Questions:
Tonight in my BOM reading to griffin, we came upon (again) someone's ignominious death. Do you remember who that happened to? AND the person he killed to get the ignominious death is one of my favorite people in the BOM.
It was one of the antichrists, not sure i can pull out his name though... hmm wow for some reason right now i cant remember any of the antichrist's names, i'm pretty sure he killed gideon though. right now i'm in mosiah, reading about abinadi.
How was church for you on Sunday?
Pretty good, our investigator, Bonnie came again today and had another good day. She is right at the point where a lot of things are starting to click together for her, and thats because she is finally really trying to read the BoM consistently, even though she doesnt necessarily understand all that she is reading the is still receiving the added light and knowledge that is promised by reading it. Also, sadly today elder's quorem class started and there was only the 2 missionaries, the teacher, and one other person there. the elder's quorem president says that the big problem in that is because no one is home teaching! so hes putting a big stress on it. but more good news, we had like 4 less active members come to church on sunday that we have been teaching, and more to come next week if all goes well.
Do you remember what songs you sang? We sang It came upon a midnight clear.
I dont know if its a canadian thing or what but always there is one song in the end that no one ever knows, forgot the title of that one. oh i remember the another one we sang "little town called Bethlehem" hmm the more i think about it that title doesnt sound like a real hymn, but the title looked a little like that.
HEY I REMEMBERED HIS NAME!!! i believe the antichrist's name was Korianton? hmm i hope that is at least the name of some antichrist.
Who else lives in your "house"? I know you have your own apartment, but wondering, are the other people the actual owners, or are they members of the church? I assume you have talked to them.
no members of the church, i think the owner lives in the house in front of our building. we really havnt talked to the people actually, they are always either gone or inside, we might make em cookies and wish them a merry christmas some time though.
Any good food stories?
everyone here is just too white, no weird food made or anything. i did realize this week that about half my ties have some sort of stain on them somewhere though, i just havnt realized it because i can always wear a sweater, but i had to wear a suit one day and i pulled out 3 different ties before i found a clean one. i guess a tie makes a really good bib because only 2 of my shirts have stains on them, and both of those are ink, so i'm doin pretty good with my shirts.
any good driving stories?
so there is an active woman in the ward who about 7 years ago was in a bad car crash with a drunk driver, and now has a lot of problems with moving too much and heavy lifting. She has an 11 year old daughter who just got baptized this year because the father was anti, so we are over there a lot helping out. she is super nice and gets us stuff all the time, calls herself the mission mom, she gave us each like 5 pairs of thermal socks and beanies (or touc if i wanna be canadian). Anyway we were over there the other day and we found some tubes of bubble soap in the house and she said we could take them. We discovered that if you go the right speed, if you put the tube outside of the car and lift the bubble wand up just enough it shoots a ton of bubbles everywhere! so dang sweet... the cars behind us didnt think it was as cool as we did though...
What is going on for p-day today?
maybe some wood working stuff, really not sure. we went to oshawa last week for sports and the zone leaders told us not to drive out any more on mondays so we can save out kilometers, laaame.
have you discussed the google chat or skype call that we will have on Christmas, like where you will be able to do this, etc.?
actually yes we did, probably google chat around 4 or 5 my time. we were at a lady's house for dinner yesterday and she asked us what we were doing for us and she told us to come to her place to do it around that time.
I would like to say that I REALLy like having your emails come earlier. That is nice.
my companion likes to email before we go shopping unlike most, i will keep that in mind though
So we had our regular ward christmas party last saturday, which was pretty sweet. there were tons of less actives there that we invited. one baked a cake that was like 9 inches tall, pretty awesome. bonnie was going to go to that too but she took some pain pills (because she has broken ribs) and said they make her a little loopy so she said she shouldnt go. pretty funny. Also the young men's president set up a blue screen (like a green screen but blue) and had it set up so people could take pictures in front of it and put some random backgrounds behind it. Elder DeWaal and i took one in front of the abominable snowman from the rudolph movie. we havnt gotten it yet so i cant send it.
alright thats about it,
I love you!
Quinn
