Hey well if it isn't your favorite
Christmas present. I'm thankful for
the opportunity to be an entire day
ahead of most of you so I can
grace your inboxes with my email just in
time for this special day.
You wanna know what we did this week?
Well it was pretty much the same
as last week. It is STILL raining. Like
we're almost done with
December and it's still going. The
nagaoka snow legend is full of
bologna I've decided. We did have some
luck with meeting a few
investigators, and talking to some
interesting people.
We had the opportunity to meet one of
our potential investigators at
an illumination festival. He's from
India and invited us with his
friends. We ended up crashing a birthday
party of like 20 Indians (2
were Nepalese secretly) and they all
apparently don't like us do to
some stuff with their religion and
Mormonism a few years back. That
was way awkward but now I know like 20
Indians. Our potential
investigator was really cool though.
This week while on splits with Elder
Broberg our district leader, it
was 60 degrees outside. We went and did
a little housing. We ended
bumping into this old couple towards the
end of our time (as it
usually happens) and they invited us in.
The husband opened the door
and and was like "woah the Mormon
missionaries" and told his wife to
start cooking food. We sat in their
house for a bit and talked
religion. The husband was like
"yeah I've pretty much decided there's
nothing after this" but the wife
seemed to have interest. They
wouldn't accept our Book of Mormon but
they did invite us back
"whenever we want."
We also had Christmas this week. The
members got us presents. Pretty
much food and candy which I'm thankful
for. Then Elder McIlrath and I
had a nerf gun war before bed (thanks
mom). You'd think for an army
national guardsman he would have been
better. That's pretty much our
week. Oh I also Skyped my family. Only
have one more of those left.
It's supposed to snow a ton this week.
We'll see though. Hope
everybody has a good week!
