Needs Mail

This week as been a pretty good week. However, Jaydan is now two weeks without a letter from anyone....at least through the mail. (He likes letters) He's getting his emails but really likes getting mail and wonders how long he can go. He is also still waiting or his package. Hopefully he'll get them soon. (he should...they were sent weeks ago)

Jaydan and his comp are working pretty good but Jaydan thinks they should really be working a little bit harder. He said that after lunch when they go home to "do their duties" they get distracted in other stuff. So, Jaydan told his comp that it can't happen anymore. He reminded his comp that if they want the Lord to bless them then they had better work as hard as they can and not be lazy. (even just a little bit) So for now on "poop~poop, brush~brush" and nothing else. (Jaydan put those things twice since their are two of them) Then to hurry back out and keep working. He said that things have been going pretty good since that little decision.

As Jaydan tries to remember the events of the week his mind goes blank and he just sits until of course his time on the computer is over then it all comes to him.

They played a "comp trust" game. This is where they guide each other around while the other one has his eyes closed. Jaydan guided his comp through a Railroad Station and did pretty good until his comp didn't listen and he fell. Jaydan of course laughed (he can't help it..it's in his genes) and then went over and helped him up. They have a lot of fun like that.

Friday was busy with planning for next week. Both Jaydan and his comp need to keep pulling the other back to the task at hand. (I guess they both get distracted) They also had baptism interviews for the Saturday baptisms.. "OH, did I say Baptism? Yes I sure did....I got another..I mean "we" another one." (Hooray for Jay!) Clair is the investigator and Jaydan describes her as "the sickest investigator you could get". (I think that means really awesome) Clair reads all the time and more than the missionaries ask her to. She always knew a lot when they taught her because she would read and study and was just ready. When the missionaries called to set up a time with her she told them that she wanted to invite her whole family to come too. She thought it was really important for them all to be there....she would like to invite the "whole world". Jaydan thought that was the coolest thing ever. What a joy to teach Clair.

Jaydan is pretty good with his money which is a good thing since his comps have had a bit of a problem with it. Jaydan buys cheap food in quantities and doesn't waste it on other things. Jaydan is just being smarter with the amount that he has.

It was good to go to Church on Sunday. The missionaries went to pick up some less active girls but one of them had been up all night taking care of her little brother and so she didn't want to go and the other siblings decided to go to a church that was closer. It was still an LDS church and Jaydan was just glad that they went.

Jaydan thinks his comp is a little weird but realizes that's how things are. However, it really annoys Jaydan that his comp is always touching him. He hates it! (of course he does!) (Hopefully Jaydan can work that out with his comp without beating him up....but I do think that is kind of weird too)
