Is the election over yet?

HI! 

Glad you are having fun on the cruise!  That is a small world about Max.  I never thought there would be so many weird connections with people and places on my mission.

This week was pretty normal.  Nothing too ground breaking.  We're finally getting to know the area and the members better and have been doing a lot of tracting.  I swear if one more person asks me who I am voting for I am gonna punch them!  haha it is getting so old.  It's like every other door now.  I can't wait till this election is over.  Finally at this one door this guy asked me and I was just like "we're voting for this guy, pointing to Christ's name on my tag, but were not here to talk politics were here to talk about Him."  He wasn't interested in talking about Christ.  I have just been trying to think of creative ways to use the question cuz I am getting sick of trying to be indifferent and avoiding it haha  Oh!  Also I was really mad because I was talking to a senior couple in the office this week and found out since I have been here over a year and have an address I could have registered to vote in Ohio. Some missionaries did.  Wish I woulda known that sooner.  She said they didn't tell everyone cuz they don't want us to be worried about that stuff.   (that's ok, Colorado needs his vote too!!)

It was cool to get a hand delivered package in church yesterday! haha thank you!  They were way cool and Sister Gibbs was way nice and excited haha.  It was funny cuz we had this investigator Shaun at Church.  He is a LONG story but he is this 25 year old from Afghanistan.  But after Sacrament meeting he was like asking me who the Gibbs girls were and if I could introduce him and all this stuff.  Finally I was just like Shaun did you come to church just so you could meet girls.  He was like ya why else would I come.  He is really weird.  Needless to say we pretty much dropped him after that! haha

That girl I was telling you about last week Kara is still doing really well.  She came to church and we met the rest of her family and her sisters friend wants to start coming to church with us so that's good!  We are still just trying to meet everyone and figure things out here but the members are awesome here.  I think it is a more "westernized" ward that any other I have been in so it's good.

Hope you have an awesome week!  Love and miss you!
