Well... I guess I'll start with the bad news from the week. So Ka* was supposed to get interviewed on Tuesday. We called her and left a message to make sure that she was still good for it. she called us back later that day and said that she didn't want to be baptized anymore because we almost cost her her job on Sunday at Red Lobster. She said not to come back and not to call her anymore. So no, there wasn't a baptism on Saturday. Wednesday we spent most of the day planning and doing service. Wednesday night my throat started to feel a little bit scratchy. I woke up Thursday morning and I flet like crap. I was all congested and had a cough and my throat was real sore. so we stayed in that day and I rested and took some drugs to get me feeling better. Friday we had District Meeting and we took it a little slow but I still wasn't feeling the best. Saturday i did a little bit better and Sunday about the same. Now I feel fine. I'm at about 98%. Transfers are next week. Elder McGrath has been out for 17 months and he thinks that he is staying here. He thinks that this is gunna be his last area. Honestly i don'tknow what is gunna happen with me. I think I might leave though. I have no clue where I would go. It could really be anywhere. I can't tell you who everyone is in the pictures, because I don't know which ones you're talking about. Sorry. But the snaps were a prank that we did on the Manassa elders when I was in Antonito. We put the snaps on tape and taped them to all the doors, cabinets and drawers (and the toilet seat) so that whenever they would close something it would go off. Then Elder guymon poured a bunch of Kool-aid in their toilet tank. The reason why the letters have been so short is that I've been waiting for your email to come but then I run out of time waiting and I have to whip something up. So this email that I'm replying to is the newest one I have gotten. Fore some reason your emails haven't been getting to me. I don't get them till the next week. My email time is at 10 mountain time and I only have and hour. So usually if I don't get an email from you I'll write a few notes to other people and write my letter to President. I haven't gotten any word from anyone in quite a while. That may be because transfers are coming up and they hold the mail so it doesn't get lost. Neal should be going into the field next week. And Spencer should be finishing up school pretty soon. Something that I've always wanted was a Chia Pet. Ha ha but that woudl be really hard to carry around the mission. I have gotten a hold of a lava lamp that I'll prolly send home so I don't have to lug it around. the only thing I'm worried about taht is that I don't want anyone using it and breaking it and I might send some clothes home like Tshirts and stuff cuz I really don't need as many as I have. But the problem is that stuff will prolly cost a lot and I don't really have a good way to get down to teh post office. So for the next package the only thing I can think of that I would want is some moccasins. Dont send any like hygine stuff cuz I already have way too much of that. Talks and stuff are always good. Ummmm I don't know I can't really think of much. What ever you send will be awesome! But that is all for now.I love and miss you all. Elder Butler
