Heeeey!

Well we had a good week. The weathers been weird, changing all the time like Utah weather. Its snowing lightly today, its been pretty warm other days. We had 3 Golden Re-training's this week. It's where the new missionaries come back a few weeks after they have had some experience in there area's. So here's what we did:
Monday - So in the morning the AP's called us and asked if we could help them with an ET (Emergency transfer) When we got to the office Elder house need our help with picking up 2 new Subaru's for the mission. So we went and picked those up and drove them back to the office. After that our Zone was having "Zone Unity Day" And Elder Flake wanted to play basketball. So we did that. We couldn't stay for a long time cause Monday is our game day for Mission Stats and we already had a late start. After that Elder House need us to drive him to a car dealership. After that we were finally able to get a start on the numbers. But we had lots of distractions. The Numbers report is supposed to be printed and ready for the assistants and President by 8 Monday night. And we were pulling them off the printer right on time at 8. So it was a busy day. After that we had to get some things ready for the baileys to bring to Golden retraining the next day.
Tuesday - Cant remember exactly what we did, the baileys were in Jersey at the training. So it was just us and the Houses in the office. We went on exchange with the Zone Leaders that night. It was a short one, cause the exchange started once we were done in the office and had dinner. But it went well.  Wednesday - we had the Conf. Call in the morning. It was a large group cause it was re-training #2 at the Broomall Chapel. President has been teaching us about the Study helps in the scriptures. So he taught us about the JST translation and talked about the new scriptures. I started a big project in the office. We have this file cabinet with folders that hold all the info for our 100+ apartments. Leases etc. So everything in the file cabinet is pretty out of date. There are tons of folders that don't leases or don't even have folders etc. So I've made brand new folders and labels for them. We have an excel sheet that has all the info for all the apartments - address, landlord  rent etc all kinds of stuff. So I'm also making a summary cover sheet for each folder that will have all the important info typed up on it. So that we don't have to dig through the folder to find out important info. So I've got to read all of the individual leases and update the information in the excel sheet. Later that day we went with Bro. Kwon - a YM from our ward to go visit Cindi, a LA. then we had dinner at Taco Bell - It was Elder Flakes 1st time there. Then we tried to visit more Less Actives, then returned to the office.
Thursday - Had district meeting in the morning. President Came to ours. He also gave me the new software for his computer - Windows 7 & Microsoft Office. So i spent the rest of the day try to get his computer working. And worked on the Apartment Folders. Then we had the Baileys that night.
Friday - We dropped off the AP's car for an oil change in the morning. then i finished up working on Presidents computer. I got it up and running, it looks good. The Baileys were gone for golden retraining again. so we had the office to our self again. I continued working on the folders. We had to pick up the AP's car when it was finished. then had to drop off a car at the mission home. President Came and picked up his computer when he got back from training. He was pretty happy to have it fixed. then we had dinner, then delivered a package to a missionary in Philly. Oh and while we were driving through the ghetto part of Philly this guy pulled up to us and wanted to talk to us, And my companion rolled down the window - bad idea. And he starts yelling at us etc He was saying that we cut him off, which i totally didn't. Anyways, i wasn't going to let him tell me that i cut him off when i didn't so i was like "Dude i have no idea what your talking about i didn't do anything." And he was pointing his finger at us and swearing, and Elder Flake was apologizing. and i was just shaking my head and saying whatever man.
Well were about to start getting busy again. Cause were two weeks away from transfers. umm i cant think of much else to say. But.. Happy St. Patricks day!!!
