Winter is Coming(and Kittens)

Chances are that this halloween we're going to have a blizzard. We've already been getting a lot of rain and all it's going to take is about -2 degrees more to changes that into snow.

So as many of you know happy birthday to me happened this last week. I think the Lord realized that because the day of my birthday was pretty much our only good day doing finding. pretty much the rest of the week was a drag but we survived which is good if you ask me. For my B-day we went to subway for district lunch ( even though Elder Spell was the only one who knew it was my birthday (whoops ;) )) That night I got myself a birthday Blizzy from DQ. I then proceeded to sing happy birthday to me and blew out the candles. Just another day in the Dirty Ville.

Even though finding was a pain this week we were able to have a few lessons which is always good :)

Another interesting thing that happened was we were able to have a dinner appointment with a family we don't usually get to see because they live for days away. But, since elder Spell and I have Ks(short for kilometers we're allowed to have with mission vehicles) for days and Elder Baker and Muller found out they got lied to on how many Ks they have as well as not caring as much we went out to their house. Upon entry we were bombarded with waves of kittens. we had to throw them out of the vehicle time and time again. We were getting overwhelmed they were just crawling everywhere. But we made our escape and tried getting our bags out of the back but to no avail. The kittens were too many.

I'll send some pictures later but there was just like 5-8 kittens and they just wanted hugs. I had two of them on my lap while sitting in my seat and when I tossed one away it would get back before I could toss the other one away. Lots of fun just little needles crawling all over you.

Love you all and thanks for the love

For my birthday we didn't do much ;) Probably because of my own fault but it's all good. We went to eat at subway for district lunch which hit the spot. In the evening right before bed Elder Spell and I went and got some Blizzies from DQ. I got a birthday cake flavored one and put some candles in it. I got a video of me singing happy birthday to myself but I'm not sure if I will be able to send it. I think it was dad telling me to sing happy birthday to myself but if it wasn't I don't know who it was. Also pretty much everyone told me happy birthday the day after my birthday.. If you go look at my facebook page you'll see why :D I still haven't mustered up the courage to tell some of the people that it wasn't that day... :) I did indeed get myself a Bionicle. Elder Spell and I have used it for practices which has been funny.

I think the best birthday present I received though was the miracle at Davis. Having Facebook allows me to see stuff before I hear about it in emails. This may not be good sometimes but it's been helpful as well. When I watched and heard about how that happened I about started crying because it was so good. I'm so glad you told me more about it and made that analogy because it's just an awe inspiring experience. I know that there are going to be more miracles again with this band this year. Have luck with BOA and try and keep your sanity ;)

This week other than my birthday has been fairly uneventful except for we were able to get in with an investigator that Elder Lee and I were not able to for an entire transfer. We actually met with them twice this week which has been great.

P.s the first major frost has come......

[I asked what exactly he does with the bionicle. This is what he said.]

We practice lessons and stuff for comp. study and training and it's just weird not having a third party to practice on. we prefer to do it with living people but its nice to have a object of focus for our practice lessons
