Exciting for taylor and sam with their mission papers, that will be cool to see. also the 4.0 from zak is pretty good too.
I didnt even know the football playoffs had started, thats cool. everyone here is watching the U19 (i think) national hockey games, USA lost this week to Canada just barely apparently.
I think i kind of sort of understood what went on with the zak text thing, very funny, i think something like that has probably happened a few times.
excellent new twist on the new years game, many people have asked me what i normally do at home for new years. when i tell them we do a trivia, they always think its kind of funny, would have been even better if i told them that my family had to take shots as punishment for getting answers wrong (and yes club soda is disgusting)
the gospel is good, helps people all the time.
questions:
what happened with you on New Years? Anything?
not much special, on new years eve we were supposed to be in our appartment by 7 so we can avoid all the drunk crazies. then on new year's day, a person in the ward did her new years tradition of having the missionaries over for waffles with ice cream in the middle and raspberries on top. pretty dang good. then later that day we were at a dinner appointment and we got a call from a ward member telling us there was going to be freezing rain and not to go out and a text from the mission telling us not really to go out either, so we were a little stuck at that member's house for a little bit so we helped them take down christmas decorations then drove home (very slowly) for the night.
Did you have appts. on New Years Day?
aside from those 2 members nope, we tried, everyone told us to call em again in the new year, so the freezing rain didnt cause too much of a loss.
Did you talk about the Rose Parade?
nope, i entirely forgot about that until you wrote it in this letter, so i heard no talk about it from anyone else either.
How has the work gone this week?
a little tough because everyone said they were busy this week :(, but we got a couple good lessons in, reconnected with a less active guy who we talked to before, and he came to church.
What are you doing for P-day today?
one of our "investigators" Caelan (a 9 year old son of a member) is having his baptismal interview today and they called and asked us yesterday if we had a little extra time. we told her (the mom) yes, and she said "well maybe we can bring some of our remote control helicopters and fly them around the gym with you guys for a little bit" so that should be really cool, fun.
any good food stories this week?
nope, none outside of what i told you.
Weather still the same?
sadly, its trying to start to get cold now. that freezing rain previously mentioned, then it happened again on saturday night and then it heated up all of a sudden a little more sunday morning so all the snow and stuff turned super sloshy, so everyone freaked out and didnt go anywhere or come to church. it was like 20 people there that sunday. but apparently there should be a cold front moving in the next week or 2 sadly, so much more canada-esque weather going on now.
Any good stories?
well sunday night we called one of the less active people we were teaching, to see if she had a ride to church. she said she was not coming because her husband just went in the hospital because he had bad numonia (i know it starts with a p but however you spell it) and apparently had a heart attack also! we asked if he would like a blessing, she said yes he would love that. the next day at church, we asked in elder's quorem who would join us. the only one who volunteered was this other less active man who came to church (previously mentioned in another question). this man has the Melchizedek and has been living the commandments so it was all good for him to come with us. when we came to the hospital the sick man, also a member but inactive, who had previously told us he was not interested in coming back said that last night he had prayed for the first time in a long time and that he really needed to make some changes in his life and to get back to church and start living the way which he knew he needed to! We gave him a blessing and since then he has been recovering extremely well. really cool.
How was your Sunday? Investigators? any good questions in class?
no investigators, everyone was too scared to drive in the slosh, lame. testimony sunday was good, one member came up and bore his testiomony on the power of testimony as he was working on spreading the gospel, then most people after that talked about something along those lines. then after sacrament meeting a member came up to us and asked us to teach the Youth class because apparently the Youth teacher didnt show up and forgot to tell anyone to sub. so an interesting day at church.
alright thats it,
I love you!!
