I saw pictures of you on the Mission fb page. Its always nice to see you. It looks like the Relief Society up there took good care of you guys. Its nice that there are some mamas looking out for my guy.
Yeah it was really good food, any time we get together they really take care of us. This week we are going to have Zone training meeting, this last week we had a games night and we invited Elaine and a younger less active member who lives in swift.. kind of an odd group, three twenty year old guys and one seventy-nine year old lady.. just playing the game of life. We've been doing quite a bit of service, been going to an old folks home, working at a thrift store, a soup kitchen.. ETC. just trying to improve people's opinion of missionaries. The work is still pretty slow as far as investigators, but we are keeping pretty busy. we've had pretty good luck getting Less Actives and sometimes our Investigators to church, we have a few appointments with Potential Investigators lined up that could pan out well for the work. Yesterday we got fed two massive meals by two member families about two hours apart, so that was good, I was afraid my stomach would burst.
there is a skate shop that I was at today and they said in a few weeks they'll have some Vans like the ones I used to have. they'll probably be expensive though, we are supposed to meet with him and his wife in a few weeks. maybe he'll give me some sort of deal. ;)
Did the snow stick? (We got some snow on the Butte and finally turned on the furnace)
we had a little bit of snow this morning, but not too much. we've had the furnace on for a while, since Elder Allred and I tried to last as long as we could, and it was like 55 degrees in our house.
How big is your area?
South-west Saskatchewan. it's huge.
Do you ever travel on P-days?
Travel? we don't have enough K's to go anywhere.. we get about 1200 k's to use... and they run out quick unless we are being careful.
Does your companion like to exercise?
He's athletic, but he doesn't like to work out in the morning.
Do you ever do splits with the other missionaries? Or members?
yeah we have done splits with other missionaries, but we haven't yet gone on splits with members. we've had a couple member present lessons though
What are some of the funner service projects you've done
Probably when we went to Brother and Sister B.
What are some of the less fun services you've done?
Sometimes we sort Christmas stuff at the thrift store, and I hate doing that.
I like doing service, It's nice to be able to work sometimes, mission life is a little bit hard but it's not usually physically exerting.
What are your companions interests? On or off a mission?
My companion is about 5'4" and he played baseball in Highschool, we don't bond super well, but he's really easy to get along with.
Did you get to make some yummy food? (I think I'll do a Personal Progress Project on making a book of recipes for my kids for my YW in Excellence project, you are my inspiration, actually Kate's been asking for that for a while)
I haven't been trying to buy anything for them yet, I've been thinking maybe I'll make crepes, those are pretty cheap and easy.
How's Elaine?
Elaine has been sick and hasn't been able to come to church too much the past few weeks, we did get her to the game night and she had fun there. she hasn't made too much progress on smoking, we're trying to get her more involved with the members but we've not had too much luck so far, should be better in the future.
Best Moment?
hmmm.. this week was pretty tame, but it was good, I enjoyed when I saw one of our Less Actives at church.
