well another transfer has come and gone in the blink of an eye! i cant believe how fast the mission is going! you would think that six weeks would go slower than this but it sure is weird how fast time goes by. this week not very much happened so this will be a pretty short email. i guess i havent told yall where we meet for church yet. since the church building here was destroyed during katrina most of the members moved out of chalmette but we have a very small group of about 30 people who meet each week and its pretty cool, the place we meet is at a lutheran church. the church has rented out a couple of rooms from the lutheran churches primary school building and we meet there for church. its pretty cool. unique. anyways we were sitting at church on sunday and elder caldwell and i were sitting in the back row and this lady walks in a little late with two kids. a couple minutes go by and the little boy starts to get restless, now at the "pulpit" we have a member from the stake presidency talking about the importance of sacrament meeting. anywasy the little kid starts to moan and groan and says that his stomach hurts and as soon as he stands up he just lets out this bright red vomit all over the place and it was slowly creeping over to me! and in the middle of it all one of the members just looks at it and says it loooks like you drank too much juice this morning! ha it was pretty funny. but on a more serious side after that happened all of the mothers rushed to the bathroom and brought out a bunch of cleaning suppllies and stuff like that. and i was thinking to myself about all the times my mom has cleaned up those crazy messes that i would try to stay like 50 feet away from. shout out to my mom for being awesome like that! now for another story. this week we went to go and see a less active and when we walked in her husband was sitting on the couch (ive never seen him before then because he is always working) and so i went up to him to shake his hand and as i reached out my right hand for the handshake he stuck out his right arm and when i went to go shake it i noticed that he, doesnt, have, a, hand... so i shook a nub. probably the weirdest thing i have done in my life... one of these days ill remember my camera and send some pictures. but for now thats about it. im still here in chalmette for at least another six weeks. im thinking that this next transfer elder caldwell will leave and ill train. dont know how i feel about it. love yall! thanks for the prayers and crap! elder horrocks
