Pretty sure that is the back of Adam's head Zone Conference games Sorry I'm emailing late today because we were building one of the members houses all day which was awesome! I just wanted to say enjoy life cuz honestly guys life is beautiful! I know life can be freakin' palpak but you gotta just be happy.  That's the number one thing I've learned out here like this is probably the happiest I've ever been! I still walk miles everyday, I still shower in water imported from Antarctica, I still miss you guys... well some of you guys, I still have to battle elephant eating insects, I still have to eat pigs intestines and other weird foods, I still don't get any Cafe Rio or chocolate milk or  pumpkin cookies or...

My comp is trying to catch a jeep so he just keeps walking and leaves our landlord and here's the thing our house sucks enough so I was like "yo Imma fix whatever he needs" so I stop to talk to him and my comp comes back talks to him for like 5 seconds then is like "K lets go." and so I was like "OK" so we leave. Well we missed the jeep and were just there waiting for the next one and our landlord comes up and just loses it on us. He's basically just saying like "Mormons suck you Mormons are so rude!" and he kept yelling at both of us but every time he'd look at me I'd just pretend I didn't understand so I accessed first week me and just smiled and nodded and he kept looking at me a
