this week i was able to eat some goat tail. its jamaican but it didn't taste any different from american food which leads me to wonder if it was really "foreign" it tasted a lot like one of the sudanese meats that i had which turned out to be lamb. but im glad to hear all is going well with you. i don't have a whole heck of a lot of time. my week has been alright. i was on exchanges which was pretty much the highlight but they didn't last to long. transfers are on wednesday so i'm excited to hear whats happening. i'll find out today. today shouldn't be too exciting. everyone is out of miles. on some occasions we do check our mail multiple times so i'll try and talk my comp into coming back later.

So my comp decided to stay here at the library for another hour (of course without bothering to tell me)! So now i can update yall on the mish. On Tuesday we went out to lunch with sister lewis (i don't know if i've mentioned her before) but she is an old perverted lady. she has favorite missionaries in our district. she likes us all but she likes her "pets" more. luckily i'm not one of her pets so she didn't ask me to sit by her. I went on exchanges with our district so i was in a different area. My comp and i (while tracting) discussed various pop stars such as miley cyrus, demi lovato, selena gomez, ashley tisdale, and of course let's not forget...TAYLOR SWIFT! For each positive thing i had to say about these ladies he had something negative...except for Taylor. We discussed how much disney has changed as far as their strict enforcement of rules and what not. It was a good bonding experience. i freaked him out at night when i told him about paranormal activity. i guess he couldn't sleep! what a whimp! Saturday we did service all day for a non member sister from japan. it was a lot of fun. i was able to use a lot of the skill that i got from landscaping. she has a son though who is fun. he's always over reacting as most 10 years do. It rained yesterday. Church was really nice. i'm getting to know a lot of the members. I think i can say (without any pride of course) that i am a prime example that missionaries are the most popular people in the ward. one of the biggest challenges for me so far on my mission is tuning things out. when we go into walmart or some restaraunt and i hear the music or see the magazines or the advertisements for new releases. i am getting better though. i have the magazine thing pretty much beat. that was never really a problem for me anyway. the music though is going to be the biggest challenge. i bought a guitar a few weeks ago so maybe just maybe that will help. and if not...well at least i have a guitar to strum. im thinking of writing/composing some missionary songs if i get good enough. anyway that was my week in a nutshell. i'm most likely going to develop my pics today (i think i have like 10). i hope it doesn't cost too much. my goal is to spend as little as money as possible so maybe i'll send pics every 6 weeks. since yall are the master chefs do you know any simple yet awesome recipes that don't require an oven. i can use a stove but i have not been trained with an oven. i have been able to make french toast on a couple of occasions. we don't have any cinnamon or sugar so i substituted brown sugar. they turned out all right but i don't want to brag. our syrup is like 13 years old so i dont want to risk using it.
