Hey I am glad there aren't any vacations to tell me about! The election was quite disappointing to everyone here. Most people are mad because voter fraud and all this other stuff about how there were some counties in OH where Romney did not get one vote and all kids of stuff so we are still hearing about it every day haha. The other day tracting this lady on her porch yelled at us and was like "Romney lost guys, go home!" I started walking across the street to talk to her and then knocked on the door but she wouldnt open it. We have been doing this like what 180 years now and people still dont understand, its crazy to me haha.
Sorry I am e mailing you today, we were at a funeral ALL day yesterday. The lady Elder Curtis and I gave a blessing to our first night here passed away so we were helping out with the funeral. She LOVED the missionaries cuz most of her family are not members so they wanted to make sure we were there. Thats my third funeral I have been to on my mission. I never really thought I would go to any. Especially people that I kinda know. We had a pretty good week though. We started the triple up on Wednesday. Ill be honest, it's not my favorite. It takes longer to do anything and its weird tracting with 3 and bringing 4 people into teaching appointments and stuff. My new companion is Elder Hicken. He is from Sandy and is actually in President Sorensen's ward. (Found out he is the new stake patriarch) He has only been out 3 months so he just got done being trained. I am the only missionary I know of who has ever trained and greenie broken at the same time haha. **mom note: I love missionary terminoligy
Its a long story with the Subaru (photo below) haha I thought I told you but I guess I forgot. We were in like an alley type street one of our first nights here and it was dark and raining and we had 2 members in the back seat and I couldn't see out the back very well so I was looking at elder Curtis out the side window backing me and I guess he didn't see the telephone pole and I backed into it. haha It's pretty sad when you back into a pole with someone backing you haha. Thats why we were driving the van because ours was getting fixed. I am the driver all the time. Again... You are supposed to get like transfers off driving but I have been driving every day since December 7th last year when I got Elder Buxton. Since he couldn't drive, Elder Anderson got his license stolen and Elder Berryessa lost his, I had to drive. Its ok though I dont mind it.
Man it makes me sick Kris is coming home so soon. That went by so fast... Its gonna be my turn before I even know it. Elder Johnson and Elder Dowley go home in 4 weeks. I am seriously gonna cry haha. I get to see them one more time before they leave. I still remember Elder Johnson and I talking about how weird it is gonna be when he goes home when we were together and it just seemed like the day was never gonna come. I hate when people go home haha.
I like your DVD idea for Christmas! But what is gonna be on the DVD? I will keep thinking of other things too and let you know if I come up with anything. Dont mail anything to me until you find out if I am getting transferred or not. I will find out on the 17th and let you know the 18th. Its ok if I dont get anything till after Christmas. Dont spend more to get it to me by then haha. Oh and Yes! please send me a conference ensign! With some stamps in there too :)
That is so sad about Dads friend... I cant even believe that. Do they know what happened? Was he the one with the girls my age?
I hope you have an awesome week! Sorry this letter is kinda boring. Love and miss you!
Elder Skalla
Dent in the Subaru :(
