October updates from Elder Brian

Viernes:  Crazy day!!  So in the morning I got food poisoning, AGAIN!  Boo.  This is the 4th time on my mission.  Sabado:  General Conference!!!  Woot!  It was at the stake center in Carlsbad. … took us over there and the first session didn’t have translation, so I had to translate it.  Whew, that was hard.  Live translation is tricky, especially conference talks because they use such big words.  But I had done a lot of practicing before, so it wasn’t too bad.  And a temple in TIJUANA!!!!!  All the members were freakin’ out!!  It was so exciting!  This is soooo good for the church down here.  We pretty much partied at the stake center all day and watched them all in Spanish.  Gotta love conference.  It was interesting because there are a TON of general authorities that record their own translations.  It was really surprising.

Sabado:  Still on exchanges.  In the morning we went down to the ocean and taught … a part member family.  We are teaching … who is the husband, and he has a date for the 1st of January.  Then we taught … and then we exchanged back.  Elder Colby and I went over to … a 9 yr old son of a member and we set a date with him for the 13th as well.  We came home early because Elder Colby was really sick and then we had BUNK BEDS!!!!  Hallelujah, we finally have beds and we aren’t sleeping on the floor.  It took 7 weeks, but they came.  YAY!!

Jueves:  In the morning a TON of things fell through.  And I had some bike problems, so I had to fork out another $70 on bicycle repairs.  Boo.  I got some new tires, and some other work done, and it runs a lot better now.  Then after that we went to this less active, and we gave her a blessing, and then she gave us 6 referrals!!!!  Sweetness.  Viernes:  …we went to one of our focus-15 people, …, because her husband isn’t a member.  After that I got a flat, so I had to repair it and then we did the long bike ride home from the ocean.   Sabado:  In the morning we biked down to visit …  It has been really rainy and stormy since about Thursday (still rainy and stormy today), and so we got really wet riding down.

Tuesday:  RAIN!!!  Holy cow.  After I wrote ya’ll we went to Carlsbad for interviews.  Big news:  So I talked to President about school, and coming home early to get into school, and he agrees with me, and we have it planned for me to come home in the November transfer next year instead of the January.  So that means that I am only going to have one Christmas away, and only one birthday, but probably two Thanksgivings, but we will see.  So yep.  LOTS OF RAIN!
