E-mail from Neal - Received 7-9-08

Hello fam!!!

Well even though I am not around you all it still sounds like life is
crazy!!! Just kidding, i was never that large of a portion of it. It
sounds like everything is going well though, and that life is moving
along quite nicely. I don't quite know what to say about my room though!
I think i will go with this. HOLY CRAZY OFFICE ROOM BATMAN!! (american
response). YOU RE-DID THAT WELL PROPER!! (british answer). Am i gonna
get that back when i come home, cause my guess is no ha ha ha! I am glad
to hear that you are eating well without me too. Don't worry i am eating
just as good over here. Believe it or not, i am putting on weight. I
know, i know stop the presses, alert the media!!! Neal is getting a
little fatter. Trust me i am annoyed, and i am not going to stand for
it. We just got some weights from an investigator, so i am going to be
working my little missionary tail off to get back to where i was.
Between that, and walking everywhere i should be ok. The problem is that
people seem to shovel it into me as fast as i get it off. Its a vicious
cycle!!!!!!

This week has been hard to say the least. We are in a dry spell, and we
are trying our hardest to get out of it. No new investigators for quite
a while, and the ones that we have aren't going anywhere fast. We are not
giving up though. We are working a lot with members, and with
Less-actives though so we are keeping busy. Really busy. I haven't felt
so good the past few days, so that has really made things tough as well.
Being sick on a mission really stinks!!!! Especially when you have to
walk everywhere! I am doing much better now though, and i am sleeping
like a rock which is great! Elder Smith is great. He is so funny, and
crazy, and he is always having fun. It took him a little bit to get
warmed up in the companionship, but now we are having a lot of fun. It
makes things move a lot faster when we are having fun, and joking
around. Thats how me and E. Garcia were, and thats the way that it
should be.

Zone conference is tomorrow, and i finally get
to meet Pres and Sis Bullock! Its been like 2 weeks, but hey thats just
how it goes. I think that its funny though. My First zone confernece was
on my Birthday, and my second one is on Mom's Birthday. With that being
said HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are going to really enjoy your present i think. I hope that craig
liked his. Anyways, i am excited to meet the new president and i am
really excited for zone conference. I should get your package tomorrow
if you sent in to the mission office, thats how it works. I have to wait
for Zone Conference or Interviews to get big stuff, but thats ok i
guess.


I LOVE YOU ALL SO SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for all of your support!!!!!!!!!!!
Elder Johnson

p.s. I hope that you have gotten that this is my weekly letter. This is
the easiest for me, and i do write a lot so i think that this should
cover everything!

Picture - Elder Smith bought Coconuts..... But I thought that they were
tropical!!!!!
