Hey!
Well I got my ballot in the mail a couple days ago so I guess I did my part haha! Mitt is in Ohio today and a bunch of people were going to go see him this morning. I guess it's getting pretty crazy here with the election. Still annoying… no one wants to talk about anything but the election haha, even members. We can't talk about missionary work, it's either politics or some big storm that is supposed to be coming. I feel so out of the loop on everything haha. I am supposed to tell you that the mission is prepared for the storm and to not worry haha. President sent us a message and made us all promise we would tell you that. It's funny, we have no idea what is going on yet they just tell us to have food and flashlights and to plan on staying inside the next couple of days haha. It has been raining and really windy the last couple days. Like all day every day… It's been miserable. Wednesday and Thursday last week were beautiful though. We rode our bikes all day both days. Lake Erie has been crazy though. The waves are HUGE and you can hear them from inside our apartment. I guess its supposed to get even crazier. I will be way upset if we don't get to go out... It will break my streak. I have done missionary work every single day I have been here. Haven't had one sick day or full day off. Which is a blessing cuz missionaries are constantly getting sick here.
So I am very grateful for the package I will be receiving and I will enjoy it as my LAST one. I am begging you, please don't let anyone send me food or candy in a package. I have been eating healthy and its bad enough eating desserts at members houses. I don't need any at home. I know you want to send me packages and stuff but trust me I don't need it. Nor any ties or clothing haha. I already have too much stuff that I cant pack. Everything has been holding up well and I have taken care of it all so most of it should last through my mission. Gift cards to anywhere are good! There is a QDoba in my area now that I have been catching up on. haha but don't bank on that for Christmas cuz odds are I will be gone before Christmas. I do have a couple things I want for Christmas though.
I did get the letters from the ward! They were awesome. I will write back to the Robbins and send Bishop another letter.
That's sweet brother Chipman is Bishop! Good thing it wasn't dad haha. Man it will be so weird coming home. EVERYTHING is changing. Oh well.
This week went really well! Found a couple new investigators. We tracted into a mom and son and went back to teach them this week and it went so well. They are a way nice Catholic family. The son is 12 and is like 6"2 and super mature. He studies religion on the weekends for fun. He plays basketball obviously. I told him I knew a few young men that would probably worship him if he came to play on the church ball team. It was an awesome lesson though, basically they were really curious about the church and she wanted to know why we were so dedicated and why we wanted to do what we were doing so we just bore testimony of why we are on missions and then taught about the Book of Mormon and how it relates to the Bible and how they support one another. They thought it was the coolest thing ever how you could cross reference it. That was basically the most exciting thing that happened this week.
Your taco bar thing sounds awesome. Just make sure there is enough. Zone conference lunches are something we always look forward to haha.
Well I hope you have another good week and you can keep recovering from all your vacations. Love and miss you!!!
