Kære Familie,
Another week gone!!! Its been a wierd one again because we have had more trainings and so our week got thrown off a little bit and then the Zone Leaders came on splits on Thursday and Friday so that was also off normal stuff.....I don't think that I will have a normal mission experience until January, seeing as this week is Christmas (we've been asked not to tract 23-26) and next week we are in Copenhagen for three days. Wooo. So yeah I was the newest missionary at the Specialized Training this week. Needless to say, I got picked on a lot. Good thing I knew all the answers basically. I'm already looking forward to February when the new missionaries come and I won't be the newbie anymore.
Yesterday we had a guest Christmas service in church. The goal was to get all the members to invite nonmember friends. We've also been handing out invitations around town like they were candy. Anyway the grand total from all of our work..........7. Only one of them was one of our 8 investigators we've got going and he is awesome!!!! He comes from New Jersey so every time he talks its like angels are singing to me. His daughter was baptized in the summer and she is way solid too. Ex. She called Mauler yesterday and asked if it was ok to help her friend move on the Sabbath. So the guest service was a little bit of a dud, but we actually got more to come than alot of the stake. One other lady that came is technically not an investigator but a former one. She is also waaaay cool. She was taught by the missionaries about 4 yrs ago but never really was interested, but she loves the missionaries and so she feeds us every week. Her food is like the best that we have all week!!! But anyway she didn't think that she was going to make it, because her son was coming in later and her car got totalled last week so we weren't that optimistic. Lo and behold here she comes trekking through the snow right before Sacrament meeting. She had walked the 3 or 4 some odd kilometers to get to the church. Yeah hun er sej!!!!!!
It is still way cold!!!! Its been snowing the past couple days and look here it goes again. Another thing that wears on the mind is the sun. Up at around nine (unless its snowing then it doesn't come up at all) and down at a little before 4! It sucks super!!! We are going around for like four hours in the dark everyday! The good news is that the shortest day is tomorrow and then it will start getting lighter again. That'll feel like its taking a while though. So yeah, just a fun little info thing I decided to share all the things we've been doing in our apartment.
1. The tub was plugged when we got here, used like 8 bottles of drain cleaner and a plunger to clean it.
2. We tried to bake cookies for members on Christmas. We didn't have a scale so we got like a box of tin foil and did a balancing scale using an object with the correct weight on one side and measuring our ingredients on the other.............we bought a scale the next day.
3. I couldn't find tape so I put something on the wall with sticky side of sticky notes.
4. We got sick of just waking up to the alarm clock so I, me, myself am the music alarm clock. When the alarm goes off in the morning I turn on my MP3 and iHome to get things rolling.......
5. No dryers, clothes went on the heaters in our apartments.
Anyway, looking forward to talking to you this week. Love you tons!!!!
