Hello everyone!!! I didn't get to sending an email last week, so sorry about that...everything has been pretty crazy!! A had her baptism last Saturday! Well, actually 2 Saturday's ago. I will hopefully have pictures next week! We also went to the Temple today, so i will hopefully be able to have pictures of that next week as well! It's really difficult to get them sent because I usually take them with my ipad and then have to take pictures of the pictures on the ipad with my camera and then hook that up to the computer. It's a pain. But I'll figure it out! Fun things that have happened in the past two weeks are....1. Christmas! except we didn't really do anything. Just sat and wrote letters most of the day and then skyped my family later on! 2. New Years! I got to turn in earlier than usual because of innebriated crazy's driving around at night. Then our District leader and Zone Leaders came over and we had some cider. 3. I'm getting really good at riding bikes. I can wreck, fall off, and jump back on in one fluid motion. 4. Missionaries here go to someone's house with a fire pit when they reach their 6 month, year, 18 month, and 2 year marks, and burn a tie, shirt, pants, then suit respectively. This last week a couple Elders had stuff to burn, so we helped Sister D start a fire and then waited for them to show up (we had dinner with her right before). She was getting rid of her Christmas tree, so we chopped it up into pieces and when we put the pieces on (small 3x2 ft. pieces of a pine tree) we got a MASSIVE flame out of it! The last one we burnt wasn't any bigger than the others, in fact it was a little smaller, but the pillar of fire that shot up from it was a good 20 ft. and I'm not exaggerating at all!!!  5. The biking is killer in this weather! It's nice during the day, so we are fooled, then the temperature plummets towards 5 in the evening so we spend most of it freezing as we're pedaling around. I also got 2 more flat tires. In the same day. The first time there were 2 holes so I patched them up, and when I was blowing it up again another hole appeared!!! YAY FOR FLAT TIRES!!!! So I called our zone leaders and asked for a ride to the bike shop, and they willingly obliged. Cool side story, Elder H, our new Zone Leader, was going to go to the AF Academy, but he just decided he wasn't going to so he might do ROTC with me at BYU which would be AMAZING!!!  6. We went to the Temple! I love going to the Temple. I really can't think of anything else right now because it's been so long since I've thought about what to write. Our area isn't doing the best right now becasue everyone keeps cancelling appointments...Actually I just remembered, we had 2 interesting conversations this past week right after each other. The first guy, P wanted to know why the Book of Mormon is necessary. C, the second guy wanted to know the same thing, except he believed that the book of mormon comes from God and just doesnt' think it's important. I'm not going to answer those questions in this email, but food for thought. Would God just out of the blue, stop giving earth prophets and revelations for the rest of time? If God had books written by the Jews in the "middle east" or where the bible came from, how is it illogical that he would have a remnant of the House of Israel also write stuff in a different continent? If God were God, (and He is btw) wouldn't he have more than one physical document testifying of His reality? And who are we to say, no, God doesn't speak to us anymore? All of y'all have an awesome week!!! Je vous aimez!!!
