So this week was pretty bland. Not much happend because we havent been able to meet with anyone really. So we really dont have many investigators so weve been tracting a lot lately. Joseph, one of our investigators, completely dropped us out of no where. We were walking down the street and he pulls off to the side of the road and honks at us. so we go over there to talk to him and this is what he said. "hey guys its been really nice to meet with you but i want you to leave me alone." and that was that. but whatever its his own salvation.

But we do have like 2 new investigators. more like one. Ill talk about him later. So Thanksgiving. It was an all day P-day so the night before we stayed in Sanford with those elders because we had to pick them up in the morning for turkey bowl. At like around 9 we went to manassa and played football for a few hours. It was a lot of fun. It was like 10 elders (total) and then some men from both Manassa and Sanford. After that we went home and took a nap because we were completely beat. We went to our branch presidents house for dinner at around 1.30 ate food talked with their family and stuff, tried not to watch the football game on the tv. Afterwords we went back to our apartment and slept some more. We woke up and were super bored cuz there is nothing to do so sanford called us up and we went over to their place and watched the testiments at their house (we borrowed a tv from the church). and that was basically thanksgiving for me. Not too exciting but still pretty good. Ever since then though ive been really sore from playing football.

Alright so this sunday was way awesome because I had my first investigator at church!!! His name is Frederick Sanchez. Some background on him. Hes this short 70 year old man. He kinda reminds me of a mexican yoda. He has grey hair and hair comming out of his ears. He talks very strange kinda like yoda too. Hes really educated in religion becasue he studied to become a catholic preist. He knows a lot of church doctrine but not the basics. The big catch is that he's gay. So that will be the big challenge but hes the only progressing person we have.

Mom ill send you the answers to those questions next week cuz i dont have a lot of time. I would also like some thermal garments just to add a little more protection from the cold. And some jeans. I told dad about that. Oh and by the way i didnt get transferred today and im still with elder guymon. Ill send my memory card as soon as i get to walmart next so i can print them out. I love you all and tell everyone i say hello and i love them
