a member and we got some great burritos. We worked the rest of the day and had a lesson that night where the mission president came out teaching with us. It was really cool, he complimented me on my Spanish.
Thursday was a great day. We worked during the day and we gave these two kids that have been coming to church with us white shirts and ties. I no longer have any of my flower ties, because I can't wear them, so I gave them all out haha. That night we had an annual priesthood dinner which was cool. It was in English though because it was for the stake so I felt bad for my Spanish members who could not understand.
Friday was a crazy day as well. We had a lot of food that day. I had a 5 patty burger at this place at 12 and then we had dinner early at 2 o'clock so I had to eat that as well. Then we had this super fun service project at 5 where we ripped all of the shingles and weather stuff off of a house. It took us like 3 hours and we had fiber glass in our arms by the end, so we all went to bed early that night.
On Saturday, the big thing was that one of the other companionships here in Madera had a baptism for a man that I had taught on exchanges one time, who is really super cool. I volunteered myself for the interlude teaching so I could go. My companion was not very happy but it ended up being a super cool thing to go to.
Sunday was a good day as well. We had church and had Jorge and Juan show up. Then we ate dinner at the Bishop's house which was cool. I got a haircut that night.
Sorry for how long winded this letter was. We did an absolute ton of stuff this week. The title of the email was because we ended up giving those same kids that we gifted the shirts and ties haircuts this week as well and so now they both look way better when they show up to church and activities and things. I love you all. I hope that each and every one of you has a great week. I wish you all the best.
Love,
Elder Murray
