First off thanks for all the package stuff mom! that sounded like a ton of work. Interesting football news also.
Did you get a text about your birthday on your birthday?
no but we did get a call, which was very funny. so for us, after 9:30 on transfer nights on sundays is when either president or an assistant calls. any time in there, it is very exciting because we dont know whether we will get a call or not. so at about 9:45 last night we got a call from president! He started out by saying "hey we dont have any transfer news but we do have something much more important! it's elder Cole's birthday today!" and so after that him and sister clayton sang happy birthday and that was it. it was very funny.
Did anything in particular happen birthdayish on your birthday?
Well the call from president. not necessarily birthdayish but i did speak a quick 5 minute testimony on prayer yesterday during sacrament meeting. it went well, people liked it. I dont think too many people knew it was my birthday, i didnt necessarily broadcast it, i actually forgot it was my birthday several times.
TRANSFERS!! Were you, did you? My guess is no, but what is your news?
Yes! I am going to South Toronto! that includes downtown and all the more famous parts of of toronto. it is a bus area too, i should be talking to about 50 people at least a day! also elder wilson is leaving to kichner which is down by detroit.
You must also have some new companion news to…spill…
my new companion is Elder Burton, which is one of the people who came out with me, I dont know him too well but the little I've talked to him, he is a pretty cool guy. It is sad to leave this area and all the people but I am still excited for the new area. We are whitewashing in as well so i should be interesting,
How will you find out when your birthday box arrives? How will you get your birthday box?
So once it gets to the mission office, the zone leaders in my new zone can pick it up and drop it off to me once we have our next zone training which should be in about a week or 2. so it is very good that it is going to the mission office instead of my old apartment, otherwise i probably wouldnt see it for months.
Have you heard of any stories from other missionaries that have received boxes from the far away country of America?
elder wilson has received a couple, i'm not sure what stories i can say with that though. i dont know if they had to go through all you did.
Any good food stories this week….dinner appts? Eating out, spilling?
Belut, chicken feet, pig feet, pig head :)
so this saturday we had our ward picnic with the fear factor we were in charge of. Brother Crisostimo, a less active trying to return to church, we asked to help buy the food and stuff which he was happy to do. it was a great success. it was pretty much only youth who were willing to try anything (lame). there was 1 adult who took a chicken foot and ate it. I tried all of it. the belut was a lot like a regular hard boiled egg but with an odd meaty flavor... and a crunch... that one was ok. the chicken feet was actually pretty good, it had like orange sauce stuff on it that tasted good, lots of bones. the pig feet was a lot like eating the leg of a chicken, it was delicious, the skin was very thick though and there was lots of fat. it was good. the face was about the same as the leg. sadly I might not have enough time to upload pictures today there are a lot of good ones, will do it next week. if you want to look up on google what the pig looked like, look up leechon. that is just what it looked like.
How are your investigators doing?
keeshon and ashelle got married this weekend, still havnt seen them since our restoration lesson though :(
Anything different for p-day?
packing a lot, also i'm getting a haircut.
Did you play basketball with the youth last week?
yes, it was good. sadly the youth were gone for a temple trip that night, but for 12 and 13 year olds (nonmember) showed up who the ajax sisters invited, that was good. I think they should get along with our youth pretty well.
alright sorry I will try to write more next week,
outta time.
Love you!
Quinn
