Hey Mom,

Texas, I haven't heard about that? All has been well this week. we got our first snow fall the other day, but it didn't last too long it warmed back up quite a lot. It really boggled my mind it has been at a steady 55-60 so it has been quite nice. This week has been super rushed but it has been really really good. We had a zone conference this week and it was amazing. it is my first one that i have attended as a leader and it was really awesome. It amazed me that how i was looking at the training for my investigators to how i can apply that to my district. it was really pretty cool and really spiritually. it just boggled my mind. So this week as well i went on enxhange with elder Brooke in green castle (a not so neighboring town), it was awesome we has some sweet lessons out there it was really cool. we taught this guy Chad. he is just like my he is a welder by trade and is a big time hunter and fisher and is super duper redneck. it is really cool i have been able to teach him a couple time now and every time it is so spiritual. he is an amazing man. i ended up giving him an extra set of scriptures that i had, that i had camoed all up, he really appreciated it. and i felt right doing it so no big deal. But while i was in green castle i forgot my deodorant and there was some what looked like deodorant and i asked if it belonged to anybody and no one claimed up so i used it. well come to find out it was a high power stain remover and it was full of bleach and it tore my arm pits up! it was the same day that we had zone conference so i couldn't just go and was out my arm pits. Later that night i called sister Collin's and she just laughed, she said that, my incident is one of the funniest stories that she has ever heard. well i didn't think that it was that funny. i ended up having to call the mission Dr. and to talk to him as well. all he did was laugh as well. but all is better and i have a super funny story because of it. Any ways the holidays are going great so far, we are going to break out the Christmas supplies and use them in our finding efforts. this coming week we have alot that is planned out and ready to rock! i am super excited. So far we have 3 dinner appointments on thanksgiving and probably more and we are going to be playing in a turkey bowl with the elders quorum. I believe Christmas is also filled up. but the bad thing is that i might be transferred before Christmas. oh well. Lindsey is still doing great i love that family they are amazing. Her dad is such a nice guy he owns an appliance store and brought over a washer and dryer for free and just gave them to us and then ended up taking us out to breakfast. They are doing great and are still progressing like a rapid fire in my opinion. they are just super solid and are willing to do what ever it takes. the sad thing is the mom sometimes sits in the lessons and will listen but will sit and text some one the whole time. I HATE PHONES as a missionary! but she is still a very nice lady. I hope that everything is going well, or at least better i will keep you all in my prayers. i love you all! Have a Great Week!
