So. This week has been one heck of a ride. I'll list out the things that have transpired within this 7 day time limit and then write the individual stories below.

First thing: (not as bad but made me sad) We closed up the Melville house this week

Second: We watched somebody go through a seizure

Third: We traversed town in -40 degree windchill (whoops)

Fourth: We survived something I'm sure was going to give us food poisoning

Fifth: We rekt a coyote with our car and in turn got our car rekt

So yeah if the rest of my transfer goes like this I might get Emergency Transferred to the Spirit World.

First of all I was very sad about closing the Melville house. It was what I called home for so long and now it's empty and barren. But, one fun thing we got to do was drag one of the chairs that we were taking to the dump behind our car. If I have time I'll send pics. It really did happen.

Second, the seizure happened to one of my friends I've made out here on the mission. I won't say names and stuff but it was freaky. I was so glad that his mom had told me that he has seizures sometimes but Elder Cox didn't know. So he was going to shake our hands and he started jumping around and said "getting a little twitchy" and just like that he was down. I almost caught him on the way down but he hit his head pretty hard. Elder Cox was stunned for a bit while I was rolling him on his side but soon ran in to get his mom. She rushed out and checked him out. We weren't going to call 911 until he got out of it for a bit then went back in. So I called 911. Looking back on it I was honestly surprised how calm I was during the whole thing. I blame it on my training and preparation from scouting and NYLT. So yeah we went with them to the hospital and gave him a blessing. It was a day.

Third, I have made an observation that when you get to a certain temp. It doesn't feel like cold anymore it just feels like pain. It's not fun I would not recommend it to anybody.

Fourth, Tom a Taiwan native had us over for dinner. He loves feeding the missionaries and loves feeding them a LOT of food. But, when chicken goes from the freezer, to under the bathroom sink to thaw it, to putting it in a pot of boiling water, to our plates in less than 45 minutes I was scared. I did indeed eat it and survive. He also put corned beef out and I ate that as well.

Fifth, and this happened last night, we were coming home from the H's and we had just got done joking about pulling us out of a ditch when not five minutes later we hit a coyote. The dumb beast decided to run along the road and not into the ditch and we cared more about our lives than it's life. So we hit it going at a decent speed and launched it about 50 yards into the ditch. I wasn't the one driving so I was just freaking out. But when we were going back to check it out we saw pieces of stuff on the road and they were red. So we were like "We'VE JuST BlowN this COyoTE to BITS!" it wasn't until we got closer to the incident that we saw that they were pieces of our red car. So yeah I'll send some pics of that as well if I have time.

Lots of fun. I really hope that I survive this transfer but if not I love you all or as the natives say it love youz.
