thanks for letting me know about grandma. i'm glad she's doing better. that letter was from me, i was just checking to see if my change of address worked or not, two weeks ago. i'm going to try to send something else to see if it works now or not. so hopefully, but it should be fixed.
this week there's not to much exciting news. on thursday we had an appointment with a less active member we have been working with. he called us earlier and told us he would be a few minutes late, so just hang around. so we did, five minutes passed, and then ten minutes, next thing we knew it was over thirty. so we knew something must of happened. we go back to the apartment and theres a message on on our answering machine. it's the person we were heading to go see, and it turns out he was at the checkout stand and his two year-old son was in the shopping cart and dropped his truck. he bent over to pick it up and the cart fell over and he busted his lip open. so he had to take him to the emergency room. so it was the most intesrting story this week until last night.
it was normal, we go to bed nothing unusual. i wake up about one thirty needed to use the restroom, i placed my feet on the ground and my feet got wet. i told elder wangemann get up, but he is a very deep sleeper. he slept through his alarm eariler this week. i turne on the lights pick up my glasses and it was bad. i yelled, get up now. he heard now, wakes up. and as soon as he stood up he said oh, shoot. we quickly found out that the main pipe for the water heater broke. so we call a plumber and they said they cant help us because we live in an apartment, so we have to call the landlords. so we call them and it just rang, and about the time elder wangemann didn't think they were going to answerthey did. a person came turned off the water, and called someone one else to to come a suck it all up. so elder wangemann calls President Millburn to let him know whats going on. he said, president we have an emergency. we wondered what the look on his face would be when we said that. but everything ended up turning out allright. we getting new carpet and we also don't have any water at the moment. but i'm sure glad it's p-day, so we can catch up on sleep. but we had almost two hundred gallons of water in our apartment by the time the water was shut off. our neighbors woke up because that vacuum they use is loud. so that's my crazy story for the week.

other than that everything has been fine. we had a really good week. i met a baptist pastor that was very much telling us we are being mislead, but were doing good, but were mislead. so it was crazy. we also found out the jehovah witness had tracted that street earlier that day. so people weren't exactly thrilled. we had a zone meeting this week and it sounds like p-day is going to be moved to monday soon. we think he's going to have a vote at zone confernce and probably start next transfer. after our zone meeting this week, we went to a resturant, called five guys. it had very good burgers as well as french fries. i've been there twice now and they are just amazing, but that's it for this week.
