Bugs! (7/31/2013)



Hey everyone! 

So this past week wasn't the best week ever :(  Nothing major, just not a lot went on. 

I also had a really bad run in with bugs yesterday.  First off we had district meeting yesterday.  It was really good because we had a workshop on how to be better disciples of Christ. So after that we went to lunch at an Italian buffet. Elder Giles had chosen the place because one of their investigators had taken he and his companion there and he liked it a lot. The food was pretty good. I had pasta, bread, pizza, meatballs, and a moth....What a moth?!  Yes a moth! I had just finished the last meatball and in the marinara was a dead moth! I was seriously about to puke!! So I told the lady that they might want to change out the meatballs because I found a moth on my plate. She said "Oh my gosh." and went over and took the meatballs out of the buffet and that's all I heard about that. 

Then later that day, We were over at one of our less active's houses to do service work.  Elder Anderson started painting and I started mowing her lawn. Well I started going around the edge of the yard and mowed by this wood barrier.  I accidentally hit it a couple of times with the mower.  Mosquitoes were swarming and I was getting eaten alive! So I just ignored them and kept going. Well a little later it felt like one of the mosquitoes bit really hard, so I looked down at my calf and it was a wasp! But by the time I looked down he stung me again! I went to swat it away and then I was stung on my middle finger!  Finally I was able to swat him away, but not without him getting me one more time on my leg again!! So now I ran! I got stung a total of 4 times.  Needless to say the stings are super itchy/painful now. 

I love the care package!  The Air Hogs (huge styrofoam gliders), Cheetos, War Heads and Sour Patch gummies were all awesome!  And I really appreciated the flossers. We played with the air hogs and got two good flights out of them, but on the second flight, one of them landed on the balcony of another (same complex) apartment building. We tried to get it, but when we tried to go up to the floor of the balcony that it landed on, that floor was still under construction and we couldn't get it.   

Well I'm sorry it's not a lot this week but I love you all!
