Re: Epic or what?????

Wed, Oct 20, 2010

YAY! I DID get the package. and you absolutely right: it IS freakin' epic! HECK YES! a Mario WALLET?! SWEET! I love it! it's amazing. I also love my new chase card. thank you for that. gotta get that activated. I came home two nights ago, and it was just chilling right outside our door. :3 and of course I came right inside and opened it. wheat thins, goldfish, some sweet fortunes (speaking of which, there were some random numbers on those... do you happen know what those mean? ) and some nice letters. :) aw, tell them thank you very much. xD also: that Archie Mcfee catalog was very much welcomed.

but yeah, like I already told you, I'm feeling better. but just not as good as I COULD be. I just need to take eating slow and let everything go down easy, but I'm getting things back together. ha ah ha, and don't worry, president's made it pretty clear to everyone that the only way someone is going to go home is in a casket. xD ha ha ha. we are ALL our brother's keeper. but don't worry about me. I'm fine, and if anything goes wrong (but it probably won't :D ) president would let you know.

so, for ponce: well, we spent a little while trying to figure out if there was public transpo to take us up there... but seeing as Yauco is such a small place, there isn't any. sooooo, after some more searching we discovered that there is two gentleman that go back and forth from ponce to Yauco in some cars everyday from 8 in the morning till 1 in the afternoon. fortunately it's only four dollars per person (it's a 22 mile trip one way) and if we are to take a taxi, it probably would end up ridiculously expensive. so we took the public car. so on Monday we went for the first day, and since we weren't able to stay any later than one because of the guy, we just spent the whole morning contacting in the pueblo square. the people there are quite nice. :3 it was an enjoyable experience. and then yesterday we went again, but this time we had our own car because we had to head up there anyways for district meeting. so we worked the morning in the pueblo and then went to a small area near the beach and worked there all the rest of the day. it was a long day, but it was good. we found this one older guy, ex marine from the 'Nam war, who had talked to the missionaries a TON a while back. probably at least 5 years back. he's a Pentecostal. he told us that when they talked it wasn't a fight or anything, just a mutual share of beliefs. he was an interesting guy. he would probably require a bit of work to get him to have an open mind. -- so it's looking like we might just be going up to ponce to work whenever we have a slower day without a lot of appointments. our next day will be Saturday. :)

so. ideas for you to send me for my birthday. obviously the most important paragraph that I'm going to write. (He forgot to finish the paragraph!)

YAY! Ella wants to come for a visit?! SWEET! so does that mean she's coming in the summer to visit us when I get back? :D 'cause that would be sweet.

whoa! you cut the house number?! :-O so what, are you just gonna be carrying your cell and the 846 # with you all the time? whose gonna have that one? or are you just gonna leave that at home? as for recording the voice message... I would probably say turn the volume up in the home phone all the way so that you can step back from it with the cell... that probably would keep the cell mike from maxing out and clipping to cause all that static... and if that doesn't work... I might have to think on it. xD

oo, Toshiba. well, can't lose with a free laptop, right? :D do they all have built in internet and everything? would mine play games? ;) is that what Donny doing at the table in his hair picture? {:o)

you're gonna have to send me a picture of the house after it's all painted! I wanna see that! :D

so an update on Marcia and Francisco! :D well, we stopped by last Wednesday night and Marcia was out with Frances and her singing class she just started, so we only got to talk with Francisco. but it was PeRfEcT! he felt comfortable enough with us to tell us why he got divorced with Marcia. so we're gonna talk with president and get another cita with them both soon.

aw poop... I'm gonna have to bust a move... it's kinda late now. well, after my email to president I'm gonna bust a move out to clean the car! YAY! :D I'm so excited! I can't wait.

so, to finish: oh yea? well I love you more. :P have a super duper, hunky dunky, big mac, super size, really really good day! :D
