How is your
weather??
today it's a
little cloudy. almost sweater weather but not quite. things are wet but it
stopped raining this morning. It was also windy this morning but not anymore
How was your
Monday?
it was fun.
Sandy was weak. I guess we were only on the edge of it, i think Jared in NY may
have had more of a real storm. It was windy and rainy enough for most of Monday
that I'm glad we weren't out driving and stuff, but it was not a dangerous storm
for people who stayed inside (which was basically everyone because schools and
everything was shut down). Beforehand everyone was guessing how long we'd be out
of power for (most expected about 1 and a half days) but we never really lost
power. There was a 2 hour period where our electricity kept awkwardly flickering
on and off though. Elder Wilding still was able to fry a frozen fish while that
was happening though. On saturday we bought a bunch of food, especially canned
chicken and tuna, and we didn't eat any of it. We easily just ate stuff we
already had in the fridge.
We played a lot
of risk which was fun, even though each game takes for everrr.
Overall it was a
fun day and completely different from every other day as a
missionary.
The storm was so
weak even the Simpsons turned out ok.
IF you haven’t written...how
was Halloween??
it will be
fun because we're going to play Risk again. We have to be in the apartment by
6:00 (or at a members house), so we'll all just come home and play 1 final game.
It's perfect because after that we'll all be so sick of the game we don't want
to play anymore (and we'll never have time to do it again either).
Where did you do your short
and very unexpected e-mail on Saturday??
The family history center like usual
Mom, can you send me something with everyone's birthday and age? I can
never remember.
I talked to another person about being Kylie's pen pal. She also said she
would, but that was a few days ago, so unfortunately I would say don't get your
hopes up too high.
This week has been pretty good and exciting. Elder Concha and Wilding had 2
baptisms last sunday, this Brazilian Lady who's name I have a hard time
pronouncing, something like Erenie, and an 18 yr old guy named Justin.
I don't know Erenie very well, she only speaks portugues and they found her
(member referral) like 4 weeks ago. I know Justin really well though.
Maria is one of our investigators, she is the Foster mom to Justin (18),
Chris (one of our investigators, 18), and Ivone (another of our investigators,
she's 14). Elder Woodruff and I originally taught all of them (they all mostly
got separate lessons though) but after a while it was decided to switch Justin
over to the other Elders, mostly so it would be easier to separate Justin and
Chris's lessons, because they are much less mature when together. It was
especially cool to see Justin get all the way to baptism. Hopefully they can get
him to the temple soon for baptisms.
Chris is the guy who we had helped stop smoking a while back. It took him a
while to really be serious and sincere with us on a consistent basis, but for
the past week or so he's been great. He has a baptismal date set for nov 16th
(his birthday) and if things go smoothly he should be ready by then. A lot of
times he reminds me a lot of someone I grew up with in Arcadia Ward.
And we have to go teach him in just a few mins.
Love you all, I'll email again this Monday
oh, also check this out
remind me and I'll write about it next week.
