Hello everyone!
I hope that you all had a great Christmas!! Have a fun New
Year’s Eve Tonight! We are on lockdown tonight just like we were on Halloween!
Christmas Eve was spent at the Pace’s and they had a talent
show. Sister Bushman and I bought dart/nerf guns and shot Elder Browning for
our talent…it went over well I think.
Christmas Day was so awesome. We went to the Wahlquist’s in
the morning! Santa came to our house AND to the Wahlquist’s! He must love
missionaries J
It was fun spending time with their family. Then I got to skype with you
guys!!! I loved that! It was so fun to see all of you and hear what is going
on. We played pool for a few hours afterwards and then we went sledding as a
Zone that night! SO MUCH FUN! We made a little jump and tried to see if we
could make it into the river. We were pretty close.
There is this awesome man named Teva who came into the
visitors’ center the other day. Sister Bushman and I and the zone leaders were
all there teaching him. He was asking so many questions! I just love him. The
spirit was so strong when we were teaching and he could recognize it. He said
that he wants us to keep teaching him. We set a baptism date with him and are
going to teach him 3 times a week. He had lunch with all four of us
missionaries today! He is so fun! He goes to the YSA branch here. Oh and he is
from Sri Lanka, is working on his second master’s degree (in computer
programming) and has a dream to work for Microsoft. He is amazing.
So we had a car for like two days…..Elder Bishop tore his
ACL and MCL last week so we are letting him use it. We should get one at the
end of this week or next week. It was fun while it lasted J We decked it out with
some glittery decorations and left them all in there for them….maybe they will
want to give it back sooner then.
So Sister Bushman and I were cursed with the flu this week.
It was AWFUL!! I don’t think either of us have ever been that sick. I was out
for about two days and she was out for a week. I get cabin fever just resting
so I did a lot of cleaning, studying and organizing to stay busy. Hopefully we
will get to go out and work hard this week!
Pacience got baptized this past weekend! I got to give a
talk on baptism for it and it went really well. She is so cute! Her Grandpa
came up to baptize and confirm her. The spirit was so strong. She wore all
white for the entire day. I love her!
We spoke in Sacrament meeting on Sunday. We talked about
member missionary work…one of our favorite topics J
There is a man here named Cort and his wife’s name is
Courtney. We call him the chicken man. He is an artist and paints chickens!
Their house is bright and colorful and just plain awesome. They are both
nonmembers, but Sister Williams in the 3rd ward is good friends with
them and took us there to see if we could all come back for a “tour” of the
artwork in their house. One of the paintings is of a woman holding a laundry
basket, then he has a clothes line coming out of the painting with undies
hanging from the clothes line with chickens all over them. It’s weird but cool
at the same time. I’ll see if he has a website so you can look them up.
Well that is all I can think of for now!! Stay safe, warm
and dry. I love all of you so so so much!
