Update!

I am doing great. Our mission is splitting on July 1^st.  I will be in the Colorado Fort Collins Mission. Two weeks ago the weather was very stormy and cold. It wasn't too bad just really boring. The newspaper said that this was the longest snowstorm we've had since 1892. That was surprising because it was only a few days so it didn't feel long. It was just REALLY boring. I came out here to work not stay inside and watch church movies. I pray for you guys every night. Hope you guys are doing well. Love Elder Call

Hit by a car...

Dear Family,

I actually did receive the Easter Package and I really like all the Snickers and Reeses. So something happened on Tuesday... I kinda got hit by a car, it wasn't going very fast since it was just pulling out of a parking lot. So my companion and I were trying to find this lady to do service for and his GPS was taking us on the other side of town. So we stopped and went back and as I was riding on the sidewalk about to cross over the High School Parking lot and teacher who seemed rushed was waiting for the lane to be clear.

I couldn't really tell if he saw me because the windows were really tinted and It looked like he was giving me some clearance.  So I slowed down and continued to pass and he hit me. My bike is pretty dinged up and he said he would pay whatever the cost it is to fix it but it looks like I'm going to have to get a new one. I saw a chiropractor this morning and he fixed me up but he's a member so it was all free. So It wasn't bad,just bruises and sores. I have had LOTS of trouble sleeping though and I got a little sick a few days ago so I've been coughing and sneezing a lot. So that was the Highlight of my week. I did enjoy conference especially when Pres. Monson was talking about the little forest fire he started. That was kinda funny. I hope to be getting that package from you guys anyday now. The work is going forth boldly, nobly and independently. We had a couple more people to teach last week and we set a baptism date with someone too. So things are going pretty good, I love being a missionary but I miss my iPod a little and you guysbut mostly my iPod jk haha. Happy Birthday Dad I hope it was a good one. Till Next time... Don't get hit by a car it really doesn't feel good. Talk to you guys later. Love,  Elder Call

Still in Cheyenne

The work here is pretty good. We just try to reactivate people mostly and convert little kids in less active homes. Its disappointing when I run into someone who has so much LDS potential, but deny it. We keep running into those. We started teaching this one old guy who is semi active, and it’s funny because every time we see him he asks me where I'm from like 4 times in one lesson and after that he tells me that he went to Pamona College. So that definitely tries my patience. I have to always pretend like that was the first time he told me that. I'm still waiting on that Easter package. I am learning how to budget again which is hard because there are so many things I want and never enough to get them. I'm still living in Cheyenne and I will be for another 2 months and I have the same companion and I'm learning a lot. So far there have too many cases where I have had to deal with teaching obnoxious families and maybe only one meal that I've had to force down my throat. With that meal, while eating it, I constantly remember why I HATE mushrooms. Because that salad type meal consisted of lots of mushrooms, spinach and tangerine slices and it was killing me to eat it but I ate it. So no worries when you and Dad always lectured me about food I have to eat on my mission because I'm eating it. This week I get to brand and castrate some cows, which should be fun. We were planning on having some rocky mountain oysters but not this time because cutting it is too risky for the cow’s life. I am alive and well and hope you guys can mail me some goodies.  Well, I'll write you again next Monday. Love you, Elder Call
