Yukon Ho!: Laying Low

Welp, 'Murican holidays are for sure better. Halloween at least in Melville is a remnant of what it was or should be. To get all of my thoughts on it it should be on my blog because I sent a lot of stuff to my mom about it but right now I'll just say it was disappointing. Mainly because everyone starts trick or treating around High Noon. Kids running around in costumes trackting does not work with us running around and trackting as well. We had to lie low for pretty much the entire day. We actually got told to be hiding in our houses by 6:00 but we got permission from the pres. to have a dinner appointment. It was so much better than dying of boredom in our house.

One good thing that happened was we were able to go to mutual on thursday and take part in their halloween party. I dressed up as a band kid for a bit but I felt uncomfortable around other people with out my proselyting clothes. So I just changed back into those and put my band shirt over all of it. Another great thing about it was we were able to get a less active girl to mutual. We were so yoked that she actually went.

Other than those two things not much else happened this week. Except I just remembered that we also talked to president Craig about our housing situation now that we are going 500 or more Ks over our allotment. not forgetting to mention that we almost got rebuked by both the zone leaders AND the assistants to the President. It was fun to rebuke them for trying to rebuke us. Mainly because Elder Spell and I are pretty much the only really obedient Elders in the mission and it looked like we were being extremely disobedient when we weren't. which brings me back to what I was first saying. We talked to President Craig about possibly moving to Yorkton now that we're working there five days out of the week but I am glad to stay we're staying in the dirty ville for at least another month. Next month though we have a good possibility of getting a new address.

So yeah, It's all chill in the Ville. Love you all. be good and be good at it.

ps for those who get it... potatoes gonna potate

Halloween is a sad excuse here if you ask me. Pretty much all of the spirit goes into decorating houses weeks before it actually happens. The worst part is everyone starts trackting sorry trick or treating ;) at around noon. NOON! what in the world happened to Hallowed Eve or however Halloween started? So pretty much everyone stops trick or treating around 9 at night and it's over.. Melville is the worst because we were at the Blocks for a while for a dinner appointment and they only got 17 kids the entire day. I've decided that Canada holidays don't have as much spirit as 'Murica holidays.
