Week 87

It's been a trying week! But a lot of fun!

Most of the week was spent moving.  We moved out of the Phelps home, and into an apartment with the Spanish Elders in the Zone.  We were told we could move in on wednesday a little bit early, so we packed on Tuesday and got everything ready, wednesday came, we went to get the keys, and the news changed.  We weren't allowed to move in until THURSDAY! So we went home and unpacked the things we needed, whined for a few minutes, and then went to some appointments.  Which all happened to cancel.  Wednesday started out real good though, we had a good district meeting, and then we went to pepe's cafe for a district lunch.  Oh... back up for a minute.  So my good friend Elder Nelson has moved to prescott (By the way, did anyone know that Brother Decker is now Bishop Decker?) we still talk often, and he's probably my favorite missionary of all times, so his mom came to visit this week! not him, just his recent converts and things, so Monday night we had dinner with her, it was a lot of fun.  Tuesday we saw her as well, and the connolly's who the other missionaries stay with.  Wednesday at pepe's Sister Nelson and the Connolly's show up! it was funny, but awesome cause they paid for all of us! I was then hailed as a hero as it was my inspired suggestion to eat there that day. 

Thursday we actually got to move.  Friday we were informed we couldn't use our shower until Monday! WHAT? how frustrating, I guess every time we took a shower, it would leak to our downstairs neighbors...whiners... So this weekend wasn't very fun, but oh well.

We have a less active member we are working with who called us one night in near tears, he asked if we could hurry to his house and give him a blessing, so we rushed over.  He has been having a lot of headaches lately that have lasted for about a week.  In the past he fell off a 50 foot cliff and lived, he fell off a moving vehicle and lived, each time it caused some brain trauma, but no damage.  So the Dr. told him he is in danger of an aneurism and he didn't much like that news.  He was frantic in fact, we thought it would be a good wake up call for him.  2 days later we went over and he was drunk.  Dang it.

I swear I had so much more to say! but I can't remember.  I need to write things down more I guess.
