Week 34- The craziest week ever! -the latter-day dudes dad is a monk!

OK,  so this email probably will take me all day because so much has happened today.  It ills me that I have to type this all out.  Let me summarize first and then go into detail!

First I tried to hop a fence and absolutely ate it and face planted on the other side! Elder Reynolds laughed for 10 minutes straight and almost threw up haha! We tried to take a short cut and that didn't turn out so well! After I fell  two days later we ran into the coolest monk ever! The monks son is a guy we ran into 2 weeks prior who is a minister from the Church of the Latter Day Dude!!!! Can you believe that's even a church.  They are both funny dudes! His dad who is the monk walks around with this black robe,  he looks like he is from the KKK hahaha  crazy!

Then Sunday rolls around and I have to give a talk in church about how I gained a testimony!  Never did I teach so simply and with total comfort and peace!   I didn't write anything down but I spoke from my heart and prepared a bunch of scriptures to read! Then this morning I get a call to be the district leader in this ward that I'm currently serving in and Elder Reynolds got called to be a zone leader!   I'm a district leader uh oh! It gets even better.  So in a zone there are two district leaders but since they took out a set of sisters they made it one whole zone and district making it a mega district.   I have to do goal barrier and action plans and follow up with 5 different companionship's!  The zone leaders and the AP's are in my district so I have a crowd haha! I'm going to have my plate full!  I'm in charge of district meetings which means I have to train, assign training's and a couple of other assignments! A lot to look forward too.  Nothing is a happening with Paige and kelan yet.   ugh

My new companion is going to be Elder Bailey.   I came out with him.  He was in the mtc with me just not in my same district! He was a convert at 17 so he is a good guy with a strong testimony!

That's my crazy week, and the story behind my fall is way longer and super funny but I wrote it in my journal so it will be a fun story to tell when I get home! I also talked to a pilot less active member who went to UVU and got his degree and took business classes as a back up but got hired as a pilot and works for southwest! He gave me a lot of good insight! That's pretty much the crazy week summed up for you! Hope you all are doing good! 

To answer your questions mom, my allergies are fine.  Its super dry out here but its good nothing bothering me yet! For my birthday probably fast food gift cards taco bell especially! We eat at costa-vida sometimes so that's pretty good! Probably extra pocket cash! A simple watch maybe! nothing expensive just a casual watch. Some Nike socks.   I have a lot of ties so I'm good there. Maybe a Denver Colorado sweatshirt or something like that! That's all I can think of! I liked the picture of McKay,  I laughed my head off! I don't know what else to tell you.   I just am excited for pday today get to play basketball and blow off some steam! Always a good day! Izzy's bio in the high-school musical brochure is hilarious! She would like to thank her Grandparents for the use of their basement stage where she gained all of her experience! I laughed at that!

When  the president called he said I'm glad I have two elders in the mission who just get it! He said he is proud of the people we are so that was a good compliment!  I don't know what else to tell you have a good week! It stinks I can't go to priesthood session with dad! Imiss that! but I will be there watching! I miss march madness too! but this is way better! I love you all and miss you all!
