I am doing amazing. How are you doing? I had a really amazing week. things went great and We have had a ton of fun. Hahaha and no i didn't fall off another ladder this week, but i thought about it. I know i'm totally a dork, but the good thing is my bruises are almost all gone now haha. Geez that was funny, i wish you guys could have seen that one. You would have been busting a gut. Things with Laura are going amazing. We are still teaching her and we see her about every other day. She is still reading the Book of Mormon, she has read from the introduction all the way up to chap 4 in 1 Nephi. And thats pretty amazing, most people don't even read the intro haha. She is getting along pretty well here in Geneva, its a bummer though she really lost a lot in that fire, she doesn't even have a car anymore. I'm not sure how old she is but i think in her 40's. And it is sooo cool we went to go teach her yesterday afternoon, and we taught about prayer and the proper way to say a prayer, by addressing heavenly father, expressing gratitude and asking for things, and closing in the name of Jesus Christ. So she totally prayed at the end and she did great. AND she has a baptismal date in 3 weeks, on december 26th. It will be a way nice belated christmas present! haha it is so cool, she is excited and she loves it when we come over and share more about the gospel.
Everything else with the work is going great. Ray and Jacinda Johnson are doing amazing, they are still struggling a little bit with the smoking but they are continuing to get better and better. Frank is still great, and he is so nice. Since we don't get the chance to put up a big xmas tree out here, he let us help set up a huge tree up at the mansion, it was amazing i'll send you a picture! We are still working with the Baker family and they are doing good too. We had a ward christmas party yesterday, and Elder Simmons and I along with the sister missionaries sung in the program, so the baker family came! That was a pretty big deal they all haven't been to that church in a while. Haha and it was sooo funny the lady who played piano for us is a way nice lady, but she did so terrible we looked soooo bad. It was awesome, elder simmons and i just started laughing, because it was mega awkward turtle. Hey tell jess to update my website if she hasn't, i know that was mega random but it just popped up in my head. And another cool thing that happened this week is i have been fasting that we can find more people around here to help. And it was great because yesterday, we went to contact this referral we got and we met with this Puerto Rican family. A single mom with 3 girls. And she loved having us over and now we are going to start teaching her and her girls! Its so amazing, the power of prayer and fasting together is just epic. I am happy we are going to be able to help her and her family out, she is pretty down because it is the christmas season and her family isn't all together. But we'll be able to help cheer her up and with learning the gospel she will know that she can be together forever with her family which is just the coolest thing in the world.
Oh yeah transfers are coming up next week. Hmmmm i would say hold off on sending my package till next week, because i'll know this sunday whether i am staying or going, and i don't want the package to get stuck in geneva and me be in buffalo!!! haha. I really hope i stay here another transfer too. I love it here, honestly i could serve my whole misison here and i wouldn't care if i didnt get to see anywhere else. The people here are so amazing and i love them, and i hope i can spend christmas with them. :) And don't worry about my pills just get them out quick if you can, i ran out today but i can make it a day or 2 ok.
ANd yes it has been snowing like crazy here! :D haha i love it, it looks like a marshmellow world in the winter. haha do you remember that song, its epic, but its true. And the funny thing is i have to drive in it, and it is terrifying. but we haven't died yet so i must be doing ok. it is getting pretty cold here and that wind chill factor is brutal! haha but i'll survive. You wanna hear something amazing, megan sent me a little xmas tree and 25 days of christmas! haha she is soooooo amazing i love it, its like i have a little christmas every morning haha. I'm glad you guys like her so much too and have her over. That means a lot to me mom. :) I love you so much. Well i gotta get going things are going great here, and Elder Larson wants to marry either jessica or Sam so have whichever one he emailed write him back. He is the coolest elder in the world haha, we have decided we were brothers in the preexistance. Oh and he sent a mega hilarious mega awkward email to one of them too i think it might have been sam so tell her to check. I love you guys so much and i can't wait to hear from you soon, its going to be epic!
Love you noobs talk to you soon!
Love
Elder Ingram
