Sept 17th - The Bush Balrog

Dear Family,

This week has been pretty great. For business stuff, I don't have that much this week. I am doing pretty good and it is finally starting to get cooler this week. Also my best friend finally wrote me which is awesome! I am looking forward to receiving the package and I wish the best of luck to Dad. I think this email will be pretty short this week. I am kind of sick of writing about the same stuff pretty much every week, so I am just gonna hit the highlights.

So this week has had some good highlights. We had a Zone Council meeting this week which is something that they just started doing here in Visalia. I don't really know how helpful it was, but we learned about the Spirit, the power of the Atonement and repentance. It was pretty cool. 


We went to ice cream with the Zone Leaders from Selma because one of them was my companion's trainer and they come down to Visalia for doctor's appointments every once in a blue moon. The one that was my companion's trainer was also my last Zone leader and I like him a lot, so it is fun to see him. 

I finished the Saints Volume 1 book this week which is pretty crazy. I kind of just read it like every night right when I came home because it was really good, so I finished in about two weeks. 

We had the chance to go back out to that house I talked about in Exeter and I did some more drywall and then we attacked this huge huge bush tree in the front yard with a truck and a chainsaw and a rake and some sticks. I called it the Bush Balrog because it was just a huge dead bush and at one point we were fighting it with sticks. It kind of looked like somewhere that a creepy witch would live. 




Other than that, this week was pretty normal. We did good missionary work and talked with people. I am still working out most mornings at the gym which is cool. I bought a new watch today because my Wal-Mart Sweetster is getting pretty old so I got another Wal-Mart Sweetster. Send me questions to answer next week! I love you all have a great week.

Love,
Elder Murray
