Hi mom,

Things are going well here in Eugene. Everything is crazy because of finals this week. So all the kids are going nuts. Because our apartment is right next to campus we hear it all night! This kid up the road had a barmitsfah (i have no idea how to spell that) but he was having one for fun. He invited us to it. really he is just a stoner kid who isn't religious at all but wanted to have one for the dance party afterward. But he brought in a translator so he could do the reading for 2 hours from the tora.

Other things that are going on this week. We hiked a mountain for a meeting with our mission president. It was pretty cool but I thought I was going to die because we took the short insanely steep way up. We had a zone meeting that we had to teach this week that was 3 hours long so we made a awesome tower out of tables and Elder Henrie climbed it as we talked about rising to greater heights. My allergies have been destroying me too which hasn't been fun at all. I cant wear my contacts at all so I am sporting my super ghetto glasses. Last night Elder Henrie and I had to present something on behalf of our zone in front of the stake high council and ward mission leaders for the stake and my contacts were going nuts. My eyes were watering the entire time. 

Elder Henrie got food poisoning so I chilled by the window and watched all the people walk by after I did a ton of paperwork mumbo jumbo. There were about 7 people that went by digging in our neighbors trash for cans. One guy comes by every morning around 7 am.

We are working with a recent convert who is in love with my little pony but is also a crazy knife fighter. he quizes us now every time we go over on the main 6. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie pie, Flutter shy, Rainbow dash, and Twilight sparkle. He is going to a convention in washington for it which is ridiculous. anyways thats about if for this week.
