"Where in the World are we gonna get the Chicken?!"

hello everyone!!! another pday is here so crazy i cant believe it this week flew by thats for sure. so i got everything in my package except for the 2 ties lauren sent me i cant believe they stole ties. but i think i got everything else! i've been having fun with my ropes. i walked around with one the other day and everyone was calling me Texas lol it was funny. on tuesday night i was talkin to el peterson and randle on the phone we do a conference call so we can all talk on the line at once its pretty cool. so i was like i got 2 ropes so im gonna bring them to district meeting and we can play rope the chicken. el peterson knew what i was talking about because i explained the game to him earlier but el randle was like that sounds fun but where in the world are we gonna get the chicken.  lol i laughed so hard it was funny so i explained it to him. 

then we went to kfc for lunch for our thanksgiving dinner. it was fun i had to buy another memory card did you put one in that package? i didnt get it if you did... then we came back to linstead our dinner appointment got cancelled so we didnt have a dinner for thanksgiving darn it so i made some mashed potatoes and that was all i ate for dinner no turkey for me darn it. but they dont celebrate thanksgiving. but there is christmas lights starting to go up in the stores so thats cool i cant believe that november is already over crazy crazy!! elder wilson likes to chomp his food even though i tell him to stop. its crazy but im being patient with him and trying to help him out. when we teach its like he asks questions trying to trick the people. lol so then i have to try and explain it to them. its helping me become a better teacher. 

i drove a push cart down a hill you know the one like on cool runnings ya one of them i had about 3 or 4 kids plus elder wilson on it going down a hill it was pretty crazy! hmmmm what else oh yes the ropes were a hit and the big hunks were to die for my goodness they were good! the other night i woke up and i was cold i had to get the blanket that lauren got for me and sleep with it it was freezing then having to get in a freezing cold shower holy smokes froze to death!! but ya today im gonna start getting christmas packages ready to send home i dont know what im gonna send lol but i bought a jump drive to put some videos on and pictures to send home well thats about it i guess.  i know time is flyin but how long have i been out 4 or 5 months? lol

love ya stetson

"Elder Cougar" stays in Linstead

Hello i cant believe its p day again!!! first things first elder lee is getting transfered to Kingston and elder wilson is coming here. i hear that he was elder petersons MTC companion and he said that he is a nice kid so i guess i'll find out on wednesday! another thing the office moved so dont use the 36 1/2 red hills road address anymore they said just send everything to the po box one. i said well my mom sent a package to the office adress and they said that they can still get it but recommend that you send it to the p.o box ok!! ok christmas list i want some trail mix like the big bags you buy at costco. also a headlamp the one like the one i have its an energizer 2 l.e.d light you can get them at walmart i'll send you a picture of mine that way you know which one i want. ummm some more almond joys and hot tamales and the sour watermelons thats all i got so far just anything you think i guess!! 

This week was a good week it was insane thats for sure we taught 36 lessons we worked our tails off we taught 13 lessons on tuesday wow it was crazy we had to ride up mount evrest to do it but it was worth it. we met a lady that had never met missionaries before she is way interested. we taught her about the restoration and the book of mormon we left her a chapter to read! we called her on saturday night to see if she had read and prayed about the message we shared with her and she said yes and she thinks that she recieved her answer!! so thats awesome! Me and elder lee were just gettin used to each other and finally rolling with the punches and then bam he is leaving that fast 6 weeks has gone i cant believe it!! i was hoping he would stay here for christmas i havent sent my memory card yet im gonna print some pictures off today so that i can have them with me i have some cool videos on it to that i would like to keep and watch but oh well just make sure you dont delete any of them or anything like that. but its been a pretty good week nothing really exciting happened.

we rode by a school and a bunch of little kids ran up to me yelling white man white man asking me a bunch of questions like my name and where i was from it was cool. i got a picture with all of them and some drunk guy jumped in the picture! oh they said that they got my package finally so i might be able to get it on wednesday well thats what im hoping for usually when they do transfers we go to spanish town and meet but since el wilson is coming from high gate they will just drop him off on the way by and get el lee so i dont know how im gonna get it.
