New Job

Well I started a new job today. It is pretty grueling. All I do is pretty much sweep and shovel dirt out of gutters in housing developments that are in the construction process so that it looks cleaner, and sells more houses. It is a lot of hard work let me tell you! I have killer blisters on my hands, and my back kills from bending over! A little after lunch, I learned how to drive a Bobcat for the future, and we put it on the trailer, an got out of the neighborhood, and ran over something with the trailer, and totally blew the tire. It was crazy. We spent about 40 minutes just trying to get the lugnuts off, but they were on way too tight. I dont think that Andre the giant would even be able to do it! But it was ok because I got paid to sit around for about an hour, so thats cool. By the way I make $11 and hour. Pretty cool. But its hard.

Im home!

Its weird being in a new house, but overall its better than being at school, and also living out of a suitcase for almost a month! Now I just have to get all my stuff ready like my passport and visa and such. The end

Church History Sites

Well yesterday, I went to most of the Church history sites here in Missouri. We went to Adam-Ondi-Ahman then we went to the Liberty Jail, and then we went to the Independance visitors center.
It was a really good day. We started around 11:00, and got back around 6:00. It took about an hour to get to Independance from their house so it wasnt too bad. We went through the whole tour in the jail, and then we also went through just about everything there is to do at the visitors center in Independance. The sister missionaries that were there kind of used us as guinea pigs to practice on us I think, but they also were just trying to help too so it was no big deal. We saw the Joseph Smith movie there too, so that took a little while of the day too, but overall it was a really good day. We had lots of cool things to see and learn. I was the only one of us that hadnt seen any of it before, so I really liked it a lot. It was me, Jeff, and his friend Danny from their ward here. He was on his mission for about 3 weeks in Spain, and he tore his ACL playing soccer so he had to come home, so he was here just getting better and getting ready to go back. It was really cool. The sisters were so excited that there were three of us who all were about to go on missions. They were giving us pointers and helping us understand some of the things to teach easier. It was fun

Jazz

BRAZIL!!!

Still nothing

Well the mail already came, and still nothing. Another guy on the team got his call today to Rochester, NY. He was pumped. Today me and Jeff went on splits with the misisonaries here, for about 3 hours, it was cool. They taught a lesson to one guy and the other ones just were quick visits that really couldnt involve much church discussions, but they were ok. There was a really stubborn old lady whe couldnt hear that "only needed her bible and nothing else." Pretty funny.

Vacation

Howdy!
Well I am in Hamilton, Missouri with my friend Jeff Durfee, which is another way of saying THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!!! Ha ha it makes BV look like New York or something. Ok maybe not that drastic. It is cool though. They have a lor of property and stuff. I think it will be a cool week or so while I am here. It will be a nice relaxing time.
My mission call is getting forwarded here from BV. I missed it by 1 day. Bummer. Oh well I am not worried about it.
It was fun to be in St. Louis, I had fun with Staci and Clark and my friend Adam, except when we drove into town we were supposed to call Adam for directions, and we called at like 9:30 am and just had to wait around until around 11:30 and we finally just went to meet up at Staci and Clarks hotel to wait. But right when we were unloading the bags in the parking lot, guess who called?! His phone was out of battery and he didnt know where he packed his charger. It was crazy. Anyway, I am tired.
Look for a phone call this week, even though you have been for all last week too!

Still waiting......

Well I am almost completely all packed up, and now all I have to do is get my mission call dang it! I am going to stick around tomorrow afternoon or so. It just needs to get here!!!
