To My Family!
Not much has been happening lately. It's still been hard to teach people. But at least it's P-Day today!
This last week we did a lot of tracting, the majority of the people were nice but "not interested" and one old guy gave us some Pepsi which was sweet.
We were able to see one of our investigators. He has a 200 gallon fish tank with 2 13 inch alligators and 4 snapping turtles. We got to feed them like 10 live mice! We put them in and the little alligators started owning them, the mice would get up on the rocks and the alligators would eat them, then the mice would jump in the water and the snapping turtles would get them. It was sweet! Felt like I was on the Discovery Channel!
Last night around 11:30 pm I woke up and Elder Sorensen is sitting up in his bed. He gets up, head and shoulders slouched down and walks out to the kitchen and walks around. After 30 seconds he comes back into the room. I'm like "Sorensen what the crap are you doing?!"
He said, "I'm looking for the bike tube, you know for the think!" I'm like what? He said it again, "the bike tube, ya know for the thing!!!!" I asked him, "are you awake?" Then he just mumbled and went back to sleep, that's when I realized he was sleep walking.
On Halloween we didn't have to do all that much. At night all the High School had a parade downtown and a bunch of decorated cars and motorcycles. It was pretty sweet. I have so much candy, Grandma Anne sent me like 4 bags and the Ruiz family sent me a huge box full of stuff, and Double Stuff Oreos! So I'll be good on junk food for a while.
Thanks for the pictures of Adam and thanks for drawing me pictures Adam. I get to brag of how cool my little brother is.
For Christmas all I can really think of is just a few more short sleeve shirts, I have three but it's going to get hot later on. Size 16 1/2, and maybe a few ties I guess, other than that a photo album would be nice, with just some pictures of you guys and life back home.
Can't wait to hear back from you!

PS - It started snowing! ...but now it stopped
Sounds like it's been a quiet week compared to the rest. I'm sure the sleep walking companion made for some interesting talk over breakfast the next morning! Thank you to all those sending care packages and other things to Devin L.!
