Momma,
You're the best! Thanks a ton for taking care of all of that
for me. Sister Campbell called me last night to tell me you were working
it all out and she wanted to know the specific brands of all of the
stuff that I need, which I'm assuming she passed along to you. So that
was good to hear, because I'm runnin' low on the insulin! But I'll
probably be good until Christmas. Thanks again though, I'm glad I don't
have to worry about that. I owe you one....eventually :) Yeah Elder
Crocco told me the same thing! He said he got a letter telling him that
he wouldn't be able to leave the country on his mission because of
Diabetes, but here we both are! Pretty cool, pretty cool.
This week was pretty lame hahaha. It was fun, but we didn't get
very much done. First off, our investigator didn't get permission from
her parents. It's a super long story, but that's for another day. We
haven't heard from her in a week so that sucks, but what're you gonna
do? Haha. Elder Merrell was sick, so we sat inside for Monday, and most
of Tuesday. Then Wednesday was DLC, so Elder Merrell went to meetings
and I went with another Elder from the YSA ward in our stake to Waffle
Wednesday at the Institute! It was sweet I hope and pray that some day I
get to serve in a YSA ward. I love waffles. And they're free! Thursday
and Friday he was still sick, and then Friday was Weekly Planning so we
were inside most of the day for that! Haha then yesterday was good, but
we did a lot of scripture reading this week! It was good though, we got
to decorate our apartment Christmas style! It looks awesome, we hung
lights everywhere, around our desk, along the walls, etc. Then we set up
our little fake tree! I think you know how I feel about fake trees, but
in the absence of the real variety I'll take what I can get. We even
have ornaments! It almost feels like Christmas :)
Thanksgiving was pretty good. We ate at two places, and ate a
lot. We went over to a single sister's place for dinner with her and her
kids, and then went to dessert at another family's place. They made
pumpkin cobbler it was the bomb! I love Thanksgiving.
I also got my pants unhemmed! They've always been a little
short, and it kind of bothered me when I got them, but it's been driving
me up the wall lately! So I had the Relief Society in our ward unhem
them all! She's a hilarious lady. So now my pants fit! It's a beautiful
feeling.
The weather went backwards this week too! It was a weird week
haha. Last week it was sitting at a nice -20 C, and now it's just about
freezing all of the time. As weird as it sounds, it's so warm! I
honestly could have walked around without a jacket. They were right when
they said you get climatized! It's awesome haha. It's supposed to be
about 7 C all week so that'll be sweet! The warm days are numbered so
you have to take advantage of them while you can!
This week should be good. We have the Nativity thing going on
downtown, which is like the one they do in Vancouver back home...? I
think it's in Vancouver. The one I sang at. So that'll be fun. Then we
have the Ward Christmas Party, and then the Christmas Devotional on
Sunday! Super stoked, it'll be a good week fasho!
That's pretty much all I'ev got for this week. I don't care
what you send for Christmas, I'll take anything! The speaker and the CD
player along with whatever music you're feeling! Surprise me haha. I
feel like I need something, but I can't remember what it is......so I'll
email you this week if I think of anything.
You guys are the best! Thanks for all of the support, I hear
about Elders that come out without their family's support and it makes
me grateful I have people back home like you guys! I love and miss you
guys, do work!

Ps - We live in 2 man apartments. They got rid of the 4 mans
because nothing gets done with that much testosterone in one home.
Hahaha
