How yall makin' out?
Well this week was a good one. Very slowish, with Christmas Eve and Christmas and everything like that. Christmas was good. I was able to skype my family which was sweet. I got some Christmas cards, the picture of my brother in my family's card shows that he is a baller. I taught him so well. And my district came to our apartment and we did tapout yoga for our workout and then opened our presents and played Risk 2110. The best form of Risk. You can invade and take over the moon. Then we had 3 dinner appointments. It was ridiculous. Thanksgiving all over again. So that was Christmas.
So we have not had any stand out lessons with our investigators. We have just really really read the Book of Mormon with them. But we have a ton of contacting because we have very few people to visit. So we were contacting this Hispanic and got a return appointment. Well it was raining and we are on bikes. This white guy named Nickel asks if we are Jehovas Witness's and if we know that it is raining. We say that we are Mormons and then he invites us in to teach him the difference between Mormons and other Christians. So he takes us in, we meet his very pregnant wife and kid and we start talking. Then he tells us his life story how he was a meth addict and came to God. Then a friend comes in and he shouts, "WHERE IS MY MONEY? DO YOU HAVE ALL OF IT OR DO YOU NEED TO MAKE PAYMENTS?" We thought it was a drug deal. It was for a welder. Then his mom comes in and he says, "Stay and hear what the Mormons have to say." She says no, then he says "If you stay under my roof you follow my rules. Just like when I was growing up you said that to me all the time!" Then she says, "And look how well that worked" and walked out the door. Then he tries to give us venison jerky and can't find it so he tells us to come Tuesday (New Year's Eve) and he will feed us venison sausage and burgers. A lot of other stuff happened which I have no time to explain. But in between all this we were able to teach about the restoration and he and his wife were interested. So we are going back tomorrow to eat deer. ESTOU MUITO ANIMADO!!
And we were contacting last night there were a ton of fireworks and we had no clue why. So we ask some people who were lighting them off and they said with a "are you stupid" tone, "the Saints won, and it is ALMOST New Year's". So that proves, boys and girls, that football is the #1 religion, followed by Catholic.
Well that is all I have got for this week. Thank yall for the Christmas cards. They were awesome. Have fun on New Year's and stay classy.

Christmas Day fun!
