hey all! last week was awesome, im glad everyone had a good thanksgiving, sister dargan, fed the district and she made loads of amazing food so that was way cool, then another family in the ward fed us some leftovers for dinner so taht was awesome too! i hope everyone is doing so way good! i really love the work.. its stressful quite often, but i love it! woohoo! saturday went awesome! all 3 baptisms took place and it was a blessing and awesome experiences as always.. its so true that "there are no homesick missionaries when they are standing in the baptismal font"! I got to baptize both Sister Smith, and Sister Isaac, Elder Jones baptized Brother Smith, and I got to confirm Brother Smith! The gospel really is so awesome! The weather here is up and down a lot.. so cold some days, and randomly almost hot other days, but mostly just cold and its been that way more than half of the month of november probably.. Elder Jones and I really like working together, we are different but get along well and have a good time too, we are hoping to get 10 baptisms this next month, that is our goal! The work here is awesome, but it really does require sacrifice and we do try to be always busy! I wish i had a way cool story to share.. hmm.. last night we did knock this one house and began to teach this guy who said he was interested, but for some reason at one point in the first lesson he said, something like "hold on, i'll be right back" and went into his house.. so we were like ok. and then maybe 5 minutes or so passed and he never came back out.. it was confusing so we left.. anything exciting?.. hmm, also last night Elder Jones was riding without his bike light on, and totally rode into a huge puddle, it was pretty funny. today it is cold and windy! I dont know anything about the christmas call yet but of course i will let you know! how is asher? he looked cool in the pictures.. like hes a baby or something. we have interviews this wednesday which is cool, its always awesome to see and hear from president mcconkie.. we have met some cool people in the last week or so, that we are really hoping to get setup on a baptismal calander.. Brother Newkirk (my first baptism) is still way cool! He is just an amazing guy who let the gospel work in his life! After he was baptized, he didnt have a job and stuff and really needed one to support his family, so we invited him to fast one sunday, and we fasted with him and then the next week he got a job! so that was pretty awesome.. ummm i dont know what much else to say... oh christmas.. no candy please! i have SOOO much and i am getting "chubby" and im sure my teeth are getting ready to fall out! Not that im not grateful for the candy.. cause we all know i cant live without insane amounts of sugar, i just think my stomach and my teeth could use a break! oh and thanks everyone again for the music.. and really you dont need to send me anything for christmas but of course anything is welcome! the south is cool.. one pretty funny thing here is that people have a tough time saying words with "str-" in them.. so here's pretty much everything ive heard with that.. scraight(straight), screet(street), screppe(streppe throut, scrength(strength) and exapmles like.. scrawberries or something but pretty much anything with an "str" at the beginning turns into a word with an "scr".. but nothing really new or cool unfortunatley.. the coolest thing was those 3 baptisms! ANYWHOO! I love and miss everyone or at least some of you.. kidding. hope everyone is doing well and i have one question, does the startrek movie still look cool? you guys may have to wait for me to get home before seeing that one! love ya! thanks for your emails and pictures of the fam and everything!
