Oh C_ap!!!!








Hey everyone!

So this week has been hilariously busy. Some of the pictures may be a little graphic. And by some, I mean one. You'll heart he story soon enough. But let's start at the beginning of this crazyweek.

Wednesday, we had a zone service project. We stacked like 20,000,000 pieces of wood. It was pretty insane, but fun because so many people were there.

Thursday, I went on an exchange with my zone leader Elder Shafercotter (WAY cool. and I think I spelt his name WAY wrong). I went to his area (Middleton. Hooray!) and had a blast. He is the district leader of the other district which meant that we went to 2 district meetings (man I feel bad for zone leaders! haha). I did get to see some people I knew last year and it was really fun.

Friday was mission tour. This is like zone conference only it's in Boise and someone big comes. We had Elder Kenneth B Johnson of the 70 from England (Hey Jake!). It was pretty intense. It was fun though because I got to see so many of my missionary friends all at once. After driving back to Caldwell, we had dinner and went BACK to Boise for a fireside Elder Johnson held. It was pretty good.

Saturday (WARNING:This day was SOO insane, those not capable of reading beyond crazy things should stop now). I don't even remember the order things happened on Saturday. But we'll focus on Elder Naylor for now. We went to Los Betos for breakluch meal thing, and he got this huge bacon burrito. After that, we went to Sonic to get happy hour and he always jokes around saying, "you can get anything you want in a drink right? I'm gonna get bacon!" Well...he actually did it. He ordered a Caramel milkshake with bacon. I guess it is against Sonic policy to put Bacon in a milkshake, so the guy brought out his milk shake and gave him some free strips of bacon. Which he put in the shake and ate. Later that day, we had an All-you-can-eat corn feed. Elder Naylor decided that he could out-eat anyone there and be like his hero Johnny Chestnut. He than proceded in eating 10(!!!!) ears of corn. Along with a burger and brownie to finish it off like a champ. That night we went home (elder Naylor being a pretty sick boy at this point) and since it was early, decided to hang in the back yard where the temperature was nice. Well after a few hours and planning and stuff, we decided to head in and go to sleep. This did not end up happening, because as we headed in, Elder Tobin fell off the swing and it somehow came back around and hit him in the head. We didn't think it was a big deal at1st until massive amounts of blood started running down his face. I grabbed the car keys as fast as I could and we BOOKED it to the hospital. (I think angels were distracting all the cops, keeping them off that road. haha) He ended up getting 7(!!!) staples in his head.So crazy.

Because of the head injury, he couldn't attend church so I stayed home with him the next day. Kinda boring since he couldn't do anything. But really that sums up this crazy week. My only questions is why are we still using staples in peoples heads? haha. You'd think we'd have some super technological way to seal the cut, but nope. Common staples probably purchased at a $1 store. haha.

Well, Hope yourday is awesome.

Love ya all!

In Addition:
I forgot to tell you something very important that happened on saturday. A good friend of mine named Spencer A.K.A Elder Wenzel came to visit. It was a short visit, but he brought me a movie he put together that we made last transfer. Hilarious and amazing. I'll try to send you a copy. Just know its the greatest. haha. Love ya!

End of summer must be a dangerous time to be a missionary.

Too many injuries!

This may be the first time I've heard of staples resulting from a swingset.

"Common staples probably purchased at a $1 store" gave me a good laugh, though!

My son the Baconator. Makes a mother proud?!

I wish Jordan wrote such detailed letters.

I love Brad's sense of humor. Work hard/play hard is a good motto to live by.

Ahhh when I first opened this post, I thought it was Elder Woods, and I said to myself..."that's it. Janet is probably on her way up there".
So sorry for the staple incident! I thought the end of the story was that they admitted Elder Naylor to the hospital, too!
