No squirrel yet

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I didn't write yesterday. Since it was veterans day we moved P-day to today and we just worked yesterday. It's pretty cold this morning, about 30 degrees. It was supposed to snow a little but it didn't. Oh and the trees here are changing like crazy. There are so many leaves on the ground. Some yards have like 5 inches of leaves just sitting on their grass and cars. 

So this past week was pretty good. Nothing crazy happened or anything but it was just overall a good week. Gabriel is still good for his Baptism this Sunday. We are going to meet with him wednesday and then our ward mission leader is having him over for dinner on thursday, so this week is going to be great.Tomorrow is zone conference, which only happens every other transfer, and President Woodbury and his wife will be giving us a training. It's supposed to go from 9 to 4 so it'll be a long day but it will be very good. 

All of our other investigators are going pretty good. We set a baptism date with Dale and Ruth for the 15th of December, which is great. Every one else will just take more time. Some people just need a long time to get used to the things we teach to make a decision. We're basically done with Ed. We've tried so hard to get him to stop drinking and come to church but every Sunday he just makes up an excuse to not come and the past few times we've gone to his house he just drinks in front of us. 

I'm super excited for the holidays! Hopefully I won't be transfered out of here on the 26th. Elder Crook has been here longer than me so he's more likely to be transferred than I am. President Woodbury is also having a Christmas devotional on the 23rd so we will get to go to Louisville! Oh and we were updated on the iPads and iPhones, our mission will be getting them for all the missionaries in June. So that kinda stinks its so far away but at least we know when we're getting them. They are going to make teaching so much easier. Each missionary will have their own iPad and each companionship will get an iPhone. So dope. 

Well that basically all I can think about to write this week. Personally I'm doing great. Talking to people on the streets is getting a lot easier for me. And I've also recognized that when the lord said, "ye shall not be confounded before men", he truly means that. We have so many people attack the teachings of the church and the way we view things but we always have a good answer for all of them. I've realized that when the spirit is speaking through us we don't have to feel this overwhelming feeling of the spirit but it's just a calm feeling when you talk and you just know exactly what your going to say to best answer peoples questions. I love and miss you all!!
