Mr. Mean as well as Mr. Bean

hellooo family barton. how are you all doing. sounds like everything is going well there especially in the side of winter...i always enjoyed me a good ol utah spring. things here got really cold haha it was daylight savings this past week which meant an hour extra to sleep on sunday night but now it includes it getting dark at 7 o´clock and finding me and my comp around people that i would not like to be found with when its dark haha as rybart always said "i would hate to run into him in a dark ally" haha so tahts kinda where we find ourselves everynight haha but nothing happens in the end so need to worry. this week i hate the lovely privelage of playing bad cop. president heaton has given us the huge blessing in this message to have dvd players to watch videos to help us become better missionaries. but the lovely missionaries that there are took it where to far. there were some elders in my district who were watching some movies that they shouldnt have been watching haha so me being the district leader was ordered by president heaton and by the zone leaders to go and retrieve the dvd players and take them back to my house hah. so tuesday morning i went over there walked into the house and got the dvd players while they were quite upset with me i simply explained it was under the order of president heaton and the zone leaders. after that moment i waas on the way back to the house i felt soooo sad i didnt really realize how much i loved these elders but i have realy grown to love them and taking away those dvds and them getting mad at me just absolutely killed me and shredded me apart for about the next 2 days. i later went on divisions with one of the elders that was in the house that was being obedient and was the only among the 4 not watching the movies he was sad and depressed and was just really going through a rough time so i just decided to be a light for him and just tried to show him the time of his life in my area i bought him pizza and ice cream brought him to the best people i could to make sure he felt the spirit and it was just like taking about my kid that got a good grade our something haha. ummmm so yea thats really all that went down this week. my change....im staying here in la teja and me and elder morales are staying together, elder harris got bumped up to assistant and elder peterson is a zone leader...here i am still a district leader haha shows how good of a missionary i am haha but i realy am working hard so dont be dissapointed in me haha. but you guys know how i am just being mr competitive, and well as of right now im definately losing to my companions haha i guess i gotta step up my game one more level and crank out some baptisms. we are looking at having about 6 to 8 baptisms this month so i am really excited to be staying here and we will see what happens in these next 6 weeks. thank you all so much for your prayers i need them i love you all so much, keep it gangsta and keep being awesome. -elder michael barton
