Dear Mom,

What a week I had. Lets just start off by letting you know my monday. So p-day started out normal by emailing and such and then shopping. We were going to go play some disc golf but the elder I was with got sick and My comp and his comp went together to the dentist so we were together. He had to go to the hospital and so we went to barnes Jewish Hospital ( way good hospital by the way) and was in the ER/Trauma center for 5 and 1/2 hours!!! It really made made me want to become a doctor even more! Tuesday I trained in district meeting on Charity and Focused on the talk by elder wirthlin called the great commandment. Anyway after that we went to our investigators home and we were able to set a baptism date with her...its not very solid but its still a date. For November 14th. The on Wed. it was just a typical day for us here in pagedale. same with thursday...
Now here is the wonderful day of the week...FRIDAY..
so the day started out normal..we went and contacted. Then we went to go see some people, all of which did not answer. On our way across our area we took a bus that took us into the really bad part of the ghetto and we had to get off the bus and walk down the street to get to where we were going. As we were crossing the street I was putting something into my backpack and A huge Pitbull started running and Me and mY comp. I was caught off guard and was really scared. Once it decided that it was going to be hard to eat my companion it decided to go after me. I was freaking out and so scared I was able to stomp on its face kinda and kick it a little but it kept coming...as I was winding up to kick it really hard I fell right on my Butt...scraping my hand and such It was all in slow motion but I got up quick and a car driving by saw and pulled up the sidewalk and was honking trying to scare the dog it must have worked cause when I turned around after getting up it was already runing the other way..I was so full of adrenaline after and was way pissed and scared. We then mowed some random ladies yard just down the street...Then later that night we went to catholic mass!!! Holy cow the basilica was so pretty! but I know now why im not catholic..it was rediculous..but anyway that was my week..haha.

me: I am running late this morning!

I haven't even gone into work yet

Tyler: I can tell

8:25 AM so Im emailing you right now

so I have still not gotten the pictures..

me: really... they shipped last week... that is weird...

Tyler: yeah...

8:26 AM me: I think I got an email on Wednesday that said they had shipped

Tyler: but anyway let me finish my email real quick and we can chat after

me: ok

8:40 AM Tyler: you get it?

me: yes... I am reading it now

Tyler: ok
