hey everyone,
ok well im really really excited to talk to all of you too on sunday, and the 6 o clock your time works out for me too. so you all went through the temple with tenille for the first time, i bet that was a pretty good experience. dad im not really sure if i will be able to go through the temple, i know alot of missionaries that havent been in like 6 months or more. so jord # 1 in tennis singles, that is way cool. it will probably be hard because thats where all of the really good people usually are, but it will help you so much and you will improve alot too, and dude dont worry i probably did worse in calc than you are doing so just keep at it. jonathon that was a good story, i wish i could have been there so me and you could make it worse haha. tiff sounds like everything is going good, especailly now that you know you get to stay in pocatello. and mom to answer some of your questions, the heat... well you know how i said that may was the hottest month, no that when it starts getting really hot. and no im definatly not used to the heat nor do i think that i will ever be used to the heat. ITS ALWAYS SO HOTTT!!!! and especially on sunday, it was fast sunday so i couldnt drink any water or eat any food, one of the worst experiences i have witnessed yet on my mission. that night we didnt have power for most of the night so i didnt even have my fan to cool me down, so throughout the night when i couldnt sleep and was soooooooooo thirsty i would just go and take a cold shower. and i got your suprise today, but its at the zone leaders house so i havnt opended it yet. and elder flake is from mesa arizona. and i figured that brady would go to the provo mtc, and not to the one in brazil because thats what happend to a lot of missionaries. there were even some missionaries that were stuck in the mtc for 14 weeks trying to go to brazil but couldnt cuz they couldnt get their visa. but as for my week, it was pretty alright, nothing special. but you all remember how i said i went to that spring of water last week that cleans you out. well i went back today. and ....... let me just say that i am totally clean!! we went there with a member who knew where to get the water from and how to drink it. so what you do is , you get a bottle of water and chug it. ( this is probably the worst tasting water i have ever tasted in my life, its like salty ocean water but worst, nasty nasty nasty). and then once your done with that one you get another one and chug it. and you keep doing this until you have to do your business out in the woods. so its different for every person, like some have direah and others puke alot. so we start chuggin this water and after about three bottles of water my comp takes of for the woods. and after three for me it did like nothing, i just felt really full of water. so my comp comes back and part of the cleansing process is you have to keep chugging water so it keeps cleaning you out.soi finish my fourth bottle of water and i felt a little sick so i took a little walk and after about 30 steps, i probably had the biggest throw up of my life. it was amazing, serioulsy i was projecting this water like a fire hose. so after like 2 minutes of puking i had to go back and drink some more water. so i would go back, and chug more water and then throw up like crazy!!! so i did this three times, and it was crazy amazing. i recorded me doing it one time so i can show you all later. but my stomach is definatly clean!!! but that is basically it, i cant wait to talk to you all on sunday, and mom i think what will happen is i call you guys really fast and then you call that same number. so at 6 o clock you all be ready to talk to me!! but i love you all . talk to you soon.        love  elder finn
