I am doing pretty much amazing haha, and yes i had a great week! it was kinda a crazy different week because I was on an exchange for 3 days with elder cox from canandaigua and then we had conference this weekend so I was all over the place and then had a nice rest this weekedn for conference! Elder Cox is a nice quiet farm boy kid from idaho, haha he is mega quiet so when we were in Geneva i took him over to this crazy pentecostel guys house. It was hilarious, you have heard me talk about him before i think, his name is greg Jackson. It was so funny mom, soo we meet in the cellar of his house which he calls his "war room". Haha it is called that because it is the room where he wages war against satan! haha he is a goober but a nice guy. SO we met down there in the war room with frank and him and we were doing a bible study of the book of daniel. So that went well and then it came time to the end of our lesson with him and it was time for prayer. So he likes to hold hands, and we were all holding hands, and he starting praying, and he got louder and louder and praising jesus and shouting to the heavens, hahhaha and then frank over on the other side is starting it up too, thank you jesus, praise thee jesus, haha and i felt bad but i couldn't hold it in anymore and i just started busting up laughing during the middle of the prayer! Hhaha and since i started busting out elder cox couldn't hold it in any longer and he started busting out laughing. Holy cow that was funny but i felt kinda bad, so i told him i just got the spirit of laughter and i couldn't hold it in so he didn't feel bad. ANd he totally took that because the pentecostels believe in the sprit of laughter so i was totally safe. You should have been there you would have loved it, soooooooo funny how crazy some people are out here. He is a great guy though, and that kinda burst elder cox's bubble so that was good.
SO new with the work right now is we found a spanish farming family outside of geneva we are working with! I am so happy and grateful, they are from mexico too so i can actually understand their spanish! My spanish still isn't great at all but it is getting better and the spanish people are so nice they help me out if i don't know a word or something. But its great working with Leo and Daniella and their girls, so i am very grateful the Lord put them in our path. :) THe baptism for the 9th however is not going through. It is sad, we went over to Ray's place on monday, he had quit coffee and had been off cigs for 3 days, and we come over and he says he broke, he is smoking again and its too hard right now and he'll have to find a better time in his life to quit... That was tough, i'm not gonna lie, but we are still trying to work with him. SO pray for him he needs it!
DOn't worry about taking too long to send off stuff i'm fine, it is definitly getting colder here but i have bought nice gloves and beanies and socks and scarfs and some sweaters too. So as long as i just get that coat and those garments i'll be fine i got the rest of the stuff i need here. :) They don't have a distribution center here so it would be best if you could get me some and send them. It is totallly rainin like crazy here and last week on thursday literally all our appts fell through so we had to go tracting out in the rain and we got soaked... that was amazing... not haha. We do have walgreens around here, how would we set that up so i could get my prescriptions there? ANd that would rock and you could call the mission office if you need to figure it out or maybe they might even let you call me!
Our plans for pday are pretty much regular stuff and then we are going to play dodgeball, man i am pumped for that because we are going to play with the sister missionaries and i am going to pwn them. haha i'm pumped. I'm feeling great, i get headaches every once in a while but i haven't been sick yet.
I'm praying for sam and i bet things will all go alright for her tomorrow, and it sounds like every one in the family has stuff going on. Drew with school, sam with school, jess with work and trying to find a husband haha, you and everything and my chemical romance haha, joel and kasey with a baby, and tarah running in st george like crazy. Thats good you guys are keeping busy and that's amazing. My favorite talk of conference mom was the one from Pres Monson on sunday morning, and the Uchtdorf one from saturday. you should read it, it is about maing our lives more simple and just focusing on the basics. it is an amazing talk. ANd i am glad you hung out with megan, :) haha that always makes me happy! Well i love you so much mom and things are going great here and i'm having a lot of fun. I have pills till thursday so if you can send those off soon that would rock! Love you momma and i love the rest of you family! ANd give peanut a kiss for me haha, talk to you next week!
Love,
Elder Bobo
