That fell apart faster then i thought...

I have failed as of lately as far as updating this darn thing but I feel, being on my misison, i can throw out the excuse that i have been busy... exspecialy with my current calling being as it is.  I'll keep it a secret just to be nice and entertaining for all of you guys.  If you guys really want me to tell I 'll think about it :)

It seems communication has come to a stand still with back home... my guess would be something exciting happened on my sisters end with her baby.  One can only hope that everything is alright with her but alas what can I do but keep busy :P

I have had a rekindling desire for graphic design as of lately and I have put together a magnet for sister albright which i will post here when I get around to it.  For right now I am on the road towards there house so I dont have access to the file right now.... But another thing that I have grown to miss is my DSLR... I have been tlaking about it with a bud of mine who skated a lot back home and he has got me really wanting to try to set up some shots for skaters.  which of course as i think about that it on ly makes me miss talking pictures more and more.  Id say its about to the point of having my fam send out my camera... but I will think about it for now.  (just a heads up fam!)

Well my thoughts are scattered like crazy because I find it hard to focus on just one topic while im in the car (especially when trying to keep conversation with my comp who is driving) so sorry once again for a messy post promising a future post full of more meaningful information but that is all this one will have to be... for I have reached my destination :)

I love you all! dont be afraid to send a little hello my way.

Darn Spanish...

Well as some of you are probably aware of I'm not the biggest fan of spanish... for whatever reason it just isn't my favorite language.  And so because of my dislike for the language I, of course, get thrown into the district that has a spanish district leader as well as 2 spanish companion ships... and on top of that i get a hispanic comp who lived in south america for the first 15 years of his life. More often then not they start carrying conversations amongst each other in spanish while i just sit there trying my hardest to follow along but having no desire to do so.  I have yet to find a way to get back at them but I'll work on it.

 

this past week was a lot better then the week before and for whatever reason went by way fast! Which seems to happen as you progress through these short 2 years...  Soon enough I will be back home wondering what to do with my life.  More importantly is what is happening this upcoming week though.. I should find out tonight or tomorrow whether or not I am being transfered and then transfers are on thursday so it is possible that next week i will be reporting from some distant land outside of manassas 2nd.... which I am perfectly fine with.

 

I have made a resolve to wake up at least by 6 every morning as opposed to 6 30 and the reason for this is because of a guy i talked to for a good hour and a half about the power of our the mind and how the first battle of the day is getting up in the morning and how if you get up before you are supposed to you are beating that first battle and the rest of the day you are leading your day as opposed to trying to catch up.  The talk I had with the guy was a lot deeper then i just explained it but thats probably all you get from it so it will have to do.  Hopefully I am able to do it but i have a long ways to go. 

 

Well I best be off to email my Mission Pres. 

 

Tell next week

Well not much to say right now

I'm unsure how many weeks ive missed i know it has been at least one... but after the holidays things seemed to have slowed down a little bit.  Everyone ran back to work and entered into there anti social life never to be heard of again and so forth.  But everything has been going great! absolutly nothing to complain about. 

me my comp and my district leader have be started this insane work out schedual which has been killing me off but been working wonders so far!  Its amazing the diff you feel after you get a good work out in the morning in... Even if it starts out at 5 30 in the morning...

Elder Creager had return and report this last week and from what i can tell I'm not completely failing as his first compainion :P just slightly ha ha.  No he said all good things about me according to what he told me about it which is good to hear.  Hopefully he is as honest as i think he is. 

It is nearing the half way point of my misison and with that comes a lot of thoughts to sort out so if it seems that my mind is all over the place it is becasue it is... I still have a lot to sort out and a lot to change but all that will come with time. but all the while im surrounded by some amazing missionaries to keep me going strong.

Well as little as this is its all I've got for now but at least its something.

Until next week ( or the next :P)
