This week was good. I had to use quite a bit of money on my card this week because the mission screwed up and we didn't get paid the extra $35 that we are supposed to get monthly because of the dinner rule changing. So I had to buy all my groceries this week with my card. Also if you could please send me a new bank card, that would be good. The one I have has got a big crack in it along the swipe part and will probably snap pretty soon. Other than that I am good on business stuff.
This week has been a fun week. We started out the week with mostly same old, same old. We did missionary work and talked to a bunch of people. I am going to hit the highlights and funny moments of this week.
First thing of note was that we did go to the Zoo again this week. It is usually a weekly thing. The reason we didn't go last week was because of DLC, which is a meeting my companion went to. This week I was working in the hall so I worked with some bears, some bobcats, a coyote, two crazy looking birds, and this tiny spooky screech owl.
On Saturday we had this cool thing that we did. We went up to a mountain town like 45 minutes from Yosemite National Park called Mariposa and we tracked with the members up there. I went with this man named Tom. He was a really cool guy who was originally from Texas. All those people up in small towns are characters though, so it was an adventure. We received a lot of rejection and not very much success.
I also lost my glasses at some point this week so I was searching for them for around two days. No worries though, I finally found them in the crack between my bed and the wall.
Last awesome thing was that an Area Seventy came to our little Spanish branch in Atwater this Sunday. He is the area seventy that our Mission president and the Sacramento Mission president reports to, so I took a picture with him. It was crazy. He talked over the pulpit to two of our friends we had brought and he called a member out and told him that the Lord had sent him to tell him to serve a mission. It was pretty nuts. His name is Elder Dorius. I am not certain how to spell it though.
I tried to take some good pictures this week so here are some pictures, some of them goofy.
Love,
Elder Dave Murray
