Week 4 - Elder Ferney was here...

Hello!
So this week has been pretty good! Yesterday I was standing in the lunch line with these elders and I began to talk with them. I was talking with this one elder and he is from Ogden. I was like, "hey, I'm from North Ogden!" Then he's like, "Do you know Logan Wood?" I was like, "Yes, of course I know that stud!" (And his sister ;) tee hee) He's like, "I used to work with him at a grocery store." I was like... Wait a minute!!! This guy worked at Lee's with me for like 3 weeks before I quit!!! I just had to laugh at that. We didn't recognize each other at all!!! Forgot his name... but he was a stocker and i was a checker.
Anyways, so since it is a new semester here at BYU we get some new teachers. Hermano Gilmore is no longer our teacher (wah), and now we have Hermano Frey (pronounced like french fry). He's pretty extreme! He comes in and says, "Don't worry about the spanish, it will come! My goal is to make you so converted to this gospel that you will never ever fall away." I am so pumped for all that!!! We still have Hermano Osuna, a short little guy from Mexico! Love him to death!
I was feeling a little sick after that big outbreak last week, but never had it as bad as everyone else. Then i developed a cough. A nasty barky cough! It has lasted for like a week so i went in to the clinic to get it checked so i make sure i'm not dying and she said the cough will pass but apparently i have an ear infection... Okay!!! hahaha. So now i'm taking these antibiotics to cure my apparent ear infection that wasn't bothering me at all... The lord works in mysterious ways. He gave me a cough so i would go to the doctor to discover the early stages of an ear infection. I'll take it!!!
Elder Nielsen, From Roosevelt, UT, Is teaching me how to rope!!! It's pretty fun, I don't mean to brag, but i'm a natural!!! We go around swingin' that rope and ropin' peoples legs while they're walkin'... Don't worry, we don't let it trip them!!!
We made human slingshots... Elder Nielsen accidentally shot his companion Elder Knight in the head with a tootsie roll and he started bleeding! Just a little. But it was funny!!!
The temple has been closed the entire time i've been here, but now it is opened!!! I'm so excited to go today! It's been a while!!! Do you realize that i have been on my mission for ONE MONTH? Holy cow!!! Just 23 to go! It's going by fast!!! The days feel SO LONG, but the weeks fly by.
I really appreciate all the support you all have given me!!! Really!!! Thank you for all the letters and the packages!!! I'm so lucky to have you all in my life!!! We can do all things! Moroni 10:23
Le Amo con todo mi corazon!
