Whoa whoa whoa what are you planning on doing with my computer? That is my baby. Has my name etched on the bottom of it and everything. Ha ha but I can't really upgrade that computer so I probably will want a new one. What I would love is a really cool Desktop that I can game from and upgrade and stuff and then like a little 100-200 dollar notebook that I take to classes to take notes on and stuff. MaryJane (the laptop I have now) is just too big to take to class. So I would hope to get that when I get home. Idk only speculating. The answer is no though I wasn't planning on having MaryJane for very long. I was going to sell her pretty soon after I got home. 

So my prayers were answered this week and I guess Jaylen didn't pass her driving test ha ha just kidding. She better take that test 7 times and pass it every time before she drives ha ha. Tell her that she isn't allowed to go on a date with a boy especially one named Baylor. Gosh Texans have the weirdest names. At least he plays sports so he'll be a little normal. 

I totally forgot about that CD that I made for mom. That was like my Jr. year I think. That is pretty cool. That is cool to hear about Nate also. I am glad that he is happy now. He sent me a letter on my mission. I never wrote him back though. I am pretty bad at that ha ha. 

So tragedy struck this week. My bike tire bent. I was just pedaling along and then my front tire caught on something and my entire wheel looks like a taco now. That is why I had some purchases this week. I had to get a new axel and some other things from amazon. Luckily our investigator Marc works and manages a bike shop for really hi end bikes. He hooked me up with some sick discounts and is fixing my bike for free. So a huge blessing there. A 100 dollar repair just costs about 40 bucks now. But he can only fix it on Tuesday so we have been walking for the most part this past week which is hard but we have been doing good. 

Our investigator Lisa Clark has a baptismal date for the 19th of January and then Marc has a date for the 27th so we are super excited about that. They are both on track to hit those dates. 

I am learning lots of love and patience with Elder Parry. I have learned to just laugh and not really worry about things like that so much. It has been great and I am having a ton of fun with him. He has had an obsession with racist jokes lately and thinks that they are so funny. He loves to tell them to everybody that we meet. One of his favorite is. How do Chinese people name their children? They throw pots and pans down their stairs. We live in a community of about 70% Asian. It doesn't go over to well ha ha. 

I have to go but I love you all. Thank you for everything that you do!

Love,

Connor
