Elder Anderson says all this snow is so awesome because it never happens. its been like 16 months since he saw snow last. i saw it like a week ago in the MTC. i wish it would have come when i was actually missing it haha
this last week was the week that we basically stayed inside and got a sum total of z e r o work done. it was great.
on Tuesday Elder Anderson caught the black plague and he basically died that day
on Wednesday we had district council and a meeting with the bishop to talk about progress and stuff. after that elder Anderson died again until we had a meeting with the Lindseys. they are this super awesome young family. they have two kids one in sixth grade and one that is like 4 or 5. he was like the biggest ball of energy I've ever seen. he was jumping all over us and he kicked his dad in the face during the prayer it was absolutely awesome.
on Thursday elder Anderson woke up a corpse again and i insisted we call the bishop. he gave him a blessing and elder anderson started feeling a little bit better so we decided to go to the food bank to do some service. we met Lynn there who was this really devout member of the Church of Christ and he very politely said that we were completely apostate and we were disgracing god. it was cool. after that elder anderson took a nap because he was still half corpse, then we went to have a lesson with the Hillmans!!!they are so awesome!!!! they are both RMs and they are an older couple and they have so many missionary stories. they let us teach them the first lesson and it went super great! after the lesson brother Hillman asked us to give him a blessing as he hadn't been feeling 100% for the past month so we said yea for sure and he was like can you do it pointing to me and i was like uh yea i guess so ok this is the first time i will have given a blessing i was so nervous but i basically just sent it and it went great.
on Friday we had weekly planning until we ate lunch and elder Anderson made 5 taquitos, now he made this decision knowing full well that he was dead the day prior and woke up feeling dead. he got 2 taquitos in and he just handed me the other three and went to lay down. it was not a good idea hahaha
we stayed in until we went contacting at 5 which occupied us for the rest of the night.
Saturday was maple falls day!!!!!!! we all love maple falls day. i don't remember if i told you about maple falls yet but its basically a super run down community about 30-40 miles out of town and we have a lot of members that live there. we cant afford the miles to go out there like every other day so we designate Saturday as maple falls day!! we got to meet katherine taylor who didn't have a third male in the house so we had to talk outside in the freezing wind and snow it was awful but it was really great at the same time. it was an emotional conversation. after that we just went contacting for the rest of the day!
on Sunday we went to church which is great as always and afterwards sister brown and brother brown invited us over for lunch! it was delicious. they made an egg casserole that made me want to die it was so good!!! after that we shared a message on being patient and we left. right outside their house was this frozen pond and me and elder Anderson slid around on that for a bit. i got pictures!! it was super awesome. after we got home to start planning for the day, it started snowing really bad so we were inside all day. i taught elder Anderson how to do a Rubik cube!!!
anywho tahts all i got for this week! kind of a long one i think but who cares only my mom reads these anyway!
Count your blessings!!!
