Thanksgiving was good..

First off i would like to say thank you for the thermals, i haven't gotten them yet but when i do they will be well used because this Thursday the HIGH will be 19, that is insane, i mean seriously who would actually want to live in a place like this. It seems like faster and faster now the weather is helping me explain to people why this message is soo important because if it wasn't true i would never had come to indiana and i WOULD NOT be tracking in 19 degree weather.

Anyways thanksgiving was really good but the sad thing is that we are almost done with the leftovers.

tangent- it snowed Monday and then it all melted by the late afternoon.

A few things happened this week.For one we set a baptismal goal with an investigator for the end of the month. Also we had this sweet zone conference were they scared the crap out of me about driving in the snow and on ice and i think that that was there whole intention. But i think now i understand what to do and all--so it really helped me out. As for the family we are teaching, they are soo sweet they really like us and they came to a ward FHE that we put together last night and it went really well. We have been planning this for some time now and it just soo happened that we had an exchange yesterday so it turned out that it was me and a greeny and it was sweet. We set up a big obstacle coarse in the gym and then we had three volunteers. Now each volunteers goal was to try and find the end goal which was a big ol candle on the other side of the room but there were a few catches. The first one was that they were blind folded and everyone else was trying to get them to go the wrong way. So the first person went and he couldn’t even find his way out of the first part, then for the second person we had one person that was softly trying to help them and they almost made it and then the 3rd person the person that was trying to help them would give them little taps and he made it to the candle and then of coarse all of the kids wanted to do it and then the kids got the dad of the family to do it and it was just alot of fun. Anyways after that we went and myself and elder Blanner(greeny on exchange) gave an awesome lesson explaining that this course represents the course of life, and it went soo good we had the whole map drawn out on the black board and everything represented something in the life that we have to go thru. It was all about the fact that we can’t do it by ourselves and that in order to get to our destination in the end we have to follow the promptings of the spirit. After this whole thing was done we had hot chocolate and cookies and everyone had fun especially our investigators. The awesome part about it all was that we were talking and as we did we were learning too soo the spirit was definitely the teacher.

I love ya ,
