Another crazy week has come and gone here in the great CFM! This week I shouldn't have too much business, other than that I am very thankful for all of your help with getting me new clothes and stuff. I am almost at a year and the old stuff is getting kind of gross. Most of my shirt sleeves are like black. I go to the mission office tomorrow for trainer trainee so I should be able to get all my packages and then I will be all set. I love you all!
Tuesday this week was pretty normal. We tried to contact people and we biked a ton. It was good stuff. I titled my email "sick and tired of bikes" because my current area Visalia is a large area and it is very hard to cover on bikes. Most of the time it takes us like 30-35 minutes to bike to the area we normally work, which is three miles north, and then we have to bike around up there to see people. Also, my back tire has not been staying inflated lately and I am sick and tired of having bike problems that I have to spend my own money to get fixed. This is the way the Lord wants it though, so I have to just keep doing my best.
Wednesday was a little more of the same. We biked and we taught. We had a lunch one day this week with people we are teaching, who are really cool and like to analyze the Bible and Book of Mormon a lot.
Thursday this week we had interviews with President Mackay. Mine was short. I usually don't have too many problems that I can't just work out myself so I don't take too long to interview. Sister Mackay made cookies which are always tasty.
Friday we had weekly planning and the Ward Halloween party which was really fun. It was at our Bishop's house because he has a lot of property. We got to go on this little hay ride with some of the primary children which was fun. They had Mexican food and hot dogs, which I thought was a weird combination.
Saturday we had a stake service day, so we planted a lot of trees and grass tufts and we had some fun. Something about long arms must help with yard work, cause I have found I am pretty good at digging, haha! After the project, a member took us to get pizza which was really cool so we got fed too. Later that night we were walking because my bike was busted but it worked out okay because we still taught a lesson.
Sunday we had the primary program which was pretty cute but ended up going on for a pretty long time. We had a really good lesson in Priesthood about charity and it was cool.
Today has been kind of lame. We did service for someone this morning even though it is Preparation day, and we have done a whole bunch of errands. Not the greatest day when we are supposed to have fun. I would like to wish my brother Ben a happy birthday! I can't believe he will be 22. That is pretty crazy! It also means I am getting closer to 20. Have a great week family and keep it real!
Much Love,
Elder Murray
