Time
seriously flies. I can't believe it's almost been 3 months. That's 1/8
of my mission done! Crazy. Thanks for the update on the insulin and
stuff. Man I hope it doesn't freeze! Haha that would be bad. But I'm
sure it'll be fine. Hey speaking of the Mastercard, I think I told you
that my debit card doesn't work here. I've been rejected every time I've
used it so far. So I'll just stick to the Mastercard. Just so you know,
I'm buying boots and stuff today, but it shouldn't be too bad. Okay the
"d" key on this keyboard sticks so bad so I'm not typing anymore d's
haha I'll be here all day if i do. So I'll use <'s instead. This week
was super good. We had the First Presidency Christmas devotional last
night, it was great. President Monson's talk was awesome. I wish I would
have gone to those things more often! The ward Christmas Party was
Friday night, and it was way good. It was The Polar Express theme, and
it was really well done. Canadians know how to celebrate! There were a
ton of less-active members there and we had a couple of investigators so
it was definitely a success. Wednesday night they had a mutual activity
where they basically played fugitive. Normally we wouldn't be allowed
to gto to something like that, but our investigator volunteered and
asked us to go with him. So we did :) It was really fun. It was in a
park a lot like Rosa Park, except about 4 times as big, and it's a
ravine. So the youth had to get from one end to the other without
getting caught, and the leaders and us had to catch them. It was a
sweet. I forgot gloves though so my hands died haha. Funny story!
Actually not so funny, but you'll probably laugh. So we went on
exchanges from Tuesday to Wednesday afternoon. I was in another area,
and wednesday morning was district meeting. Now usually, we're all 10
minutes early for the meeting. No one has ever been late before. But of
course, we're running a little late that morning, and guess who was
there when we walked in 10 minutes late? President Campbel himself! Haha
it was terrible. He gently urged us to be on time haha. What're the
chances! Other than that this week went pretty well. The weather has
been great the past two weeks. The snow all melted and it was super
nice! It's supposed to become winter weather this week though, so we're
not excited. It snowed a ton two nights ago, and it probably won't melt.
So it begins! Today is Pday feast again! Elder Guerin is going home in a
couple of weeks so he's making spaghetti and all that good stuff for
the zone at the church. President will actually be there too! I'll try
to be on time haha. Hey I heard the NBA lockout ended! Nooooo. I was
honestly hoping it would last all year, so I only would miss one
season......oh well! But yeah that's my week! Not much else happened
besides the usual. For Christmas, we have church at 9 (8 your time), and
then we're going over to a member's house for breakfast, and then we
can skype from there! Does that work? I'm not sure what time will work
for me, I'll let you know when I find out. Hahahaha hey tell Sister
Little she's the best and thanks for all she does! Yeah I'll probably
email Doctor Olinghouse my info. I'm hoping to go to the doctor this
month, so I'll let her know how it goes. Tell her thanks! Alright that's
all I have for today. I miss you guys! Enjoy the holiday season it's
the bomb!
Love you guys,
Elder Read
PS
I have some pictures from the Christmas Party! The black guy is our
Elder's Quorum President. He's a jamaican guy he's hilarious. And he's a
SUPER conservative guy so his outfit is awesome. The other picture is
me with Brother Burgess(on the left) he's in the bishopric, Brother
Bowden our ward mission leader, and then Brother Depeiza again. They're
awesome. Our ward is awesome! Note my long hair, that mop is getting cut
today fasho. And then me in the Polar Express!
