well long story average length. this week was pretty darn good. thanksgiving was really good. we ate some deer with the gulleys and then some turkey and ham up in new castle with the woods and the nunnerys. it was a blast. i cannot believe how fast time flys. im really feeling it lately, sister parker (in the mission office) said she was going to call me in 2 weeks or so to arrange my funeral and make sure i get my departure from this life all squared away. :( not cool.
so in response to your weather it has been 40-60 degrees and rainy here which is crazy because this time last year it was snowing! not a whole lot is different. we had a sweet lesson with vernon lykins this week. i'll send some snippets from another letter to you. (i dont want to write it out twice) but it was amazing and we had a visitor from beyond the veil at the end of the lesson. i've never felt like that before. we didnt see anything but you could tell the said person was there. i'll explain more through a letter. can you believe its already christmas? thats crazy. holy cow(only in india)
so life is going well. i've realized however that i have not been spending enough time in the book of mormon. so im going to be stepping up m reading.
my comp was sick yesterday so we played about 6 or 7 games of chess, read a ton of scriptures, he threw up about 5 times, and we played battleship, missed church (sister collins said we shouldnt go and get everyone else sick), and sister johnson brought us ice cream and the most amazing chcken noodle soup ever, the we planned our p-day and planned some lesson for tonight, and then we played another game of chess and the went to bed..............
things are looking up around here, even though i get discouraged sometimes. but satan sucks, and the work will go on. one of the reasons i know this is that 52,000 19-26 year old could not do this work unless it were true.
gordon b hinckley said something to that effect during his interview with mike wallace on 60 minutes. wallace asked how does it work? hinckley said it shouldn't! but it does.
anyway let me know if you need me to pray for anything specific.
LOVE YOU!!!!
