Temple trips and hospital visits

Hey all,  So to answer the weather question, we go out to work unless it's -40 or below. Sometimes if it's too stormy, like there are really bad whiteout conditions, where it's not safe to be outside, we also will stay in, but the cold alone doesn't stop us, haha. This year has actually been quite warm in comparison to last year. Or maybe I'm just more used to it, idk. Either way I know you'd freeze, mom, so at some point it would probably all just seem like the same temperature to you.  Thats way cool that dad's learning Hebrew. That's something I want to do too. Dad, you need to see if you can learn Hebrew as fast as Joseph Smith did—it took him 14 weeks. And way to go Boo! That's cool that you did so well in the tourney! And that's so exciting that you started your mission papers, it's weird for me to think of you already leaving and getting a senior ad. Time flies. Killing Elder Willoughby has been interesting. I've notice...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey all, I really like the Christmas card photo! It's really really good. I showed it to one of the missionaries here and they said, "THAT is YOUR family?" She clearly couldn't believe that I came from such a good looking group. Dad, you're looking a little older though with that beard! I'm surprised mom let you keep it for the pictures.  SUPER excited that the Utes won! It sounds like our second string is doing really good! Wish I could watch them play. Keep me updated about how they do. I definitely don't want to see them lose to the Y, it would be insufferable to hear from all the other missionaries.  That's also pretty cool that you're going to meet Bro Williams! And yes, Elder Boardman is going home this week. Honestly he's been my best companion. He's changed me so much. Let me know how his homecoming talk goes if you go. And yeah, its a pretty sick video. They had a blast putting it together, and there were a lot of peopl...

Crazyness

Wow, hello everybody! This last week's been absolutely crazy. First off, I'm getting transferred to Bathurst, I'll be serving with Elder Boardman, he's from Holladay too, we're super excited! I was also called to be the French district leader, so I'll be working on training for the French missionaries too. Really looking forward to it! Second off, the French temple trip. Holy cow, best part of my life. Long story though. To start, Elder Greenburg and I had to drive separately from the other missionaries. They were taking two members, Anik and Renaud, to Mirimichi, where they met more members there to take the members the rest of the way. They picked up Elder Boardman there as well, and came the rest of the way down. On the other hand, Elder Greenburg and I went to Fredericton, picked up Sister King and her harp, and drove with her all the way to Halifax. When we got to Truro, we got this HUGE storm. It was absolutely crazy, people were sliding off t...
