Hello! Another week has flown by here in the California Fresno Mission and things seem more and more the same every week. As for business, I am not sure I have anything other than that I will probably buy clippers today so that I can continue to cut hair. I am doing well. It is very good to hear from you all each week and I encourage you to keep living the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
Tuesday was good day. It was transfer hubs that day but we didn't have to go to them so we stayed and we worked. We visited some people and tried to teach some people, and probably did teach some people, but I honestly can't remember.
Wednesday we went to Fresno for my Dermatologist appointment. I learned lots of good things about my skin. The main thing that I learned is that I have crappy genetics, thanks Mom and Dad! Not really. But basically my skin genetically has problems holding water so what that means is I have to create a barrier. So every time I get out of the shower I "Grease the Monkey" or rub a ton of ointment on all of my really bad skin parts and then lotion on the rest of my skin. When all the breakouts clear up I am just supposed to cover my body in a really strong lotion like Cerave. It has actually been working pretty good so far. The man at the end of the appointment gave me 80 dollars, which had to have been out of his pocket, but he said that it was consecrated lotion money so that's what I will use it for.
Thursday was another normal day, and so was Friday pretty much as well, so I will just skip those and tell you that I did missionary work those days and can't remember if I did anything cool. I will probably remember something I did later on and then be like "Oh dang, I could have wrote about that" but oh well. I need to start making a list.
Saturday we went out to this house that a member is flipping in Exeter and did a lot of work for him. It was really cool. I learned how to dry wall, or at least that basics of it, so I picked up another skill to use outside of the mission.
Another cool thing that I did, that I just remembered, is that I caught two black widows with my companion in our mini backyard that we don't have time to upkeep. It is really disgusting back there so we went back to remove the spider webs by spraying them down with Tilex. It was fun. We named them Mamba and Jimmy and then one fell in there that was already dead. That was some other type of spider so we named him Little Dead Homie.
Sunday was good as well. We had church which was good. I realized that if I ever get put English speaking, or when I go home, it is going to be very strange for me to go to church in English. Sacrament meeting just seems normal in Spanish now.
I love you all a lot and I hope that everything goes well with you this week. I will be praying for you just as you pray for me and I wish you the best. I recommend that you read the new book the church has released called Saints I have finished the first 20 chapters and I hate putting it down.
Love,
Elder Murray
