I'm really excited to get out and work this week because we only have so much time to do it this week with today obviously being p-day and then tomorrow being gone all day for a mission tour in Iowa City with Elder Clarke which I'm most excited for because it's not very often that I get to shake the hand of a GA if ya know what I mean. So he spoke in conference and then last year Elder Bowen came through the mission and he spoke this past conference too and it was amazing. The bad part about all of this is that since we're out here in peoria we are super far away from everything and so we have to be in our seats spiritually preparing for them meeting by 8 and so we have to leave here at 5a.m. and that's going to kill me for sure because I'm driving and we have to wake up at like 4 and get going or we'll be late to the meeting which is going to have over 100 missionaries there and President or Elder Clarke will put a curse on me. Let's just say that I'm way excited and we have some missionaries staying the night with us and will be with us tomorrow for the drive. The meeting will start at 9 and so between 8-9 everyone will get to shake his had one by one and get to talk with him for a sec then the meeting will go from 9-12 then an hour for lunch then the second half at 1-3 then after that we have a zone leader council with Elder Clarke from 3:30 -6:30 and we will probably be getting drilled with how we will reach our baptismal goal this year of 400. We as a mission have 316 baptized with 126 with a date. Now the mission is about 50% with those with baptismal dates actually making it to the waters of baptism, so we will be getting the run down for sure. Elder Sauer and I have our plate full with trying to get things in order with the sisters trying to figure out the area we're in due the the East Elders being closed down for a couple of transfers and having to split everything with them. We are also getting everything ready for the mission tour and the meeting after, as well as a 2 1/2 zone training meeting on Friday and then 2 days of college class that we have to teach next week. I'm feeling a little unprepared for this one but I know that I'll be able to receive revelation about what needs to be said and what questions these college students will bring up. I mean I've never even been to a day of college in my life and now I'm supposed to teach the class........ talk about climbing fast haha
So for thanksgiving we have plenty to eat and places to go. I'm just a likable guy and people see that so we gets the food if you know what I mean. sometimes I hear all the street slang down hear and it starts to flake off on me and I start to get spitting like Slim Thug. President Jergensen doesn't want us to be playing any football at all on Thanksgiving due to injuries and whatnot so it looks like I'll have to take my talents next season to Riverton and pull some Tim Tebow on yall haha I'll knock ya flat. BTW I did 64 pushups this morning in a row without stopping with my push up stands( they kinda hurt my wrist) that's hard and it's alot.
I do not want to have thermal G's because that would just be weird. Tony has all the stuff and it will all workout with him unless he passes it off to you mom.
We do have Greg not really ready at this time for baptism but we did replace him with a lady named Phyllis Vaughn who will work towards Dec 22
I love you all and I know that this work is true and even if the dude next to me is looking at bad stuff I'll stand strong in the faith Elder Gonzalez
