WEEK 86---Days Feel Like Weeks, and Weeks Feel Like Days

Time is flying by.. The hot it getting hotter.. And everything just seems like a blur. So last Wednesday I got transferred from Queen Creek to South Gilbert of of Ocotillo and Higley. I live in a big red barn with another set if elders. Elder Reid and Francis. My new Comp is Elder Woods from Austin, Tejas. He's 6'3" and he swam for BUY for a year before coming out. He's a stud. And I am the 4th out of 8 Comps he has killed in the past year he's been out. This past week has been eventful haha a lot of things have happened that some might see as out of the ordinary. 1.) Austin.. 2.) The Barn 3.) Super Man 4.) Topher's Dunkage.

1.) Man I don't think I have ever ever EVER met anyone like Austin. He is one of our investigators and he is 1 in a million (in a crazy way). So first he lives with his parents, doesn't shower (He thinks the Gov. is polluting the waters for population control.), He doesn't shake anybody's hand unless it's family (He believes everyone is born with a disease that is triggered when hands joined with another's hand if you aren't blood related.) And last he doesn't wear shoes (He believes we get nutrients from the earth when our bare body is in contact with it.) And by him not wearing shoes in this blistering heat. He has blisters all over his feet.. He's a good though and very intelligent. He is so open yet closed. And he loves to listen and debate. He look like Matthew McConaughey. We met with him last Friday and as we were discussing about Adam and Eve he cut us off and began to tell us how he thought we, as humans, came from the ashes of the dinosaurs. Okay okay. I am done rambling about him. He's a Legend.

2.) The Barn... Okay it's not actually a barn it just looks like it and smells like it. But it's a nicely put together apartment equipt with 2 full bathrooms, a nice sized kitchen and 2 bedrooms. It is so sick here. The Elders I live with are goofy but we have fun. We all sleep in one room and study in the other. Not a whole lot gets done but hey at least we are having fun. I am glad this will be my last house.

3.) Okay the picture of my comp was taken just moments before he ran off the road and ate it. It was the funmniest thing. He was telling me that him and his last comp did it for aerodynamics haha and a split second layer he was on his back. Oh it was killed you had to be there.

4.) Here is a picture of me and the comp that taught Topher.
He is a Michael Jackson jumping, speed racing, one heck of a kid. I love him. He is so funny and as he was being dunked right before he went under he screamed "Oh Lord have mercy." EVERY ONE was laughing. He's the cutest kid. I had so much fun teaching Toph-a-loaf. Here is the post baptism pic.
