10: We had a 48hr exchange! We had a 48 hour exchange with cave junction. Usually it’s only 24 hours, but they came in to Grants Pass for a tire change, and it was interviews the next day, so they decided to stay! In our small, box on an apartment. It was good, we went out and did some tracting, and the other elders did plenty of contacting. It was super fun.
9: Christmas party was very rushed. The Christmas party was quite obviously rushed. There were also dad jokes aplenty courtesy of the Bishop. Luckily we left early because;
8: Chopping wood! We went over to the Becks house to chop wood. We almost go through their whole stack of wood, but we had to cut it a little early. We went to our Christmas party, stayed there for long enough, then came back to the Becks to keep chopping wood, and have Tim cook us up some nice cubed steaks.
7: On exchanges we played Axis and Allies, over the course of a couple days. So we were talking with Brother Seevy, our landlord about board games for some reason, and so we played Axis and Allies for a whole 2 days. That was not fun. We stayed up till 2 playing that.
6: Interviews We had interviews with President Orton, and it went really well, except everything was a whole hour late.
5: Helped move a lady from the ZL’s ward That’s why this is coming out later than I wished, but that’s okay, we helped someone out.
4: We had a district council about Blacks in the Priesthood. Elder O’Bannon has studied the crap out of the whole issue of the Blacks in the Priesthood. So that was really cool. Putting it really simply; Everyone was racist back then, and hated the church even more for treating black people well. So if the church kept treating black people well, then the church might not have survived because of people’s hate and anger.
3: Crockpots are easy I made one of the soups that could be done in the crockpot and it was really good. But no one wanted to try it. That was sad. But I got to enjoy all of it.
2: Morning basketball Very fun, especially because the church is right next to us. I might be getting really good at basketball.
1: Christmas is coming!!!!! Christmas is going to be really fun! We are going to be watching Incredibles 2!!!! We are also going to be getting a ton of ribs at the Becks!! Smoked Prime Rib, here we come!!!!
Love you all, merry Christmas, remember the reason for the season, but more importantly, he’s the reason for life.
