Happy birthday to me! And so is was! I got the package from home on Thursday and loved the pictures! We popped in the new Reflections of Christ CD and the Christmas one (We have a 5 disc changer in our car!) and loved it. I had one of the little blowers you sent me in my mouth all day long blowing it and yelling "It's my birthday!" Elder Davenport was pretty sick of it by the end of the day. The Avichucos came out with there grandson Brandon and took us to lunch. They got me an awesome pocket watch which is great because the watch I us to have I couldn't ware because the metal gave me a rash.
Nice going CV!!! Love. It. What is Richy going to be playing next year? Looking forward to seeing the shows a year and 5 months from now.
So funny story! President Bassett (Mission President) calls Elder Davenport and I on Wednesday and says "What's this I hear about you two watching Transformers 2?!"... And we're all "Ummmm... What?" I was thinking about saying "yeah, it was great President, you should see it" but I didn't. But seriously, had no idea what he was talking about. Then he says "I just got a call from someone that it's one of you Elders birthday and they said something about you going over to a part members house and watching it saying 'nobody will know.' That true" So here's how it went. This part member family I just met were watching Transformers 2 when we showed up to check up on them. We stayed at the door while they paused the movie and talked to us. I told them that my birthday was next week and they wanted to have a BBQ for me. (They are one of the most sarcastic families out there.) And we said, joking around, "oh yeah, we'll come over and share a few beers, watch Transformers 2, nobody will know" they laughed knowing we were kidding and we left. Well the wife shared the story with one of the members in the ward saying how she thought we were funny when we said that. And she told someone, and they told someone who called the Mission President Who called us to rip our guts out. I thought it was pretty funny, but there is a lesson from this ultimate game of telephone that we are constantly being evaluated in everything we do. It was a learning experience for me.
Exchanges are tonight. Elder Jenkins our district leader will be coming to our area and Elder Davenport will be going to his area. I hope I know the area well enough to make our day effective tomorrow.
Thanks for the pics I will look forward to seeing more as well as hearing your about your adventures on the mp3. Great Idea! Glad I thought of it! Ohhh. I'm proud of my humility aren't I.
