YOU MADE JALAPEÑO POPPERS?

Hey all,

WHAT? I had begged for those for years, and the first time you make them in all this time is while I'm on my mission? Wow. That hurts. Almost as much as it would hurt to make them without the gear. At least you have it figured out for when I get home, cause I EXPECT some now... 

Also, 1st place!!! That's super awesome! Man, I bet that was an incredible game! I wish I could watch it! I think it's so cool that we took 1st, I think that's the first 1st place finish for the varsity team. At least that I remember. It's going to be cool to see how they do this year in regular season! And I'm glad to see that the meme is staying alive, haha. 

I'm glad everyone misses me, haha. I miss them too, and no, you hadn't told me about the video thing, so that's going to be pretty exciting! I'm looking forward to that. 

I had a pretty good week. I'll try to go over all of it! Wednesday we had district meeting. Elder Pitcher and I went to the Saint John district meeting instead of ours, because we wanted to see how Elder Bluth, one of our district leaders, was doing with his district. It was really good, he's a really good district leader. There was a crazy snow storm that day though, and driving sucked! We got back, and then immediately had to leave for some lessons we had with the members. (Elder Pitcher and I have been teaching a lot of the members, it's been really cool!) It was going to be a pretty standard day, but then we got a call from Woodstock Elders at like 8. It turns out that they went down to the hospital down in Saint John after district meeting, and they weren't going to be able to make it back to Woodstock before 9. So they had to crash at our place for the night. Normally, that would just have them staying the night and then take off in the morning, but Elder Bringhurst and Robinson both wear contacts, and didn't bring contacts to replace the ones they were wearing. So, we ended up having to drive them back to Woodstock early in the morning! 

That was kinda the only eventful thing that happened. Wendy is doing good. We had a really good lesson with her this week. We're hopefully going to see Jacob this Saturday, because he really wants to do a nerf war! Unfortunately they didn't come to church, but we're still making progress! 

We did find a new investigator this week. Her names Carla. She was an old potential that we had, and when we followed up with her the other day, she let us come back. We taught her about Jesus Christ and His Gospel, and invited her to be baptized. She said yes, but we suspect that she doesn't fully understand everything. So stay tuned. 

Idk what I'd want for Christmas. I mean, the best parts of Christmas were always the food and the family, but I guess ties, clothes, and candy would do. But I'm sure you'll think of creative stuff to put in there. I'd love to hear from everyone again, that was really cool! 

We went down to Saint John again today. There's this thing called the Reversing Falls, it was pretty cool. The Bay of Fundy runs up the Saint John River and reverses the flow of the water, which is pretty cool. There's a sky roof with a glass floor which was pretty cool. You can't really see it in the photos unfortunately. 

I really like the newsletter! 

Love you all!

Got my travel plans!

Bonjour tout le monde!        This has been a crazy week! We've been super busy with lessons, we have had two or three lessons a day, and lots of really good devotionals.  On Sunday , we had Chad Lewis come and talk, and that was really cool. He talked about his mission, his career, his chance to do this hike up Kilimanjaro with a bunch of wounded soldiers from Iraq, kinda all over the place. It was more like a slide show than the kind of devotionals before. It was still good, but I definitely preferred Elder Oaks. We watched A Consecrated Missionary, by Tad Callister, for our film after, it was really good. I really love the  Sunday  films, gunna miss that in the field.         I also finally meet some other people going to Halifax! There are 4 sisters, and one other Elder, I'll be flying out with them on the 26th. I'm pretty sure I get to call you guys before I leave the airport on my flight, but I think they talk about t...

Yes, everyone's been freaking out!

Hey all, This week has probably been the craziest ever. The announcement came as I was down in a lesson in Halifax (long story, I'll get to it later) and so my phone just started vibrating like crazy during the lesson, and I was super confused. I checked it and saw a ton of missed calls, so I thought something bad just happened, and we finished the lesson quickly, and started calling people back. The other Zone Leaders answered and were just like, "Have you guys checked your email?" and we were really confused, but they told us to go check. Then I read the email they sent all of us, and I was just mind-blown. The elder I was with just pulled over, cause we were driving at this point, and we just sat there talking to them. It was crazy.  Anyway, I'll back up because it's been a pretty crazy week. P-day was a huge storm, and we were stuck in the house that night. Elder Willoughby finished packing. We also found out that because of the storm, the normal t...

This week's update

Hey everybody. I guess you didn't understand what I meant by "you have no excuse." There's a lot of times when we email in the morning. My phone doesn't have internet. I only get to see the emails I got from  Monday . IF YOU WRITE  ON TUESDAY , I MIGHT NOT SEE IT! Hopefully I will have time to read emails later. At least I'll have stuff next week. Now that I finished my little rant, this last week's been pretty good. We finished teaching Nik, Rachelle and Tommy all of the principles, and are just setting up their interviews. Tommy still is working on stopping smoking, but he's doing awesome. He came to a game night we set up, and to church this week, and loved both. The hit at the games night was this table hockey game, it's lots of fun! The travelling trainers came for our district meeting this week. Basically it's two missionaries who spend an entire transfer training the mission. It was lots of fun, Elder Ipson and Olmsted are bo...
