Alright so i'll start out by telling you about my thanksgiving day haha it was pretty good. So we got up and did our normal morning thing, and then we walked around and said hi to all the people we work with to wish them a happy thanksgiving. And after we did that we called all the people we couldnt get a hold of. Haha thanksgiving is a little interesting to try and find time to see people because they are all busy doing their own thing you know? But then we had our first thanksgiving dinner over at the robinsons house. Haha geez so i was trying to help them get everything ready for it so i wasn't just being a bum on a log and i was trying to open this pomegranate, and i squeezed it a little too hard and it exploded! haha all over my white shirt and this brand new tie that megan got me! haha That was a little embarrassing but hey what can you do right? :) They were nice and washed my shirt for me while we were there and gave me another shirt to wear, so that was really cool. And i was really really grateful to be over at a familys house for thanksgiving and have someone care about us especially on thanksgiving. :) it was a good dinner too, it wasn't a huge thanksgiving dinner because they have a really big family but it was good.
And then after that thanksgiving dinner we went over to the Cleere's family house out in seneca falls. It was way cool, their house was built in 1855! Thats nuts, that before the civil war! You would have loved it mom. And over there we had dessert and we just hung out with them for a while and we played apples to apples. Haha it was way fun, they are a cool family. And then after that it was about 7, and we got together with elder larson and cox, and the seneca falls sister and we played board games up at franks mansion. :) That was so much fun haha, we played this game called quelf and it is insane!!! You have to tell kasey about it since she loves board games so much. haha it would be a perfect game for our family nights, it just makes everyone look like a fool haha, i love it.
So that was pretty much our thanksgiving, and i'm glad we had places to be and things to do. I miss you guys and thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. My favorite part is trying to make the crystal glasses ring and drive everyone crazy. :) But hey i only have 1 more thanksgiving to go!
Haha i got another funny story to tell you real quick before i get to another cool story. So on saturday we went to go help and do some service for this guy out in canandaigua with the other elders. So it was freezing, it had snowed the night before and it was just blowing wind hard and i was sooooo cold haha. We were helping him reside part of his house for the winter becasue it was so bad. And i was up on this ladder removing nails from these huge planks of wood, haha and holy crud some wind came and it threw off my balance and i came sailing down that ladder! Holy cow i can't believe i fell out of a ladder, i landed pretty dang hard but some angels must be protecting me because i didn't break anything. I just got bruised up pretty good. It was kinda funny to think about it afterward, because i looked like a goober just flying off that ladder! haha geez i am such a noob, thats why i don't do any construction work.
So another cool story is we found this amazing lady named laura bogler. She just moved into geneva about 3 weeks ago because her house burnt down in canandaigua. It is sad she lost everything and her 2 dogs. :( They were like her best friends. But she is such an amazing lady, i walked by her on the street and i just said hi and walked away, and the spirit told me i had to go back to talk to her. So I listened and we went and talked to her and asked if we could start teaching her and she said yes. And we are teaching her now, and its amazing. She already says she wants to get baptized and she is reading the book of mormon and praying. Its crazy to see how just one little choice could affect someone salvation you know? Because i could have not listened to the holy ghost, by being shy and not wanting to go talk, but if i would have done that, who knows if she would have ever accepted the gospel?
I love you mom so much and i hope you aren't bummed about me calling megan and not you guys! It wasn't even me, we were with frank and he just called her so it was crazy, but i kinda loved it at the same time. But I love you all so much and i can't wait to talk to you soon, can you believe i have almost been out 6 months and its coming on xmas?! Its crazy. I love you so much momma and i think about you guys all the time. Get me some pictures of the new little guy. Have a good week and talk to you soon!
Love
Elder Ingram
