Hi Family,
Alright, well nothin new this week, but today we do get to leave the Cage and go on a field trip to the podiatrist! We have to get his (Elder Lamay's) foot looked at again. He tore some ligaments about 6 weeks ago and its finally starting to look better. He can actually put weight on it again!!! What a feat!!! Anyway, I'm lovin my new companions, Lamay and Ward. Both are nice. Lamay is the one with a foot problem, We call him the golden ticket, because he gets a rides everywhere!! haha and Ward is awesome. He's 6 ft. and 120. Sometimes we call him skeletor! haha but im working with him to put on weight.
We've been in the process for about 4 weeks now (even before we were companions). So I'm pushin him. He's put on 7 pounds as of then and the next weigh in is tomorrow!!! The main goal on that is to drink alot of watter before!!! hahah Anyway I goth both Nick's and Spencer's letters. I appreciated them both!!! Nick, I love you, chin up!!! Remember that always!!! Nothing can bring you down unless you let it, and that goes for the rest of the fam!! Anyway I kinda want some halloween candy!!! twix, 3 musketeers fun size of course!!!! and Mom, I'm sorry to hear that you have gotten sick! I hope your doing better!! Anyway the Spanish is still coming along, any tips? I can undertand everything that is being said, but I'm only one month away from my origonal goal of fluency at the 3 month mark! Times tickin! DAD what did you do to get it down better, drill verbs? or what! I was expecting immersion by now, but that probably wont happen for a bit! Ohh speakin of which, I get my travel plans this week sometime! any ideas on where I might go?! haha its kind of like christmas! Ya know the anxiety. haha I keep sayin Colorado, but my other two companions laugh and then rage, because we dont have snow gear!! or another place would be Florida that would be chill, because its like the best time of the year there right now!!! Anyway, I basically shave my head here. It's new, but I'm tryin to pull off my new look with all the lbs. I've picked up. I'm doin alright!! Anyway, this is about all i got this week! Hit me up on something that is new! love you guys stay strong!!!
