also i got dad's message about leshon mccoy being traded which sounds a bit silly to me but whatever.
i'm glad patriarch mc ewin got some good recognition this week. i remember him talking baring his testimony in sacrament one time a few years ago (before i got my patriarchal blessing) saying that he was about to become emeritus status then some general authority or someone told him that he could keep going. of all those stake presidents i recognize all the names but i probably could only pick out the faces of the turtle man and president magnuson.
That was a great wooram story, very funny. i'm glad he stood his ground. what is he doing right now, is he taking some classes at PCC or something?
glad to get my card and the sd card. i have purposefully been taking a bunch of pictures this time so maybe i will try to send the card down again once the tranfer ends in a couple weeks (the 22nd i believe, same time as our stake conference). i feel bad but i dont really get the joke when you said the card would be less relevent after saturday. i'm guessing it has something to do with the 3 4 5 part of the date but i cant figure out any more.
QUESTIONS:
Do you remember when your picture was taken at the special conference?
I do that was this week on friday (february 27). hmmm i feel like i meant to tell you to tell you to watch out for it, i guess not. i am glad i didnt have to skype in either that kinda would have stunk
Tell us about the time change! How did you know, did you change your clocks?
many different random church people on saturday told us about it. i told them they shouldnt have told us as we were blissfully unaware of the time change, but now that we became accountable to it we actually had to follow it. also the next morning bishop called us to let us know there would be no ward council that morning because there was an unexpected snow storm, at the end of the phone call he said "and i hope you guys were aware of the time change last night"
were you given permission to go snow shoeing?
oh man, i totally forgot about that. i will definately try my best to remember this week, we will see. i might not have too much more time, apparently this next week is going to be blazing hot all positives all week.
How was your testimony meeting yesterday? With so few people coming to church, do most people bear their testimony, or do you have long blank spaces?
no testimony meeting yesterday, we do things right up here in canada and actually hold our testimony meetings on the first sunday of the month. it was good a week ago though. not too much empty space. some people rambled on a little long though. one old man as he was baring his testimony, halfway through he had forgotten what he said and repeated the same thing over again, it was pretty funny. bishop had to tap his shoulder to let him know he was taking a little too long.
do you and your companion usually do something to help with the sacrament each week?
not really actually, it is handled pretty well without the missionaries. this last sunday we did pass the sacrament though, it was nice.
what are you doing for p-day today?
pool, email, the young men have been making potato cannons and we are having dinner at the young men's president's home tonight so we might come early so we can see him shoot off a couple. sadly no snowshoeing today.
do you have any dinner appts set up this week?
a bunch, 5 of 7 days! last week we had very few but throughout the week, random people gave us calls and invited us over for dinner, it was very nice. a couple less active members had us over.
how is your family with all the sick kids, did you get to see them this week? I hope so!!
the parents were very sick this week! i guess the disease was working though everyone. like everyone up here is sick again even outside of their family.
Is this the place where you play volleyball every week? If yes, do you enjoy it; is it well attended? how long do you play?
yes it is! i greatly enjoy it, every once and a while i have to remind myself im a missionary though so i cant go quite so hard as a normally would to make sure i dont get hurt. it goes for 2 hours, we normally make sure to set up an appointment with several people while we are there
Any interesting food stories?
not this week :(
Any interesting general stories?
sadly kind of a boring week
driving stories?
again not so much
thats about it,
I love you!
