P-Day 76

Hi Mom!

I am doing good. Haha and setting up the equipment again for the Christmas party. It was funny because I got texted in Juneau asking how to set up the equipment. I just said "I will explain when it is closer because I might be back." But at this point I knew I was coming back because President Lee told me a week early lol. 

But yeah I cut my hair short. I do it myself now because I found a pair of clippers and learned to cut hair a little bit. Except around the ears.... I'm terrible at it. But I only have a 1" blade so when the top gets long, that is all I have. So I just buzz it short and let it grow out then trim the sides. 

Yes I got both the packages. And mmm... I'm just going to skip facetiming 😜 Because lucky isn't there. Also, what is grandmas address? I have a package to send for Christmas and I'll send it to Utah instead of Arizona. 

We'll we had a good week this week. We were busy and able to visit it a ton of people. Nothing abnormal like last week with the pig. It warmed up... "warmed up." It is now high 20s low 30s. Cold by Arizona standards but right now these feels warmer than below 0!

Last Monday we had a busy P-day shopping, haircuts, emails, and a good nap! I also had to give a baptismal interview to a young man all the way out in Bethel, AK. It is amazing how we can communicate face to face over such long distances with FaceTime.

Tuesday was just district meeting. It was a good district meeting. I hate training over technology and 2 of the companionships in my district are out in Nome and Bethel. Tuesday it just froze up a ton! It was a good meeting. We had a service afterwards where we went to the sports arena and we they set it up for the Neighborhood Gift program. So families with low income can come and get food and gifts that have been donated for their families. Turns out that there was a need for Hmong speakers to help out. Well, we had two right in the building. We talked to a ton of Hmong people. We knew some and didn't know some but we got our faces out there. It was a blast! Even picked up some new potential investigators out of it!

Wednesday we visited Dily and as we walked in he was talking to this Hmong Thaib Teb girl (Hmong girl in Thailand). Basically they just talked with people here in America and act like they love you.... they then ask for money. And they are usually married but he needed help how to talk with her. So we had to teach him how to talk to Hmong girls... We also taught him obedience and why we are obedient.

Thursday we went out with a ward mission leader, President Lee. He is crazy bold and it's funny something's. But he is an OG and can get away with it. We were able to meet some good people and try and raise our attendance.

Friday we had the Ward and branch Christmas party. It wasn't as good as last years but it was alright. We had some investigators come and enjoyed it. There was a pretty good turnout.

Saturday we had an emergency move. Mee Lee fed us, so it was good food. We taught some people so it was a good day!

Sunday was the sabbath. We had to do a lot of errands for our relief society president. We also prepared envelopes to send a letter to every member. We didn't have any labels and my handwriting sucks... But we did it.  But yeah we did a lot of ministering.

It was a good week. Love you!
