Gym Time

February 13, 2016

Hey All,

This week was pretty boring, to be totally honest. I feel like every week in the office is exactly the same, and it is especially rough because one secretary left to fill a hole in another area, so we all have to work more in the office trying to do what he normally did. It hasn't left much room for working in the field, but it will be over soon. Wednesday is change day.

BIG NEWS: I don't have changes. Actually, I got to have a little mini interview with President Klein on Wednesday, and he told me that I was for sure going to finish my mission here. I feel weird not being worried about getting changed every six weeks. But let me tell you, it is funny when President just shows up in your office and is like, "Elder Aldrich, can I have a word with you?" I still am not used to him being so close all the time.

This week Elder Hodson and Elder Hansen (the APs) convinced me to go to the gym with them in the mornings. It has been a blast, but man am I sore! We did legs on Thursday and I can barely go up the stairs in our house, but I'm sure it will get better as I go more frequently. Elder Hodson is on his way back to Las Vegas THIS WEEK, which is so baggy (trunky) that I can barely stand being around him. ¡Huele a muerto! Haha.

We are going to make being in the office kind of like a game this next change. We are going to make a rule that the first ones done get the car, but you can't take the car before four in the afternoon. That way no one will waste their morning to stay late, because there are no busses home at 8pm (and I would never ride a bus at 8pm in San Pedro. That would be like asking for someone to kill you). It should help to keep the Elders out of the office and in their areas.. Maybe we might even baptize some people! Haha.

Anyway, I hope that you all have a great week. I can't wait to share some more great experiences. Read your scriptures, pray, go to church. Do it. Haha.

Elder Aldrich
