Regina

So I'm currently in Regina (again ugh) :) This is why I'm so late today at emailing and also why I might not be able to get back to everyone that I would like to so please excuse me.  BTW interesting things about Regina (Re-jeye-na): Once you pronounce that out you'll wonder why anyone would name anything like that instead of Re jee na. It's become second nature to me now and I'm pretty used to it but when I first heard it I kinda had a "WHat did you Say??" moment. Lotsa fun. The drive from Yorkton is 2 hours (Yay...) and it is the second largest city in Saskatchewan with the only temple in our mission. The reason I'm here right now is because of Exchanges. Now that I'm the comp of a district leader I get to do exchanges with Zone leaders. So woo here in the dirty city again :)

Anywho the big news for this week is we finally have our missionary couple here and getting settled in. Yesterday at church it was wild. We had the new missionary couple (the Olsens) the stake president (President Noblet (No-blay(He's French))) and his cronie and President Craig decided to make a surprise visit. WHooo :) So basically our branch got a spiritual shot of roids. I was so yoked when I saw President Craig walk in. We talked about a lot of great things and we're having a pilot program get started out in Cote all good stuff for missionaries to hear. 

Also it's been getting really cold and wintry now. We got down to about -28 degrees wind chill C. I'm not sure what is worse though. -28 wind chill or -10 with humidity. Either way it's cold cold cold. But I'm surviving so far so that's good :) I'm going to have to see what happens when it gets to -39 degrees C because we can't go out at -40 :) For those of you on Fahrenheit scale -28 is about -18 degrees. So colder than what most of you are experiencing :D Today is fairly nice actually. It's around -5 degrees so no thermal underwear weather :)

CHRISTMAS!! for my moms sake becasue I didn't tell her this yet we've got dinner appointments scheduled every day this week and a couple on Christmas day. We started getting people fighting for us to come over this last sunday so that was good :) It helps when you're the only two Elders within 200 ks :)

Hope y'all have a very very merry Christmas and remember the true meaning as well :) Love you all. Till next time Potatoes gonna potate
 
Love Elder Mikesell
