Week 61!

hey,

this week has been pretty interesting!  first off, i got you package!!! thanks soo stinkin much for sending me a halloween package!!! all the guys in the house LOVED their crap they got!  second off,  so... you know how every now and then i talk in my sleep???  well...  it started up again, BUT instead of talking normally my comp told my that i started sleep talking in Spanish!!!  haha he told me that in this last week i have: given a lesson, contacts, asked for directions, and even prayed in spanish in my sleep!  haha weird stuff eh? haha i thought it was pretty interresting when he told me that.  FUNNY/SAD thing: so Elder Navarro has a problem with random swelling in his lips, every now and then his lips start to swell in like one part of his lip and within 20 minutes it's completely gone and fine... it's weird because it's happened like 4 times while he's been with me.  he doesn't know why it happens, but this last thursday it happened again, BUT... it was worse than usual!!!  do you all remember the movie "Hitch"?  when will smith has the alergic reaction to the fish?  welp... that's pretty much what happened with him!!!!!!  yeah...............  at the beginning it was funny because it always happens and it's no big deal but this time it spread to his whole face!  yeah so i stopped laughing and it was getting pretty serious. luckily everything is good with him now, his swealing is completely gone and he has no side affects.  he just has to figure out what it is that makes these reactions...  ANOTHER FUNNY STORY: so... Elder Seigel and i were ready to leave to work after lunch to go to appointments that both of our wards had but for some pointless reason BOTH of our comps ended up falling asleep on their beds... so what did we do? haha there is a term for what we did called "Antiquing" haha and what you do is lightly cover someone that is asleep in flour as if it looked like dust (like on an antique) haha and IT WORKS!!! it was soo stinking funny the only part that we failed at was dusting their faces because they woke up while we started to do their faces.  it was soo freaking hilarious and my comp thought it was funny BUT NOT the comp of elder Seagel, his name is Elder Valencia and he's from Chile...  he's super annoying and tries to be way to serious and stuff that shouldn't he serious.  he needs to learn a lesson in FUNNESS!!!  but hey, don't have much time.  just want to tell you that next week are changes we're having it a wek early because Pres. Heaton has to leave for Buenos Aires for a conference.  we're not sure what day we're going to have p-day but it will be next week! so just look for this email sometime next week!!!

LOVE ALL YA'LL,

Elder Atkinson
