Chapter 28
So it has come to my attention that the presence of the Great Artemio is sorely missed. Cries of boredom have reached mine ears. I write unto my friends to offer my condolences.
I totally wish I could be back home right now cracking jokes (and playing some D&D). But I have a calling right now. And apparently, my calling is to baptize all of the Utah Salt Lake City Mission. Needless to say, I've failed.
But that's okay. That's all right. I got something that you'll all like.
Not really. I just thought I'd say that. It seems that I'm like a bright ray of sunshine for those who are feeling down. If I'm boasting of myself... oops. Anyways, it's not the first time I've wished that everyone could have a clone of me. That way EVERYONE could be happy (and I can kick back, relax, and let them do all the work out here on my mission). But, as my previous companion used to say, "If there are two of the exact same person, one of them is useless."
He might be right.
So, everyone will just have to wait another 17 months/68 weeks/476 days/11424 hours/685440 minutes (roughly) for me to get back. Or you can just wait until I find some way to buy a tape recorder and then just mail my voice back to everyone (tapes provided at your expense).
On another note, I forgot to mention transfers.
I'm still in the same area. I'm still covering the same three stakes, the same 24 wards. I've been here for four and a half months now, thus meaning that I've broken the record for anyone who's stayed in this area (the record was 3 transfers aka 12 weeks).
My companion is different though. His name is Elder Torres (pronounced Toehes). He's half brazillian/half uraguayian. He's the youngest of four with the oldest kid being a boy. He's been out only one transfer longer than I have.
He's headstrong and does a lot of things different. There are a lot of things that I don't agree with but I'm going to need to find a way to work things out.
Other than that, I have a new car. I've been driving every other day and two days ago I almost crashed into a house. ;)
So I should be getting my licence soon all you lucky people out there.
As far as everything else goes, I'll be sending out a photo album to my mom in a couple of weeks (minus the pictures that NOBODY but those who truly understands my peculiar mind would want to see... heh heh he). So if you want to see them, I'm sure she'll put them on the internet, or you can just talk to her personally. Most (if not all) of you know where I live.
If you have any questions, let me know. I'm sorry if my sense of humor offends anyone.
Later
