Meat, Parades, and Boxers!

What a deal! We couldn't help ourselves :) 

M- Life is great as always! This week is going to be even better though! We are going to eat like kings! So Elder Robinson and I got a coupon in the mail this week. It was just such a good deal we couldn't pass it up! We may or may not have spent like 80 dollars on steak this week. It was meant to only be fifty, but then shipping was like seventeen and then the guy said we qualified for a special deal on lasagna so we had to get that too!

I- Our investigators are doing well. I have to admit, the work isn't quite as hot as I thought it was but that's okay, it's still going well. We had a really good lesson with Denitra this week. Her dad just passed away, so she's going through some pretty hard times, and she could use prayers. She made it to church though. It was the primary program so it was fantastic!

R- The spirit always guides you to say what needs to be said. Whether you're in a teaching appointment, a correlation meeting, or just sitting back at the apartment with your companion. When you are confirmed you are promised to have the Holy Ghost to always be with you. I think that we often forget what that really means. The Holy Ghost can guide you in any situation you could ever find yourself in

A- The area is great. I love the Ward. Jeremy Guthrie is in our ward! He is one of the pitchers for the Kansas City Royals! Oh man, that’s something exciting I haven’t mentioned in my emails yet! The Royals won the World Series! It was the first time since 1985! The whole city has been revolving around baseball for the past month! It has been so great! Jeremy Guthrie is the coolest guy you could ever meet too! He loves going out with the missionaries, and with the World Series just ending he's going to have extra time to help us!

C- Elder Robinson is such a stud! He's doing great! He is also a great cook!!!!

L- I learned that my emails get a lot shorter if I wait to the last minute to write them.

E- There was a giant parade for the Royals downtown on Tuesday. 800,000 people showed up for it! That is sooo many people! Also one of the families we visit has a pet Possum living under the porch!

~ Love Elder ClusterPS. My Grandma made me an awesome pillowcase using all my old boxers (An Elder Cluster tradition)  I was so excited to get it this week! Thank you Grandma!  Oh, and with it came a lovely poem my mom and dad wrote. Ha!

The Boxercase

Once you had a friendship of the most intimate kind,

Colorful, crazy boxers that blessed your sweet behind.

  

I know your boxers made you happy, I know they made you glad,

And now that you wear garments, you’re feeling kind of sad.

  

To show you that we love you, to show you that we care,

We have this special gift for you, made from your underwear.

  

You might think it’s distasteful, you might think its unkind,
To have to rest your weary head, where once sat your behind.

So when you’re feeling troubled, or when you’re feeling blue,

Hold your pillow close to you, and know that WE LOVE YOU!
