day 110

well this week has been a short one but also really hard on me. i feel like im still really new to this whole thing and i don't feel comfortable planning out our days cause there aren't very many people we can see in knoxville. i guess its time to start tracting and finding other ways to find people. so i do have a funny story kinda. so elder kendell and i went to dairy queen to eat lunch the other day and i got some chicken strips and so we waited and got our food and the lady walked away too fast for me to ask her for something so i go up to the counter and get there and nobody is looking at me and didn't look like they wanted to help me so i just asked "do you have any frysauce?" and they all turned and stared at me and then the lady finally said..."what?" as soon as she said that i remembered that they don't have "frysauce." so i quickly tried to save my faux pas by asking for some ketsup instead and it happened to be on the table already where we were sitting. i felt so embarrassed. so i walked back to our table quickly and quietly so that i didn't do anything else dumb.

so transfers were good. we had a good ride up there and i slept most of the way to iowa city where transfers were. i was able to see elder herrin and elder holmes and also elder brandly. i finally saw the third member of my highschool in my mission. elder prows. he is training now.

uh this week was really short but it seems to be just as long as any other normal week in between emails.
