Hi mom!
Yeah finally! Missionary work is heard over the holidays! Glad you all finally got it! I was wondering when it'd get there.
Haha! Well sucks to be him. He'll just have to try harder next time. Yup, i know exactly what you mean :)
Sweet! When I get home he can go out running with me in the mornings huh? And I'll be looking forward to seeing you two at the game! That'll be so fun!
Good for her! She'll be really happy she did that too. Tell her to go to the campus by our house if she can, it's a good one and in walking distance.
Just do your best mom, I know you'll be great as it and you'll learn how to still have fun while you lead. Just go out for a walk if things start getting bad and remember we're all rooting for you!
Transfers should be fun this time since I know i'm going and I might get the chance to train. I'm really happy that i'll pretty much for sure be staying in Montana for right now since i'm the only one available that knows the area and the investigators. It's be super fun! We'll know by next saturday.
This was a fun week, even if the work has been a little slow. The holidays makes being a missionary hard because everyone is too busy to talk to you or to meet. But we had fun. We went to our wards new years party for a little bit and ate posole and watched them dance to the mexican music. We left at nine but found out afterwards that one of our investigators was there and the bishop was laughing because all the single women were out hunting that night. He had a good time. Generally he's really awesome! He's just ready to change his life. We went over this week to teach him the word of Wisdom and when we walked in the the big bottles of alcohol that lined his counter were gone! We hadn't even said anything yet! He's just been making this little, and big, changes in his life without prompting from us.
Another woman we teach is amazing. She's so ready for this and wants to follow it, she just having a really hard time with her husband. He pretty much thinks we're a cult, and they've had some fights about it. But she's stood strong and told him to not judge it until he comes and talsk to us. He's slowly softening and being more okay with the idea of her being baptised.
Sister Jewkes who lives with us was telling us scary stories New Years night. She used to serve on a reservation and told us how they lived in this trailer in the middle of nowhere with the closest nightbor across a field. And how skinwalkers would attack the house in the night and just sit there all night knocking on the bedroom wall and walking on top of the roof chanting. Creepy! She told us about them and they're basically the gadianton robbers in this day. They're still around! She asked me how I'd already heard of them and I just told them I'm a walking google. They've named me googlewalker now.
New Years was crazy. explosions went off all night and at midnight guns went off like crazy and fireworks! I pretty much just dozed all night and listened to the guns. Oh and the Sisters tried to order pizza that night. The place called back five mintues later. "Hi, what was your address again?" "Oh it's....ect" "That's what i thought. Sorry, we don't deliver there after dark." Good to know.
We went to our wards choir practice the other night. Yeah about that...... Mexicans can't sing. It was kind of a blind leading the blind moment. It's a very good thing we'll be helping them and singing with them.
Love you all! Hope you're having a great week!
Oh yeah, we went hiking and there was a pack of coyete's howling like crazy! I got it on camera, it was awesome! I'll try and send it next week.
