Neat Story:
Hey!
So before I forget, my e-mail next week will be on Wednesday and not Monday. P-Day is on Wednesday once a transfer in Anchorage so we can go to the temple and since the temple is closed on Mondays, the make it Wednesday and make that the P-day for the week.
But last week was probably my best week as a missionary so far, at least numbers wise. We had 10 new investigators and 6 people at church. No the mission average is 1.7 new investigators and .8 at church each week. We did so well. Worked hard and it really showed. Another pretty cool thing we did was committed someone to get married. His name is Saul. Saul has a girlfriend he has been with for 7 years and they have had 3 adorable little girls together. Saul has done a complete 180 from the person he used to be and it has been so cool to watch. He will be getting baptized January 24 and will be getting married January 17 so he is no longer living in sin… it is pretty cool. He can’t deny anything. He is doing so well. He will be a bishop one day.
But man… life in the new area is pretty good. The ward has some way cool members and since it is the ghetto there is plenty of work. I get plenty of updates on football. I can’t believe Utah beat Alabama. And at dinner the other night, we ate with Brother and Sister Hamberger. Now these 2 have served 4 senior missions so they are pretty old. Bro Hamberger is like 75 and still we came over for dinner he could not pull himself away from BYU vs Wake Forest basketball. So to be honest I did see a little bit of BYUs 53 game home win streak come to an end LOL. But I can’t think of much else really going on. The new roll out keyboard is awesome. All the stuff I got for Christmas I put to very good use. Especially the sweaters I have gotten. If you kept up on the weather here last week at all, you would have seen the the WARMEST it got was -2 and the coldest we saw was -28. And February is supposed to be the coldest month and it is still like 30 days away. I’m pretty nervous for that one…
