New Year

we went to bed at 10:30 and didn't even think about waking up before that. i thought owen liked movies? just stick a sucker in his mouth and he'll be fine. what did the bullocks have to say? i haven't really gotten sick, im pretty grateful because i never got any of the shots. i got a card from the alexanders, earls, voorhees, and williams.
last week in sacrament the topic was Christ and Christmas, it didn't go as well as i imagined, i was trying to get the point across about how Christ or Heavenly Father gave us the gift of agency so i was reading stuff out of the pearl of great price so thats probably where it went down hill. it is snowing right now and yesterday was probably the coldest i have been in a long time it was below 20 degrees so pretty chilly. i used the scarf for the first time on saturday probably, it did a pretty good job. i went to martin on friday for interviews and exchanges in paintsville, it was alright, i was ready to leave when i got transfered there. the areas in our district is huntington, barboursville, logan, and gallipoise.
1. What was your favorite experience of the past week?
this past week we did a very small amount of tracting and we got 4 new investigators, 2 of those which were from members and are being taught in member homes. the mission goal for new investigators each week is 3 so it was pretty good to get 4. the other 2 were from people who had ordered things from the internet or tv offers.
2. Tell us about one of your favorite investigators.
Mike Napier is one of our new investigators from last week, he is probably 24. he went to bible college, in one of the classes called christianity or cult his group had us in the middle because he knew we weren't a cult or something. he's pretty solid, we had a really good lesson with him on saturday night. i feel the spirit pretty often but when we were teaching him it was a constant really strong spirit that i felt.
3. Did anything unusual happen this week?
we live on a college campus, alot of unusual things happen to us.
4. What are you looking forward to this week?
teaching mike, we're helping him move tomorrow, he's a pretty solid investigator that wants to learn and he understands what he teach him.
5. What is something new that you have learned lately?
i learned that fasting works, we had an area in our zone that had been struggling so we fasted yesterday and they got 3 new investigators and taught probably 16 lessons so it was pretty cool.
6. What do you and Elder Taylor like to do for fun on pday?
we like to play basketball
7. Do you and your companion have anything in common(sports or ?).
we don't like the cold.
8. What do you like to cook for dinner or do you usually have dinner appointments? yesterday i made this amazing hamburger and ate it on a bagel, it was pretty good, i put cajun seasoning on it.
i remember preston pretty well, he was a pretty funny kid. he has an older brother named brett that i was friends with at wasatch but i think brett just got in to hanging out with the wrong kids and things like that, preston might be a little the same way but i don't think he got as bad as his brother.
hope you are happy
love
