6 Months!!

*Inspirational Quote of the day from the bar down the street
"Vodka mixes well with everything, Except decisions"
I thought someone might enjoy that.
Well it's pretty exciting being a missionary. The 6 month mark is coming up on Thursday. We have had a pretty solid week. The weather has been pretty interesting. It has been really sunny and the lake just looks amazing (wish I could just jump in.) On the other hand we had one day where it rained buckets and had a big thunderstorm. We had a big tornado come our way but it was dark and ended up not touching down near us.
I also had a pretty good week for cooking: One night I made a caramelized Flan that was delicious and I made some bread pudding and yesterday I made some soft pretzels that were really good. I also managed to burn myself while doing so.
We had a pretty solid weekend. Friday night we drove down to Bentonville and stayed with some other Elders. Early Saturday morning we got to go help put on a 5k and half marathon. We all had a blast cheering on the runners. Then we got to go to the mission home and have breakfast with President and Sister Loveland. We stayed and watched the first session of General Conference. The rest of Saturday and Sunday we spent just watching conference and eating.
One of our amazing lessons this week was with the Evans family (baptism on the 16th) about the Book of Mormon. The majority of the lesson consisted of us being attacked by their goat Oreo while he tried to pee and spit on us. It was an interesting lesson to say the least. They were able to watch conference and had a great experience. They said that they were going to watch it several times to make sure they got it all. They are just so dedicated and driven and it makes my job so much easier, almost obsolete. 
Well this would normally be the email when I say where I will be for the next transfer but with the extra week added on we will get calls on Saturday and transfers will be the following Thursday. I hope all of you enjoyed conference as much as I did and have a great week.
Love and miss you,
