Dundalk, Part 14

Oh me goodness! I was so very happy to get letters from Jtown and Lawrence-Oliviay! I love y'all right back. Let me give my younger siblings some advice based on what I feel I've learned so far: I know that it's difficult to love or even like people, but it is possible and it is also far more worth it to put in the effort and be someone's friend than to be a lone lonely loner. I've come to love many people on my mission so far (Jude, Alicia, Elders Scholz and Anderson, every member of the Dundalk branch, etc.) even though it is sometimes pretty difficult. 

I apologize, but you won't get any pictures this week of the awful pumpkin pie we made. I'm in Dublin, and I left my camera in Dundalk. And once again, I am without an official companion. Elder Anderson had to go home. I'm not at liberty to know why. He will be missed though, he was a really good companion, and he was a boon to Dundalk for his short time here. I might be a few days without an official companion until President Donaldson decides what to do. 

Don't speak to me about cupcakes or cookies OR ECLAIRS (Jenna). We made 3 pumpkin pies, and each was somehow worse than the last, and made a huge mess. All I wanted was a good pumpkin pie, but they don't friggen make them! I just want some nice home cooking. Don't cry for me though, because for my birthday we got an XL pizza from Apache's called "The Big Buffalo!"

I'm very glad for Rebecca and Eric! I hope they choose a name that will be insanely, unbelievably great, like Balthazar, or Tim. But on the other hand, I was very sad to hear about Darol; that story made Elder Wright (zone leader) very sad. And the fact that I forgot about thanksgiving made me...mad. 

Oh yeah, and there have still been no baptisms. Still just impending. Tell Justin I love his dragon, and his Halloween costume looks hot! but it ain't Halloween yet! We ain't supposed to go out proselyting on Halloween, so I'm not sure what we'll do. Stupid Halloween. It's not even a holiday! Where do we get off celebrating it? 

And thank you everyone so much for the birthday wishes!

Anyways, love y'all!
