Freakin Dog!

Jaydan thinks it's cool that Ivy is getting the same Kindergarten teacher that he had. He also knows that he must be the favorite son since Larry addressed Jared as Jaydan when giving Jared his back to school blessing. (of course I laughed)

So this was a crazy week. All the leaders in the zone had to go to a leader conference in T-bo and so that left four missionaries in P-dew. (including Jaydan) Jaydan was with a missionary who only had one more change than him (a greenie too). It was a little hard teaching but Jaydan said it was also good since these two were forced to talk. Their comps weren't there to take over the talking for them. Jaydan said it was a pretty successful day.

On Wednesday they split up to go with the other two Elders who were a lot more experienced and had more knowledge. Jaydan thought this day "sucked" since the Elder he was with was kind of lazy and all they did was contact people and barely that since the Elder wanted to keep stopping in stores and going other places. It's hard to work hard when you work like that.

The next day Jaydan went with the other Elder to his (Jaydan's) area and that made Jaydan the boss (or leader). Jaydan got to decide what went on and they had some good lessons and what not....so that was a good day. They waited back at Jaydan's house for each of their comps to get back from the meetings. (both comps are district leaders)

On Friday they went out and worked really hard and got a lot of contacts. They found some really cool people and had some great lessons. Saturday was the same way....they worked super hard and found some great people. There was one "dude" who said that he was a believer of the devil and messed with the Elders for a bit and then told them that he was just kidding. Jaydan thought that was kind of funny.

Jaydan has been studying a lot about diligence and mentioned it to the others and they did it and they had success.

Jaydan was excited for Sunday since so many people wanted them to come back and teach them more. Sunday started off with Jaydan speaking in sacrament for his first time. He said it wasn't too bad. He asked some people after if they even understood him and they said that they did understand most of it. Jaydan was like "fetch yes..what a relief". So now Jaydan was ready to go out and teach and work hard. (bust his butt) The days that they do go so much faster. The first two people they went to visit weren't home and the third house I think they got in. But, when they left "a freakin dog came up and bit me in the freakin ankle....aahhhhhhhh!!!!!!" "I freakin HATE days now. The picture is of the bite! It was bleeding really bad and wouldn't stop so Jaydan wrapped one of his handerchiefs around it and we kept going. It hurt every step he took but he didn't care. From that point on everything went downhill. All their contacts feel through but they were able to teach one good lesson. They went to a members after that so that they could clean Jaydan's ankle since their house wasn't in the area. They got it cleaned up and put stuff on it which hurt like the "beast". They put a band aid over it and then Jaydan even put his handkerchief over the top of it too. When they got home that night it had bled through the bandaid an doosed out the sides. So it is good that Jaydan had the handkerchief over it too. It had finally stopped bleeding and so Jaydan cleaned it out before he wnt to bed. He cleaned it with some alcohol and these are his words: "Holy fetch balls it stung so fartknocking bad" (he makes me laugh....quite the expression....I didn't teach him that) He put the clean part of the handkerchief back over it for the night and called it a day. (WOW~ What a day!)

Jaydan and his comp made some really good pudding stuff and even bought some cookies to dunk in it. It was "super yummy".

Jaydan bought some really soft socks and a super soft blanket and so he is set as far as comfort goes...He would like me (mom) to send him his soft slippers though when I get a "love package" together.

He found a "bedazzled" watch on the side of the road and only the glass face was broke and it still worked so he is sending it home to Kimi and if she doesn't want it then Ivy can have it. He carefully got all the broken glass out with his pocket knife.

This coming week they are having a conference in Mercedes with President Arnold of the area 70 (or something). It's about a 2 to 3 hour bus ride from P-dew. Well that's about if for this week. Except Jaydan did mention again "I HATE DOGS HERE NOW OFFICIALLY" hahaha It was a good size dog too....not no dinky one. Jaydan will hit the next dog that tries to even come close to him...so they'd better not get close.

"Love you all so much...I hope you continue to think of me and don't forget about me". (not even possible)
