January 04, 2010

Dear Family,

So the baptism was canceled due to bad weather, but its going to be going on this weekend, so that will be good. New years eve was pretty boring here..... obviously nothing happens as a missionary :P Transfers is next week, I'm probably staying here and I don't know who's coming but hopefully someone good, lol. The temp outside got down to about 2 with wind-chill the other day it was cold!

So a few weeks ago we were tracting and we run into this house with quite a few catholic statues and all that, nothing different for a missionary. knock on the door and this guy comes out all huffin and puffin. "Oh man why did you guys knock on my door?!" "Don't you see all these statues!?" I'm like yeah so what's that mean to me? "Well I'll bash with you, I'm a supacatholic!" I tried really hard not to laugh in his face, "Who's the founder of your church?" I'm like "Jesus Christ". "No no the founder!" "JESUS CHRIST!" Then he just kept trying to ask other stupid questions that just backfired to make himself look like a fool in front of his wife.... I'm like "Sir Joseph Smith was an instrument in the hands of the almighty god to restore his true power and authority to the earth, Now when we came to your door we came to bring your spirits up with this wonderful message and your intensions were to bring us down, YOUR BRINGING DOWN JESUS CHRIST!"

He pretty much looked like a dog that just got yelled at and put his tail between his legs and went back inside slowly closing the door.

Love yunz ; P

It's a brand new year and he's already got another baptism.  This past week it was a very cold week back in Ohio, not much snow, just lots of cold!
