haha mom i am such a wimp haha i started crying at the end of this letter. I miss you guys so much, and i am so happy i have you guys for a family. I am bummed i won't be there for thanksgiving with you all, but you are right i am out here doing what HEavenly Father wants me to do. SO you guys better have the best thanksgiving ever and send me a bunch of pictures, and of little vander too. I can't believe i am a 3 time uncle!!!!!!!!!! I love being a turlte!!!!! i mean uncle!!!!! haha man that little kid is going to be such a fireball with the genes of kasey and joel haha. I won't be suprised if the first thing he does when i see him is him punching me in the arm! haha I am so dang happy for joel and kasey they are going to be the best parents ever. ANd now reese and maddux have a new little cousin, how awesome is that. Man joel i cannot believe you are a dad, it seems just like not to long ago we were still wrestling on our trampoline in the backyard, and me leg dropping your face when you had braces on. hahah dude that was soooo funny and you know it! Wow no lie though that is crazy, everyone in our family is growing up! whats with that? o well it is al good though.
So things this week have been pretty amazing. THere is this family out here called the baker family and they love me and they are way nice. Sis baker knitted me a scarf, and she is working on making me a quilt too. Haha it is so much fun being able to get close with families out here and stuff. And then for thanksgiving we have 2 dinner appointments and then someone invited us over for dessert! Holy crud i am going to gain like 30lbs and i am going to love it haha. That will be a good day though so i am super excited about that. SO don't worry i won't be alone for thanksgivng i will be having some fun just like you guys. So another thing that was awesome this week is elder larson and i are zone leader companions so we went on this 3 day exchange and we drove all over and had to check up and see how all the other districts were doing. holy cow we had so much fun, tell joel he is pretty much my elder bailey, he is this big huge tall and thick football player guy who is just the funniest person alvie haha i love it. We were driving down one road, this may sound bad but it was way funny, we say this big possum in the road and he was like should i hit it? and i thought and i was like dude you have to do it. ahah and we did and it was so gross but it was kinda hilarious because of the face and the noises elder larson made when we made contact. hahah geeez we are bad i'm sorry but it was soooo funny. Elder Larson also tried the 3 pancake challenge and he destroyed it, i tried it again i don't know why and i got mega sick... haha.
So on a spiritual note we had a lot of good things go down this week. We had a lesson with frank and our mission presidnet. Which was awesome we were up at franks mansion with a fire going, and the mission president just helped clear up a couple problems that frank was having and it was just so cool. I also had the wonderful opportunity to give a few people priesthood blessings this week. it is crazy i give those a lot more than i thought i ever would, and it makes me realize and know how powerful the priesthood really is.
ok now to answer some of your questions.
being a zone leader is fun, but its hard sometimes when missionaries in your zone are mega disobedient.... my companion isn't spanish speaking, so i am a lone ranger out here when it comes to the spanish program. Which is hard sometimes, but i can handle it. :) haha i am doing great with my laundry, and with cooking a lot of people feed us now so i don't cook much. the mr mac slacks just kinda are bad, my suits are perfectly fine though. Brown slip on shoes, just like any cheap rockport brown shoe, just so i can change my style up a little bit. The eccos are perfect and they are great shoes, i just want a little brown in there but if not its totally cool. :) Chris and maria are doing great, especially maria she loves coming to church and relief society!
alright mom i love you but i gotta get going i gotta wirte a letter to the president! I love you guys so much and can you believe in not too long i'll have been out here for 6 months! that is 1/4 of my misison! Keep praying for me and i love you guys so much!
Love,
Elder Ingram
