Happy Canada Day and Independence Day!

Good morning! : D

Nope, didn’t get my face painted for Canada Day and I didn’t see anyone with a painted face either. The ward did have a BBQ, and I guess we could have gone since it was our P-day, but we were busy cleaning the whole time so instead of celebrating Canada’s independence from Great Brittan, we fought for our own independence from dirt. We did a halfhearted, at best, job cleaning the car and apartment a few weeks back (because we got distracted playing Frisbee with the District and ran out of time) and we never really recovered. So we were due for a deep clean, and both the car and the apartment are looking good now.

I also cut two Elders hair yesterday. I can’t remember if I told you or not but a few months back I got sick of other people doing an awful job cutting my hair, and so I decided that I couldn’t do much worse myself so I have been cutting my own hair for a while now and so far everything seems to be going good (but you wouldn’t know otherwise since you haven’t gotten pictures in like FOREVER. I do feel bad about that, I really do, I’ll get right on that. I’m 500 lbs. btw. So FAT!) Anyway! both Elder S’s in my District; Zone Leader Elder S, and greenie Elder S, thought I did an alright job on my own hair, and I guess they figured if I did an okay job on my own hair I couldn’t do too terrible of a job on theirs, so they both asked me to cut their hair yesterday, and I think they turned out alright. We will see if they ask me to cut their hair again, then we'll know what they really thought. ;)

Anywho! I thence for titled myself Zone Barber, which is far better than my previous title of Poverty Boy. I ran out of money for food early last month because I didn’t budget well, and so I was mooching food left right and center. I did end up buying some stuff on personal funds last week, and I do feel bad about that but I was hungry and that frozen food tasted so good!! I had to buy pens anyway, right?

Oh, and I totally did see that broadcast. https://www.lds.org/training/wwlt/2013/hastening/special-broadcast?lang=eng

 IT WAS SO GOOD!! You have to watch it! Watch it now! And then watch it again! And then tell me what you thought... in your letter... because I don’t have that much longer on the computer. I took a really long time to email the Mission President today. :/

 Anyway, I love and miss you all terrible much. Time flies when you're having fun. Pigs fly when you throw them far. And when it’s hot out have a Melona Bar. (I think the company that makes them is called Bingrea, or something like that. You should try them if you can find them. They are super good! )

Love,

Elder Thomson

P.S. I miss the Wolfe’s already!! :(  Make sure they know exactly where they have to be on September 10th 2014. That’s right! Back in Corvallis... or else! ;P
