Hey mom i am doing great. haha having a pday thursday and then having one on monday is a pretty good gig, i think i could get use to this! Haha that'll probably never happen again though. But the game was pretty dang fun. We got to drive all the way out to buffalo, which was way fun because i have never been out to that side of the mission yet. And then the game was just a blast, there were a ton of BYU fans, and i forgot how much i missed basketball when i got to watch that game. it was way good, and the mission president was there too so that was cool. And it was fun getting to talk to people about the gospel at a basketball game, how sweet is that. There were these 3 old guys Elder Larsen and i talked to for like 20 minutes and they just loved it. Pretty amazing. It was kinda sad to me, some other missionaries thought it was funny, but when we walked in the game the whole student section made a cheer saying "we're not interested!" People are lame, we were only coming to watch a bball game. Other than that though, it was pretty epic i'm not going to lie.
You are right, it was so nice, it got warm out here for the weekend! It was so nice, i really did feel like i got to defrost a little bit. But its right back to the cold. I don't think it is the cold thats really bad, its the frigid wind that is terrible, haha it is so cold when we are out walking that sometimes i lick my lips and then they are frozen! I hate doing that haha, but i always forget for some reason. I am suprised how cold it is out in phoenix right now, that is nuts!
Things here in Geneva are going great. We got back in with one of my favorite families ever. It was sad we haven't been able to see them for like 3 weeks they have been so busy. Its the Liu family, they are amazing. Its the chinese guy who makes the best food in the entire world! Love it, and they missed us so much too that they invited us over for dinner again tonight! I am mega pumped, because Wing ( the husband ) and i get along so well, and he is inactive and i really want him to get coming back to church. And he does come out to church when he knows we'll be there so that is good. And the best part too is we are working with another amazing less active couple, the Phillips. They are the best, they are pretty much like another set of grandparents out here. And they love having us over so much, that if we haven't been over in a couple days, they give us a call to see where we have been. I really think they are getting ready to come back to church too. Missionaries have been over before and they have just sent them away, and they have just embraced us. And they still believe the church is true, they were just offended before, which is sad. But we are doing great work with them. And also there is this guys in our ward Bro Robinson, he speaks spanish and he is really cool, and he has started to come out and teach with us now, so its nice having someone else there to help me with the spanish work instead of having to do it all on my own.
Oh and the coolest part of this weekend was we got to go to the temple on Saturday! What a way to start out the new Year right? Pretty amazing, and every other temple in the world was closed, and the temple president there told us we were the 1st elders in the world to go through a temple session in 2011. Thats a nice little gem to put in the journal if i say so, haha. Well i love you mom and i can't wait to hear from you again next week. Tell jessica to update the blog and send out my memory card because i am sending you one back this week too. I love you mom! i hope your finger is doing better
Love,
Elder ingram
