Well it was bound to happen some time on my mission.
So heres what happen. I think it was last thursday. I saw that Elder Castillo (ZL) had a razer with an adjustable guard that he uses to cut his own hair. I ask him if I could use it and he said yes. so he just gives it to me and says good luck... I kinda got the impression that he didnt want to cut it for me so I just start trying to do it myself. and it was going great actually. I was almost done and it acutally looked great. so I undo the guard. I look at it and decide that I want it just a little bit shorter... that was the mistake. when I but the guard back on I forgot to put it back up to how long I needed it so its on the shortest length it does. I do one little stripe look at the guard and think ,"wow... that took out alot..." then i look at the mirror... I had one spot on the side of my head that was NEARLY bald... I just about flip a brick. haha! So we decide the only way to fix it is to go really short on the sides. luckily i was able to save the top. but right now I totally have a military hair cut. super short on the sides and long enough on top to still be able to do a little bit of something on top. now my hair has already grown out enough to where its pretty blended and looks good now. but goodness that first day was a nightmare... haha!
So I think you might be interested in knowing that i´m getting really into cooking all of the sudden on the mission. we´ve realized that we´ve been morons all of our mission and there are about a billion recipes online that we can just right down and try at home. its been going really good. we´ve already made pizza, cake, chips, cookies, and a bunch of other stuff which i just cant remember at the moment. its all from scratch too. maybe when i come home i´ll have to impress you all with my newly found cooking skills.
Well also the work is going super good too. We have a 17 year old boy who is wanting to get baptized this saturday. he is like one of the elect people i´ve ever worked with. he has all the greatest questions and he pretty much knows everything about the plan of salvation. even the parts about baptisms for the dead and continuous progression throught the eternities become similar to god. he´s quite a unique kid. he´s even started showing the book of mormon to his freinds and when his friend laugh at him he relates himself to nephi in his situation with laman and lemuel. he´s pretty much just awesome.
so yep the work and life is going really well. i´m loving my situation on the mission. its just a blast. we even got the shower fixed this week. no more ice baths in the morning. =) so life is great hope its just as good for you guys at home. keep being awesome! buh bye! till next week.
