Well whats happening?!?! My poor crippled parents.. Mom I don't know if Jen thinks your too old to have blue streaks in your hair but if she doesn't... I do.. LOL! 64 is just a little much for blue streaks :D What is with all the crazy stuff that is happening around there? You guys are laying around all day broken and then Uncle Dave decided to join the party and have his heart stop or what? geez. I hope everything will settle down a little bit.. I pray for all of you! But I heard an old saying once that pain keeps you humble and close to the veil.. so i guess my family is just pretty darn spiritual! :D lol. But please keep me updated on how everyone is doing ok? Thanks. Well I cant believe its thanksgiving already! That means that in a month i get to call home :D hehe. That will be pretty cool. This thanksgiving is going to be miserable.. We have 2 dinners planned so far and i just know myself and food.. I'm not going to be able to walk.. Its going to suck :D But I'm sure i will survive.. Well all these close losses for the niners are a good thing.. that means maybe next year they will be good. and be able to pull it out on the close games.. who know? Wishful thinking? Well missionary work is going pretty well right now! The Bassett family came to church again for the 3rd time! I really think that they enjoy it and that they are starting to settle in.. Now if we could just get them to stop being to busy so that we could go have lessons with them then i think that they would join the church! Which would just be absolutely wonderful! This family is just awesome! We also had at church another investigator and a less-active family (of 5) that hasn't been forever and a single mother that hasn't been forever (like 4 years) came for the 3rd time in a row.. So we are doing some less-active work as well that is going nicely! I love seeing people come back into the church! Its fun! We met an interesting kid yesterday though.. He and his family joined the church 4 years ago.. A year later he went on a mission to Argentina and served an honorable full-time mission and then when he came home he started researching some of the crazy anti that one of his companions was telling him about.. (that he had hear throughout the course of his mission) and shortly after that he formally left the church (had his name removed) and now he is a messianic Jew... Yep Jews that accept Jesus Christ as their savior.. So that was an interesting conversation.. Because see in order to be a true Jew it has to come through your mother.. But he was saying it came through his father and that there were signs of it being in his mother line as well.. But hrrrrrrrp. They are pretty much mainstream Christians that believe in the trinity but claim they are all Jews.. so its kinda interesting but anyways.. We had a really good week this week. So its already dropped about 6 inches of snow here.. So i am definitely going to need some boots.. They just need to be black and polishable and waterproof and well even though it sounds weird (cause i wear a 15) not freaking huge.. If you know what i mean.. A conservative boot.. Not one that shows that i am wearing these huge boots.. now of course they are going to know that anyways.. so it doesn't really matter.. so whatever will really work.. but.. lol.. I dunno. But i don't have anywhere to buy them here unless i go to Spokane and well that isn't going to happen at least this week. So if you found some that would work that would be great just go ahead and ship em.. I will check my email next Monday before i go buy anything... to see if you sent some or if i get some in the mail this week then i will know i got some :D oh and i don't want them too high either.. i think like mid-high would be perfect.. i think its 6 inch... something like that.. but anyways i hope you will be able to find something.. But thank you for doing that! I love you guys! Happy thanksgiving! Take care of yourselves!
