Week 96

There is a Flight of the Conchords song with the line "No I am not a large water dwelling mammal where did you get that preposterous hypothesis did Steve tell you that perchance? Grrr.... Steve...." Well there is a member here named Steve. He is a little... Fried. And he believes  EVERYTHING on Scifi and History Channel about aliens. And so at dinner last Monday he started to show us this show called Ancient Aliens. Of course we told him "Steve! We can't watch TV!" But he wouldn't let us not watch it, he was all "Just wait! I have a question!" And so he fast forwards to this part of the show and the first words we hear are "our next encounter takes us to Palmyra, New York..." And it was then that I knew that we were in for a wild ride. Well they went on to talk about how Moroni was actually an alien from the Pletus Star Cluster. So first off, on the show they didn't even like question the fact that Joseph Smith had seen am angel, that was totally the believable part, they just wanted to know where he angel was from. We need to find some investigators like that! Well the point is, now we say "No, Moroni was not an angel from the Pletus Star Cluster,me here did you get that preposterous hypothesis, did Steve tell you that perchance? Grrr.... Steve...."

On that note, this week was really fun! I'll give you guys the details about Christmas. On Christmas Eve we went caroling in Middletown (we = Elder Whitaker, Beeston, Rasch, Kay, and I and Sister Clawson and Burgess) and it was a lot of fun! We ate with the Kings and just relaxed. 

Christmas was awesome, too! Thanks for the scriptures, they are way cool. I used some of Grandpa's gift card to buy a case for them. And you guys know me too well, Fig Newtons, Oreos, fake Samoas and protein bars? It was a good Christmas. Talking to you guys made me excited to go home! We were able to carol in a rest home, and then we helped out with a dinner at a Methodist church. After that we went to the Jessips for dinner and oh my goodness it was so good! Sweet potatoes with pineapples and marshmallows, green bean casserole, deep fried turkey, ham, jello salad, rolls, and then on top of all of that they gave us each a box of homemade and decorated cookies! They are the greatest family of all time. 

We also picked up a new investigator Tony and Elder Beeston taught him on the doorstep! He was flustered, after we taught him he said "I didn't know what to do! No one ever wants to listen to us!"

And the Mendoza family came to church!

Well love you guys!
