This week was a pretty fun one. The first few days of the week were pretty rough. we try people and they aren't home and you wonder how you've come so far along but are still doing the same things that don't work. But I'm trying.
Thursday was a good day though. We got to give out hot chocolate and we gave out 15 cups, 2 copies of the Book of Mormon, two restoration pamphlets. Pretty solid. Thats also when I found out Elder Allen, who's still in Lititz, also gave out hot chocolate. He did it for four days and gave out 350-400 cups, got 25 people to sign up and started teaching a family of five so far. I've had mixed feelings on it. I do have plans to expand our franchise so we get more traffic flow.
On Friday we had the mission wide Christmas conference. That was a pretty good time, got to be with my friends. Elder Lewis gave me a haircut.
Each zone did a skit or musical shin dig. My favorite one was of people behind a sheet with their shadow as the actors. It was a story of a daughter dying and then missionaries teaching the mom, the mom gets baptized then goes to the temple for her daughter. It was touching. Also Elder Mink wore an Angel costume in his skit then decided to stay in it the rest of the day. It was hilarious.
After the meeting we went to the Poultons and the Giglio'tos' were there too. We had a fun time, Mike made his infamous Gingerhea and grossed out just about everyone.
Its Ginger snaps in a bowl mixed with water. Me and the kids took apart the christmas themed sign and made a new one that said, "Gingerhea causes Cancer."
Christmas was good, it doesn't feel like Christmas but the perks are great. We got to be with the Andersons on Christmas eve and they even gave us presents. But thanks to all who gave me something, yinz are great.
Oh lets not forget the great skype session I had with my family! The most exciting part was afterwards though. The family who's house we were at, all got sick in the 2 hours we were there. The dad got a headache and started to slowly drive us home. At a red light he says, "oh no." unbuckles, opens the door and starts throwing up profusely onto the pavement. It was crazy. So far I've escaped the Stomach flu that everyone seems to be contracting. This was a narrow miss.
Merry Christmas after party
Elder Simmons
