Hey Family,

This week was alright. The district ahead of us got their travel plans. They're missions are all in the US anyway so they of course are going straight to their missions. It is going to be really weird once they leave. The younger district did take Spanish before they came here. I think the most was four years. 

Oh, here is a good story. So Lanham was the one that hurt his knee last week or so. Then this week he sprained his hand in Vball and had it wrapped up. I don't think his pain tolerance is very high at all. Well, yesterday guess what he was doing. Playing basketball! I have no idea what he was thinking. I had no clue he was playing but Bartle and Woodbury told him he probably shouldn't play but that it was his choice. He couldn't even button his own shirt the day before. The first time I saw him playing was when they were getting him into a chair and wheeling him into the health area. I just kept playing because it was just Lanham getting hurt once again. 

Well, it was a little worse than the other injuries. I guess he went up to rebound and landed bad on his leg and went straight to the floor. They gave him a blessing and were thinking that he broke it but took him to the hospital to get an xray. We had no idea what was going on but went to bed. While we were laying there we heard Lanham scream in pain. We went to see what the verdict was and it was luckily just a severe sprain. They said it would be about 6 weeks to heal. I guess he was screaming in pain for about a half hour until the medication kicked in. His foot is pretty big and blue and yellow. Oh, then this morning we all went to the laundromat and he was walking with crutches over ice. He hit a slick spot and put his bad foot down and screamed again in pain. He might be over playing it a little or really can't take pain at all. I don't know.

Lets see, what else has happened.Oh, Elder Holland came and spoke to us. We had no clue that an apostle would be coming. Which is pretty rare around here because usually someone gets wind of something and then it spreads like wild fire. We were just sitting and waiting for the devo to begin and then everyone stood up. It was pretty cool. He gave a really good talk about never going back to the person you were before your mission and that we had no right to let the church and especially the kids down. He spoke for about an hour and 20 min. He had people go up to the mic. and explain what the manner of the spirit was. Everyone was saying bold, simple, and stuff like that. Then Bartle got up to the mic and we were thinking it was going to be something big. All he said was "the spirit is nice" Elder Holland laughed and said well that just about sums it up. It was pretty funny. A lot of people were laughing.

Oh, I almost gave Pres. Brown a high five this week. We were walking out of class and he said hey elders and stuck his hand up kind of waving. When we walked past him he still had it up so I went to do it but right before, he put it back down. I was so close. Well, I really can't think of anything else this week. If I do I will hand write it home.

I love and miss you all,

Aaron
