Jake's from August 6, 2012

Well I can say that this has been the very hard week. But I think I’m past the shock stage. So how is everything holding up? I saw the pictures too. It looked good. The President helped me a lot and the call made it a lot better. But it still hurts. It’s still hard to teach the plan of salvation without tearing up. It sucks because they ask what’s wrong but I don’t want to tell them. And also our area is not doing so good. I don’t know why. Our numbers this week were horrible but I feel that we put in a big effort. But I guess I’m just getting tested. Who did you all see at the funeral? Was it a fight like grandpas funeral? Or a lot calmer? Well some fun things happened this week. I threw flaming knives into a door in our house. That was fun. And dang I can’t think of anything else right now. I think I’m gaining a little weight here, but that I heard is to be expected. I just want to get thin. And we have our zone conference tomorrow. I guess we will see how that goes. And we are having a bunch of General Authorities come to the mission soon. First one of the 70 then we are having Elder Scott come. Ya its exciting but I’m also scared for all of the guilt trips and dropping the Cain. But I think I can handle it. It’s only an Apostle of the Lord....ahhhhhhh!! Ok I’m normal again. And my house has been interesting because we just talk about video games all day. So they have convinced me to buy some when I get home. Well I love you all and don’t worry about me. I will be fine. It was the shock and I think its wearing off...love ya'll
