Aliens?

Okay, so I hate to address a movie topic right off the bat, but Levi said that there were "aliens" in Indiana Jones? Yeeesh... I can see that George Lucas has tried to ruin another fine series with his grubby little hands. (Tell me the aliens weren´t a whole race of Jar Jar´s...) I´ll wait to pass judgement for now, but that might be a sad thought for me to know that Indy might take a fall like Star Wars.

So, this week had some nice low points. First off, everything that we have in our house is broken (the ironing board), breaking (the washing machine), or is in a state of somewhere in between (like the blender. It works, but smoke comes out of it when I use it.) So it´s only logical that something critical would break sooner or later. On Tuesday (I think it was Tuesday. Whatever day was Corpus Cristi), the key broke off in the lock as we were leaving the house. So we headed of to find a locksmith. I knew there was one down the street, but unfortunately because it was Corpus Cristi, (is that how you spell it?) most of the businesses had shut for the day. Elder C. had a baptismal interview to do later that evening, so we had to take care of it later in the day. Anyway, long story short, we managed to find a locksmith who came over and destroyed the lock for us at about 11 pm. Not the most exciting time.

In addition, I feel more like a hardcore missionary, as our little thingy that heats our shower water broke, so cold showers are now my thing. The water heater thing is electrical and attaches to the shower head, so if you mess with it it´ll give you a nice shock to wake up in the morning. But since it broke, I don´t have to worry about that anymore. Yay!

We´re still struggling to find good solid investigators. We worked in some areas this week that we don´t normally work in, but didn´t find much success. We got a couple references for a part of the area that I´ve never been too, waaaaaay at the edge of our area. It took almost 40 minutes to walk there, and I discovered that it´s actually the one rich part of our area. The houses are way nice, and that´s not just comparing it to the house that I live in, now. We worked a little around there, but as is always, the rich weren´t too receptive to the message. As we were heading out of that area, I picked a few of the biggest houses to knock at, to see if we could get people to listen. I´ve never seen doors slam so fast. Not much success with those who have the $$$.

So graduation is this week, huh? That´s nice to here that the theme for the senior all night party is Hawaiian, because that was the theme of mine. I kinda think that is the case with all the parties.

So Sis. Allred´s sister is in the same ward as Elder R.J´s parents, huh? That would mean they live in American Fork, right? That´s funny that you would hear about me thru someone else.

Also, this week in the grocery store they started selling juice of Acaí (that fruit that I like) with banana. I was excited till I saw that it was also mixed with Guaraná. (another fruit). Now I like guarana, but not with banana. But I was curious and bought it, and it turned out to be the worst thing that I´ve had. I feel that now I´ve sampled the highest highs with the Acaí/Banana/Milk combo, and the lowest lows with the Acaí/Banana/Guaraná-- I think that´s it for this week. I´ll keep plugging along here. ´till next time.

Excelsior!
