August 12th - August 19th

Sorry it's short. The area is starting to get hard.

Monday - we really didn't do much for a p-day. We went and had breakfast with a member down in Ascutney, then we hung the rest of the day and watched our plans melt away.. classic

Tuesday - Wednesday - I have got the beginning of the school year sickness. I threw up, mixed with allergies, I've had a dry throat, sinus congestion and I've been addicted to nose spray. Go figure. Hahaha dang.

We met a dude named Riley, who looked like a member of black veil brides. Gothic, crazy, weird. Anyway, we where walking down the sidewalk and about 30 yards ahead I told Elder Espinoza to walk around the building and avoid this guy because I got weird vibes. Anyway, as we where walking we here from behind us "hey! Why you walking so fast!" We turned around and there he is. We walked in front of a hair salon for witnesses. Anyway, we asked where he was from. He said, salt lake and he was a Mormon!!!..... we asked why he's here and he said he's a traveler, he wanted to bum a suit off the bishop and as funny as that would be, we decided not to do that.. he said 3 days ago he was in Portland Maine, and a week ago in Seattle... what?.... so after that, he was gone... never to be seen again..

Thursday -  I was so sick but we had district meeting and I went and we talked about comp unity. Later, we went and stopped by the Browns and the Zimnicks, who were all sick too and it was totally chill to teach haha

Friday/Saturday - Friday was a unsuccessful day. Other then Dartmouth. I'll tell the story.

Friday afternoon we went to Dartmouth Administration to try and see what we where allowed to do on campus. We talked to some super high up people (intimidating) and they where very nice and told us we would receive a call Saturday. Saturday rolled around and we got a call from a ward member, who was the religious representative for Dartmouth. She promptly and quickly said "you can't do anything at Dartmouth" so we said okay and left it at that. A couple hours later we got a phone call from President Blair. He said "Elders I just got off the phone with Bishop Crossett.. Elders, I'm not happy. He said he wanted me to pull you back from Dartmouth and I said nope. then Pres. Blair said,  "Here's your new mission, should you choose to accept it. Elders, he ruffled my feathers. You are to go back on campus and interview the churches on campus. Gather information for me and I will meet with your ward member Thursday and get you back on campus. I don't care if you get arrested, if things get salty, speak Spanish."


So this week we are doing that.. kind of intense.


Sunday - church was interesting, sacrament meeting was good, second hour a teacher announced she was a feminist and wanted the priesthood and asked us why women can't have it... so dang.. had to wreck some feelings... then we went and saw the Browns again and hung out with them then did some Spanish the rest of the night.



Sorry for this crappy e mail.. it's been a tough week.. I'll do better next time!!
