Subject: EMAIL EMAIL EMAIL!!!
From: samuel.crapo@myldsmail.net
Hello Family and Friends,
Sounds like my family had a pretty stellar couple days down in Vegas! Not fair! Its been an odd week here. But first QUESTIONS!!!
1. How are you?
I'm fine! I'll get to my letter in a sec and tell you all about it.
2. Did you get my card explaining who Stanley Izatt is?
I have not gotten the card yet, its probably in the mailbox right now!
3. So who is in Sarah’s ward – the mother of the wife, or the mother of the mother – your letter was a little confusing? Did you tell Sarah?
I said! it was the mother of the mother of the wife haha but anyways, she just called her up and asked and then hung up, no biggy, but it was quite hilarious. I send this email to sarah so i would expect she read it, maybe not... My letters are kinda long... But hey at least its all good reading!
4. Are you still in Tehachapi? When does your companion leave?
Transfers were today, we got the call while we were at Monday Funday and they said that we are staying in Tehachapi, but Elder Pulham (My comp) is now District leader, WHICH BLOWS because now i have to go to the ghetto of Bakersfield for Exchanges all the time! This will be his last Transfer, He's only got a 6 Weeks left
5. Have you heard from Logan – how is he doing?
Yes, i emailed logan, he emails me back, his letters are HILARIOUS. He's gonna try and send me Lava Lava's.
Oh I forgot to tell you guys haha on that package you sent me last week, it said TEHAPI on it hahaha Not Tehachapi haha you guys are so funny. You're lucky the Retard Fed Ex man understood what it meant.
Alright Letter Time
So Last monday 4-11-11.
At monday funday it was pretty funny, we were playing Sardines in the dark, and we were looking for Elder Pulham and he was standing on top of a table, well i found him, but someone grabbed the back of his legs and i was standing right in front of him and he bent over cuz he thought i was going to fall so he caught himself, but then his face hit my head. And it hurt me A LOT, but then he was like "Crapo, turn on the lights, i think i'm bleeding" hahaha! He broke his nose! Like that time i did on thanksgiving! It was so funny. He's been snoring a lot lately...
Ummmm we got asked to speak on PARABLES and that i will explain when we get to sunday.
We cleaned out the fridge again, and cleaned up members tupperware. That was exciting... our fridge gets full so fast! so we clean it out on a weekly basis haha.
haha this next bullet point in my journal says "Companion wakes up like a cowboy" its true though, EVERY single morning, he is yelling and screaming and singing saying "Good morning beautiful, how was your night? Mine was wonderful with you by my side...." EVERY MORNING, its killin me haha
Oh and if MUM would go to ross or something, keep on the look out for some snazy pants, maybe simon should do this... but size 33X34 probably impossible to find, but if you do, buy them and send them my way. I kinda want a chocolate pair of pants, they let us wear those out here haha i want some!
Now Tuesday 11-12-11
We had a pretty good day mapped out, and we had just planned our lessons, and then we got a call from both our morning appointments and they cancelled.
So then we went to Brother Cables house with the Tehachapi ward elders and helped kill everything in his backyard. It was just a little service so no biggy. But he took us out to a sandwhich shop and got sandwhiches the size of my face, they were pretty good.
Then since we were still in our service clothes we went to Sister Moores in the Golden Hills ward and did some service there, that went well, i trimmed her hedges, they look way nice now!
Then later that night we went to visit with the Kings and Heavenly... They are all awesome.
Then Wednesday 4-13-11
I forgot to tell you something funny that happened to me on Sunday. Theres this family in the ward we went to see a while ago, and their son just got back off his mission a year ago, and he's addicted to WOW... and i told him i used to play but he doesnt understand that i lost interest, he thinks its impossible for someone to loose interest in that game, so he always stares at me and nudges me... egh. But anyways, his mom came up to me after Sacrament and was like "Please help me. Its all he does, that game is running his life" haha i told her there was nothing i could do.... he's a lost cause.
We went to the Chiropractor Brother Schall, Made me feel great! haha
Went to Wayne Massey's house and dug trenches out in Stallion Springs. He lives at the bottom of a hill so when it rains, the water collects in his yard haha. So we gave him a hand. He's the Active Investigator we have haha he just needs to quit smoking. He asked for a calling in the church...
We ate dinner with Bishop Munsons family and we ate Artichokes, which were pretty tasty. Never had one before so it was a new experience. And they want our recipe for YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS. so if you could send me the recipe mum that'd be cool.
After Dinnerwe went on splits with the bishop and i went with brother Stewart. It went pretty well. We went and saw a family that has been inactive for 25 years and they want their kids to be baptized haha. Its pretty sweet. We started the discussions with them this sunday. When i was getting out of the bishops car though the other night i scraped my head on the door and gave myself a huge cut on my dome :( it was not fun. And we went to go see a "Less active" but all the lights were off, so we knocked lightly, i was afraid they were asleep but it was only 8:30 PM but a guy came to the door and he was in bed... haha i felt bad. But i asked if we could come visit him... and he said "well... yeah, i'll see you at church" so i guess this guy was a memeber? And somebody had told us he was LA... so... it was a waste.
Then Thursday 4-14-11
We had to move our Weekly planning to this day because we had Zone Council on friday. Me and my companion were getting frustrated with each other, because he kept asking me on EVERY single person we go see "What do you want to do with them?" and before this he had told me he hates it when his companion says i dont know... well i didnt know and couldnt say so... so he was getting pissed, and i was getting pissed...
We took a break in the middle and ate burgers at the Warings. I didnt talk a whole lot there either because i was frustrated and my comp just kept talking and talking and talking with them. I was losing patience.
We went back to the church and finished our planning and then worked on this list that a sister in the church gave us of a wole bunch of less active people and she wanted us to find out the status on them... so we did.
Then we went to the Bennetts and ate dinner with them, homemade Tacos. it was tasty. After that we did some calf tying on a dummy. It was pretty cool, i'm getting there, but Elder Pulham is pretty dang fast.
After that we went to the holloways and talked a whole bunch. It got late so we left, and as i was waiting for cars to pass the street so i could cross, i saw a cat bolt out and get cruched right in front of me haha it was so sick! The cat was like squirming on the ground and stuff after. haha poor little dude.
Then Friday 4-15-11
I wasnt in a good mood when i woke up, you know, because of being frustrated the day before, and Elder Pulham is singing again in the morning haha
But then we went to Zone Council in Bakersfield and they made us do this thing where we right down things that make us feel loved, and things that bug us and after we wrote them down we had to share them with our companions. So that changed my attitude a lot.
After the meeting, we ate at a place called Root Beer King, it was way tasty.
We went home and got ready for the day and ALL of our appointments cancelled! And we had like 5! it was going to be a good day. i was getting so angry haha god has a sense of humor cuz he's messing with me right now.
So we went to an investigators house and talked to him, but we ended up being there for like 2 hours.... man!
But then we left and got some toxic belch and went back to the apartment to work on our Parables talks.
Then Saturday 4-16-11
We ate breakfast at the Leishmans as usual. We Mowed their lawn and cleaned their yard. Then we went to a YSA girls house to help her pack up her things so she can move to UTAH. and then we went to the church to clean it but they were already done. And then we helped a couple move out of a house into a new house so it was a big service day.
Then we went and Visited Tyler And Travis (Recent Converts) (little boys) and they are way cool. On the way their i spoke on the recorder that Pulham sends home to Shelby haha! it was pretty sweet.
We then went to The Bethkeys for dinner. As usual on ever saturday... It was pretty gooooood. Burgers and fries! And i love their dog, Max, i'm trying to train him to do tricks but he's just a big ol sack of love so he just ends up jumping on you so you can pet him. haha. On our way back i was dying of laughter in the car because elder haynie was talking like Mickey Mouse, and he can sound just like him.
When we got back to the apartment, Elder Pulham showed me a whole bunch of pictures of back home, it was pretty cool. His and Shelby's Ropin pictures are pretty sweet.
Then Sunday 4-17-11
We had like 4-5 Investigators show up to church, it was nuts! and then me and elder pulham had to give our talks, i'm debating whether to type it in here or not...
We started our discussions with that mans kids. and while we were doing that we didnt get any lunch.... so it was a long day.
We went to the Johnsons and played with their kids as usual, they are so dang funny.
And then we Visited the Kings and talked with them forever and we stayed quite a while.
Then i remembered what you should send me also. Send some Protien, i think i left some at home, and send my Creatine. Randy Bennett used to do some body building and he's gonna thicken me up haha so send that stuff too!
Anyways that was my week... i think i'll send my talk... seperate? To sarah maybe? Its not amazing or anyting... But you guys might like it.
Anyways i love you all and i miss you all. I cant believe i've been out over 2 months now... Its going by tooooooo fast. But i dont really wanna come home haha cuz then i have to start thinking about marriage, and a job... i like it out here.. its easier! :D But i 'll see you in 22 Months! PEACE OUT MY HOMIES!
