Well, I actually don't have much to say this week family.
Bummer that everyone's sick I still haven't gotten sick yet, lots of other missionaries are getting sick but that's because they're dumb. Elder Bone, for example has been sick this past week. Probably because he used all of his money to buy a GPS and has been trying to live off of ramen noodles and dinner from members all through the last transfer. It's amazing to me how stupid a lot of the missionaries are out here. Bone's companion, Elder Smith, buys nothing but candy and mountain dew. They all think I'm weird for buying vegetables and juice and stuff but as Elder Bone found out I have the last laugh.
Also that was cool that thing in Preston Idaho with Thai cooking. I miss Asian food a lot. And most other missionaries around here hate Asian food and will eat nothing else but mexican food. Of which I've been getting tired of lately. Lately I've also been having a difficult time getting along with the other missionaries too. Funny how Elder Paxman said the same thing in his e-mail that you forwarded to me, that the hardest thing about the mission is getting along with other missionaries. I actually get along with my companion really well. It's just others that I live with. Though luckily we don't have nearly as hard a time as the sister missionaries do. They're always mad at each other.
Well it's the last week of the transfer and I don't know if I will be staying here in Conroe or going somewhere else. I kind of want to go to get away from Elder Bone, and I'm a little sick of my area. But on the other hand I like the ward a lot being made up of mostly South American Hispanics, whereas most others in the mission are composed mostly of mexicans. Also I still have no desire to be in the downtown Houston zone. I'd rather stay out in the country like Conroe, but we'll see what happens. Also that's why I haven't given y'all my new address because I have a good chance of not being here anymore next week. Besides, sending stuff to the mission office is just fine, it just slows things down by a day. It's all good. And I know mom, that you want to hear all of that spiritual stuff, and I'm working on a letter containing all of that.
Well that's about all I got. This week has been dull, I don't have any amusing stories. But hopefully the pictures will work this time. When I send them. It's the new bicycle handle bar and the Mary shrine.
