1. I've been looking at the weather
in your area and it seems like it's pretty cold. Are you sure you don't need a
better coat/boots?
1.The weather hasn’t been too
terrible. It’s been in the 50's mostly and drops lower in the night but not too
bad. I’ll look for a better coat, but there’s not anywhere to buy one so I’ll
let you know.
2. Did you get the gloves and hats?
2. I did...love them all. They’re very
nice to have so thank you.
3. You have transfers today! Please make sure you
tell us if you're staying or going. And if you're going I need your new address
asap to send a few Christmas things...
3. So
yeah transfers are a little crazy! Elder Stoddard is leaving. I’m staying here.
They are making me the district leader and I will be training a new missionary
as well. That might not sound crazy to you but I just finished my training and
now I’m training so it’s crazy! I’m way excited for it though. It will bring
some new adventures. So I’ll have to go up to Spokane on Tuesday and on Friday
this week. So lots of traveling and meetings this week.
4. How is
your investigator Tyler doing? I liked hearing about him last week.
4. Tyler is doing good. He is still
super solid and really searching and coming to church and wants to get baptized,
but his church that he goes to right now is crazy. They are super anti and hate
us. But he is freaked out by them because they follow him and watch him and
stuff and have really weird rules so yeah he wants to leave. But he rents from
a member there so he’s scared if he leaves that they will kick him out of his
place and he’ll get treated badly. So yeah crazy stuff there. Pentecostal
churches are weird.
Well my week was mostly normal and
lots of running around. We had a temple trip on Thursday and that was way fun. But
a lot of driving. The temple
trip was with two ward members that drove us up. The temple is called the Spokane
temple and it’s super small. Only one endowment room.
Then we had zone training on Friday
so more driving. Then transfers and that exciting news. I hope my new companion
is cool. I really can’t believe they’re letting me train. I feel like a new
missionary still and so it’s kinda weird.
Christmas time is coming! They put
up a bunch of lights in our town and so that’s fun. I miss having our house all
decorated and stuff. Nobody goes all out inside their house like we do, except
for the Degroots. They have like 4 full sized Christmas trees in their house.
So for Christmas skyping we need to coordinate
a time to do that. What time works best for your schedule on Sunday? Also it
sounds like we have around 40 minutes to talk so keep that in mind. Well not
much else to update you on. I’ll keep you posted about my new comp and things
like that. Love ya!
