Hey everyone,

Tell grandma how much I love her and that I will be praying for her and I am fasting right now. She is the greatest grandma anyone could ever have. We are going to the temple today and I will be asking for a special blessing for her. I love her so, so, so much and I can't wait to see her when I get back. 

This week has been alright. My comp is starting to laugh a little more and joke but not much. Most of the time he is straight faced and doesn't really join in on our conversations. One day we had study at 710 so I was taking my time and went to brush my teeth. I guess he said something to Nelson like "Draper better be ready in 2 minutes" because he thought it was at 7. So, Nelson just said "Dude, just calm down. Its at 710 today." The rest of the day he didn't really talk to much and was mad at Nelson. I have talked to Nelson about him and he has the same views about him as I do. I'm pretty sure Ngatuvai does too but he keeps most of it to himself. He has said some stuff but not much. I am trying to get along with Udall better. I get along really well with Ngatu and Nelson. 

Nelson reminds me a lot of Andy. He's skinny, sings all the time, and makes cheesy jokes a lot. I am really glad I at least have them in the room. The rest of my district is pretty cool. They are odd sometimes but we get along pretty well too. Oh, Udall was mad another day because we didn't want to get dressed in church clothes because it was service day. So we had to get a sack breakfast instead of the cafeteria. I want to be in normal clothes as much as possible. 

I have been sick the last 3 days. It's just a cold but its really annoying. My nose is runny all the time and is all red and dry now from having to use so many tissues. 

We have gotten Adrianna to commit to baptism. So there is some progress going on there. The lessons seem to alternate from bad to good. Our second lesson went amazingly well. It was a pretty cool experience. Somehow we were coming up with words and it was flowing great. We taught about the restoration and had her read it and for some reason I thought I should say "Mucho agradecido" I'm not sure if thats correct Michael but thats what I said. Then she started talking to Udall and after a sentence or two, she turned back and said "Quien agradecidos." I didn't know exactly what to say at first but I ended up saying something like "Mi familia vivir eternas...muy especial." It was awesome and I will always be grateful to "Adrianna" for asking me why. I'm sure "someone" was helping us out through that whole lesson. Again, Michael I don't know if its correct Spanish but that is what I said, haha. 

I played volleyball again did pretty good. Our Zone leader was being a huge jerk to one of the people in his district. The day before the ZL spiked the ball in E. Cox's face and he got a little bloody nose but was fine. I'm thinking they were making fun of him through that day til we played last night. They kept trying to aim for him and making fun of him. It looked like one of them tipped it and it went out so E. Cox asked if he did. Then the other guy just yelled at him and told him to get some glasses. So, I said I thought it was tipped also but he didn't hear me. Then I kept hearing E. Cox say stuff under his breath like "Come on guys just knock it off. I'm sick of it." So I went and told him I thought it was tipped also and that they were being "jerks". I hope it has stopped. They were not acting like they should be espescially as ZL. I did block one of his spikes, which made me feel pretty good, seeing as he is about 6'5" and can jump. If they do it again, I will say something to them.

Well, over all it was a good week. Days definitely go long over here and I have already had the "Groundhog Day" complex. Sorry if I missed some questions you wanted answered. I'll try and answer them next week. Just remind me what you want to know. 

I love grandma more than she could ever know.

I love you all,

Aaron
