Freezing cold and it's October... I'm going to die!

Well ya that's basically what has been going on.. That box that you sent with all the candy and basketball shoes and socks and gloves has saved my life. Today we are going to play some ball with the high school kids after they are out of school and that will be amazing fun except that there is no 3 point line so ya just have to attack the rim like THE BLACK MAMBA IN OKC HAHA.

 

Umm no but really it has been a good week and there were a couple of days that were freezing cold, then it was back to normal. I'm so glad that I had those gloves and coat cuz I woulda died. We still don't have anyone that is considered a progessing investigator because we find someone and teach them and aren't really able to get a next appointment or they aren't home when we show up next time. 

 

  It's frustrating at times, but it's also really cool when you meet someone on the way that is interested and then teach them a lesson on the spot. There is a mexican family listed above and we will meet with them this next week hopefully and be able to have a more formal lesson and get them to be a progressing investigator. I think that they have so much potential and I relate so much to them because of the family back in cali and stuff, but I feel stupid when I can't speak spanish and I know that the wives don't speak as good as the men. 

 

  I think that something bad is happening and it's the young women out here.... they like me ha I know it sucks I can see it in their little eyes when we go to church or to a family's house for dinner and I feel kinda weird cuz they know that I'm fresh out of high school and they are seniors and juniors so they have an eye for the prize haha.

 

 When I went to the temple it was with only 4 of us and with Bishop Clay and his wife in the mini van. Yea it was one of the coolest things I've ever done and no I hate to vacuum but when it's the spiral staircase it's amazing especially when there's like nothing to vacuum so ha.

 

I'll be sending home my picture chip and that will have some cool pics and a movie at the end that you must see. 

 

 well all is well in the good ole Bloomington Illinois and good things are about to happen. 

 

I love all of you and will try to write more on paper today.... and I love Zoe     ya!!
