Fake Poop in the Shower

💩💩💩  Hahaha so to start off the email I want to share a small uplifting story about a little prank that I did with my companion. It wasn't anything big or crazy, rather simple and funny. So, I had received a few packages for Christmas from my Aunt Kathy and in it was a fake poop. So one day I did divisions with the Zone leaders and I went to their area with Elder Wayman and Elder Frehner stayed in our area with Elder Torres. 

Anyway, I put the poop in the shower where the water was leaking and so it looked very real. Elder Torres walked out of the bathroom at the end of the day and asked, "Elder Frehner, did you know that somebody took a poop in your shower?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA he acted like he had no idea so the poop stayed there. Then when it came time to shower Elder Frehner just slip the "poop" over to the side and then showered around it. It was hilarious. My companion told me about it when i got back to the area. 

I believe that this is my last week in this ward and I am kind of grateful. They are amazing members but they expect that we do all of the fellow-shipping and that they do nothing. it kinda gets old, but they are amazing. I will definitely miss a lot of them. 

I will be sad to leave San Carlos behind because I have become very good friends with a lot of people there. There is a song about missionaries that talks about how "strangers become my best friend" and its so true. We talk to everybody and with time they all become your best friend. Its amazing. 

Other than that, life is great. We are still working hard with Familia Carrillo, Herbert, and Adrian (Herbert and Adrian are around the same age and both are interested in the gospel but the rest of there family isn't. they are amazing). Getting them ready to be baptized!!! YAY:) 

I finally have some pictures:

One Year!

How are ya? I am doing well. 

Here in the office with Elder Frehner and today (Thursday) is the exact one year mark of my mission. I will see you guys in 349 days hahaha. thats weird. Life is good:) We are working with a lot of people. Last night, I had a great experience. You remember that lady named Angela that I baptized? Well I ran into her husband that had been without work for a while. He had gotten a job about two months ago selling stuff in a truck and one of his routs is through San >Carlos. So I got to see and talk to him. They are getting ready to go to the temple. Whoa. Thats crazy! I love them soooo much. They have a little baby named Angie and they are doing great.
