What is
crack a lackin everyone!!???
Everything up here just keeps on
getting better and better! Yesterday it snowed here and we are expecting more
and I cannot wait for it! The members here are fantastic it is like I am
already part of this big family and it is amazing. Yesterday I had to give a
talk about preparation in the priesthood and I did my usual thing, ya know get
up there tell some jokes and some stories but when I actually gave the talk I
could definitely feel the spirit. Everyone's eyes were just right on me and
they listened to everything I had to say. It was so amazing I can't wait to
give another talk!
On a funnier note the guy after me got
up to give his talk and after he introduced himself a little bit he reached
into his pocket to grab his talk but it wasn't there. So he frantically started
looking around for his talk and then said, “I think I left it in my coat, I am
going to go grab it." AND HE DID!!! He left the chapel to go grab his talk
so we all just sat there awkwardly waiting for him to get back. I have never
seen something like that before it was so funny. But when he got back he gave
an amazing talk about prayer so I am glad that he went and got it.
On Saturday the town had a huge
Christmas parade and I was in it! The ward built a nativity scene on a trailer
and my companion and I were asked to be the shepherds. So we grabbed some bed
sheets and hopped on that float and I will tell you what, I have never waved so
much in my entire life. It was an hour of just waving and yelling Merry
Christmas to everyone that was watching. It was super fun though and since I
was the shepherd I was in charge of the sheep. WE HAD A LIVE SHEEP ON THAT
TRAILER WITH US! It was kinda wild.
On Friday we were at Bro Dunning's
place making sandwiches and other stuff for the social the church has after the
parade. Let me tell you something, Roger is the funniest guy I have ever met.
He was in the marines for a while and then became a truck driver so he has all
of these hilarious stories to tell. One of my favorite things he does is when
someone is lying to him or something he sticks his arm straight up in the air
and says, “Buddy you are so deep in crap right now you might as well try to
save your watch." He is so funny and I can't wait to be able to talk to
him more.
Also, do you remember Jim Baker from
last weeks email? Well we have been meeting with him and we gave him a Book of
Mormon and a Restoration pamphlet and when we came back the next time he said
he believes the Book of Mormon is true and everything he read in the pamphlet
he believes to be true. I was just so shocked because we didn't even do
anything! It is so amazing to see how much progress he is making, it honestly
warms my heart.
Other than that everything is pretty
much the same just wake up and start spreading the good word until I go to
sleep. I also can't believe a month has already gone by it is so crazy!
But yeah, I wanna hear from all of my
favorite people and let me know how thanksgiving goes because Canada celebrates
theirs in October so it will pretty much be another normal day for me.
I love you guys, I'll write again next week, hallah at your boi, YEEEEEEAAAAHHH!!!
