dear familythis week was a good week. we spent the new year sleeping and my comp at 11 45 got up to see the fireworks and woke me up at 12 to see them. and i just remember i was just so tired that i was just laying in bed looking out the window then i fell asleep haha. he was excited but i was just thinking about getting rest cuz i was so tired haha. the the first of january was not a good day for the mission work. we got outside and it was basically what you see in the cowboy movies of a ghost town. there was NOBODY in the street, besides the drunk people and the dogs there was nobody. but at 12 we found some luck and found someone to talk to, but they werent interested so we moved on then all the sudden a drunk guy stopped us and started talking giberish to us and saying that he cant say that he will go to heaven, then he started coughing up his own vomit, and got it on his hands and my tie. then he shook our hands to say goodbye. so it wasnt the most pleasent experience. haha. and of course you can go with me to elder hollands homecoming with me. he is so funny and such a good missionary. we got transfers and i am actually staying with my same companion as zone leader again. so looks like i am going to end the mission being zone leader for 9 months!! tooooooo long haha just kidding. i like it, but i just cant be as much as a goof off haha which is probably a good thing. me and my comp had a lot of trials last transfer where we didnt get along very well so we said if we are going to survive this transfer we got to get along. then he told me he is kind of bipolar. which makes a lot of sense. because one moment he will be joking around and the next he will be getting mad at me because i was joking around and he got offended. so basically i just got to have patience and bear him for 6 more weeks. i think i will have to do a lot of what the scriptures say if a man hits you on your left cheek, give him your right. so i think i am just going to have to have a lot of patience. but anyway i love everyone so much and i hope everyone is doing well. thanks for all the e mails i love them so much. oh and i dont know my flight plans but i will find out for sure soon. but i am 99.9 percent surely positive that i will get home the 17th of february wednesday early in the morning. so i would buy tickets for the 16th or something. love you
