10/18 email

I'm doing amazing, how are you doing mom? And yes i am pretty cold haha. Man for 4 days this week the high was 51! That's nuts! haha holy cow it is really starting to get cold here and it usually rains when its cold too so the snow is going to be starting up soon for sure too. Holy cow i am scared haha. But thats alright, i'll have to deal with it because i'm going to be in western New York for the next 2 years. Haha not gonna lie though i am a little scared...i'm gonna freeze my butt off. Thanks for sending that package too mom, i hope you didn't think i was rushing you for it. I'm super excited to get my coat and hoodies and shoes though, its going to be amazing. Yeah i'll get some thermals here no problem, and when you do get the chance to get the thermal garments you can just get a few of them and stuff since i'll be getting some extra thermals to have. Yeah and don't worry i am buying and getting all the stuff i can so i will be warm for the next while. And don't worry i got some nice snow boots too already that are water proof and black, so i'll be able to wear those all over. they will be way nice too, especially if i am in a walking area! I have gotten some nice wool socks too and a few sweaters, i got a really nice one from megan! She is amazing. :) and i got a couple pair of gloves, a couple beanies, and a couple scarves. So i am just kinda getting what i can so i won't be an icecube haha.

SO things are going amazing with Chris. He is still on for the 24th, and we have everything almost set up and ready for it. I am so happy for him it is going to be so amazing, Elder Westley and I are doing all we can so he has an amazing experience for his baptism. All the youth form the church will be there, a ton of his family and friends are coming, and a few of our other investigators plan on coming too so things are just going to be awesome for him. I'm so happy for him, and its awesome mom, i love how happy and complete the gospel can make peoples lives. His mom is so happy he is being baptized and that they can be together forever, she just cries everytime she thinks and talks about that. Man its sooo amazing, we are so blessed to be a part of Christ's church again on the earth. I love it. :)

Things with greg are ok haha. Man that guy is crazy, the other day we went over there and it got mega weird, he started busting out and talking in tongues and stuff.... mega awkward. Haha and the even more awkward part was that he wanted us to try it too! SO we are kinda keeping our distance from that guy a little bit now, he is really nice, but its kinda sketchy haha.

Frank is still doing awesome. We had a really great time with him yesterday at church, and we went to the sacred grove and the Joseph Smith farm house with him again this weekend and it was awesome. Haha how cool is it that i can take my investigators to the exact spot where all this church history actually happened?! I mean i can say, well joseph smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, hmmmmm right here. He saw the angel moroni, hmmmm right here in this room. He recieved the golden plates, hmmmm right here. Haha and even more! THe book of mormon, well that was published and sold, here! And hmmmm the church was reorganized right here! Holy cow its epic! Hahah i love it so much and being able to use those resources rock.

So we had a big huge mission wide meeting this week. And some serious stuff went down. There are a bunch of bum missionaries out here, so the President got everyone together and said, if you aren't going to be obedient and work hard, i am going to send you home next week. THen he told us to go to the sacred grove to pray and see where we are at. And it was awesome because i already knew, hey this is where i am supposed to be and i'll do whatever i have to to be here. So it was mega intense for some people and he is having interviews with everyone next week to see who is staying or going. But you don't have to worry about me momma. :)

I am so glad sam is alright, i was way worried about her i'm not gonna lie. That is so good. And i am glad jessica can finally get her nasty tonsils out hahah. I bet she is pumped too. And that is sooo sweet that maddux got to sleep over, and i totally knew he was going to be batman! I loved hearing him ask about me and carrying my picture around. I miss that little guy so much, haha he literally is one of my best friends. :)

Hmmm lets see if i remember a couple of the questions you asked. Yes i actually cook for myself now and clean like everything, you would be proud. I am very tidy and clean out here, i do my dishes, cook my food, do all of it! I like being district leader, haha its a little wierd be a dl over a district of only sisters, but its all good. Haha and thats all i remember, i love you mom we are going to just go around and hopefully find something fun to do for pday. I love you guys so much, keep chris in your prayers. Love you mom

Love
Elder Ingram
