Hey mom! thanks for the email and letter this week. the mission is going great. this week was a lot better then last. i called that guy that i hit and he is doing good and i dont have to pay to buy him a new tire. but im not sure if i will have to pay for damage to the car. it isnt too bad but we will see in about 2 weeks. so this week was great. we got a media referral and he seems like a pretty solid guy. we taught him about the plan of salvation and we are going to meet with him this tuesday. basically everything awesome that happened this week for the most part happened on wednesday. we had lunch at taco bell and went to goodwill on our lunch break because i was looking for something and stumbled upon this beautiful 3 piece suit. as you can tell from the pictures its brown and if you look really close it has orange blue and green pin stripes. it fits great and only cost me 8 bucks. goodwill is the best. we had that awesome lesson about the plan of salvation and we went to dinner with brother rocke. brother rocke is an old german guy in the ward who always takes us out for dinner. this time he took us to this place called the wild goose. it is somewhat expensive because everything is for the most part is 15 or more. except for lunch. i got shark with a lemon hollandase sauce and shrimp on top with steamed veggies and rice. oh and it came with a curry chicken soup. i think that that was the first time a had seafood on the mission other than clam chowder and it was really good. i think that i overcame my hate for seafood here. who knew that shark is actually really good. oh and brother rocke told us that we better get dessert so i had a marionberry cobbler with a cinnamon struesel and whipped cream on top.
something else that we had this week was specialized training where the mission president came down and taught us a bit about how to work harder. it was pretty good. i was going to wear my new super sexy suit but unfortunately the day or two before i realized that the suit started to smell more and more like weed. i figured it wouldnt be a good idea to show up to specialized training smelling like marijuana so i just wore my regular one. i have been hanging it outside and spraying it with frabreeze to get the smell out and its been working so far. i wore it to church and it didnt smell too bad. i think that i might get it dry cleaned but i might spray it with another bottle of frabreeze first. it really isnt too bad unless you stick your face in it so i wont give up on it. its too beautiful. if your have any tips or tricks to get a hint of maryjane out of a suit please send me the info. i figure i might be good with the smell i mean all of ashland smells like that ill just say it smells like that because i have been out working hard. jk. but seriously you run into that smell everyday without a doubt. i dont really understand why anyone would smoke that stuff it smells awful.
so today is pday and we are going to check out some stores. there is a guy that we ran in to that sells awesome drums that he makes i am considering getting one. some of them are about $250 but there is no way i would but that the ones that i was thinking about are around $50 to $150 they are about 3 ft tall and had made by the guy so i think i might get one. some people with dreads ride skateboards while playing them. i think it will be awesome to get one. they also have these things called singing bowls that are really cool. look it up. i learned how to play one last week and they are really relaxing i think i might get that instead or i will get both. one i was looking at was about $60 but there might be some that are less. i will look around. if you could write me a letter telling me what one to get that would be great. i might just wait till next monday. so if you email it might be too late. i have leftover christmas money that i think i will buy it with.
so something else that is happening is all the weird hippies are starting to crawl out from under their rocks now that it is warming up. its nice because it gives us more people to talk to but at the same time its really gross because they are shedding their clothes a bit and they really seem to enjoy hairy pits and legs. but whatever thats ashland for you. anyways i better get going but here is a quote that i think jim can use for ben franklin plumbing " when the well is dry, we know the worth of water" Ben Franklin. I love you and whoever else you might be sending this to and like the people in Ashland say "Blessings."
