Yeah, I´m still in Tarragona. I could use some more Q-tips, plz. Same companion, though Elder Close is moving out now. Now I´m having to play the usual games to maintain what I´ve got in the apartment-my companion is being a butthead about it. Basically threatened me that if I don´t agree to switch bedrooms (and lose my little study cubby) he´ll make sure I´ll lose my study cubby no matter what(since he´s ´friends´ with the new District Leader that´s coming in)...well, you can guess how well I took that. Needless to say, I won´t be switching bedrooms, nor will I be losing my office. I took the small bathroom, the small fridge, I gave this companion the nice mattress, lots of space, and even a few spare spaces in my office. Ya esta. No mas.

Why is it that all my companions from Utah are boneheads? It´s like some kind of entitlement syndrome.

I´d heard that something had happened in Arizona, but I wasn´t able to get many details(he was kinda old). It´ll probably start getting worse from here on out. Sounds like that´s another end of Tucson to stay out of, though. Remember that shooting at that Eegees a long time ago back when we lived there?

My guess is that they´ll start looking at Secret Service protection for Congress as well, now. It´ll probably lead to a huge debate on banning all guns in the US now. That happened when Senator Brady was shot. You´ll have to keep me informed on what happens in the aftermath.

Sorry to hear the funeral was rough, but at least you´re through it now. We´ve got a pretty good ward, so be greatful for that. You wouldn´t believe the huge amount of politics that goes on in the wards here in Spain...a lot of grudges. Lot of inactive members over offenses and things, too.

Poor booboo...now she´s got an electric fence. Probably thinks she´s being abused right now.

Well, Binner didn´t send me one last week either....

Nothing really bombastic this week. We were passing by some old addresses I´d taken down. One of them turned out to be an inactive member from Nigeria...who´s married to a non member. We had a lesson with them and set a baptismal date with his wife. Guy´s really nice, he´s just been inactive first because no one spoke English in the ward, then later he just didn´t come because it´d become habit. Was in the bishopric, the elders quorum presidency, all kinds of things back in Africa. Now that we´ve got some more africans here in the ward, he´ll have people he can talk with, so it´ll be better at church for them now. Both are in their early thirties, they´ve got two little girls as well.

Not a whole lot else planned for this week, I think. Things should be pretty calm and quiet.

Sewing a project for art? Is it like thread the yarn through a plastic frame, or real sewing?

Okay, I don´t think I have anymore. Hope you all have a good week.

Bradley.
