Letter #26 - August 20, 2012

Okay, so my eighth transfer cycle (six weeks) is over with. I've been on a mission for 51 weeks! The one year panic has struck me. Have I read enough of the New Testament or the Doctrine and Covenants? Have I accomplished the goals I wanted to? I'm still not very good at studying, can I improve that in a year? I have all these unanswered questions.
 
I'm staying in Grand Rapids (Grand Valley area) with Elder Masters again, for at least six more weeks. Pretty excited about all of it. We've been having a lot of fun. Last week was probably the most tiring, exhausting week of my mission and I loved it. We went out and doorknocked a ton. It was great though. So, we got rejected 150 times and we got one return appointment. That's like, the worst average ever. It's like Shaq shooting free throws, or Chone Figgins batting average. Does he still play? That dude sucks. How are the Mariners doing? I heard Dwight Howard went to the Lakers. Ray Allen is on the Heat. What is with these super teams? It's ruining the sport.Only one more college football and NFL season of being out of the loop. I'm glad. I miss it so much. Are the Seahawks going to be good? No. I can answer that right now. Maybe the Lions will. I claim rights to all Michigan teams now, except UofM. Our mission is MSU fans.
 
I got in a huge bible bash/fight with this guy the other day. I'm not proud of what I did. But, it was funny. I felt bad a little bit afterward, just because it turned into me not really caring if he wanted to accept it, and more into making him know that I'm right. When someone starts to bag on Joseph Smith, I get a little offended. Usually people believe the same as us as to Christ's life, so I don't get mad about that.
 
My feet have blisters on them. My shoes have become completely flat. But, my white shirts are still looking good. We ate Taco Bell 23 times last transfer. Five weeks. That's a huge average. It was crazy. So, we're not going to eat Taco Bell this transfer. I'm assuming that will end around noon today. A new transfer, new goals and stuff. I'm excited.
 
Anyways, this next year should be pretty good. I hope everybody decides to be Mormon when I come home.
 
Love,
Big Damon.O
