I am glad to hear that you had a good Thanksgiving. It was a fun day for me as well we got to play in the unofficial ward turkey bowl and that was really fun. Nothing like playing a little football in the mud and I also had the first touchdown of the game. After that we went back to our apartment and did some cleaning and wrote letters. President Morby doesn't have us go out and proselyte on holidays because he wants people to know that we celebrate them. About two we went over to the Schoonmakers and put up some Christmas lights outside (that's why we were in jeans and t-shirts) and had dinner about four. After dinner we played scum for a while . It was really fun, on days like that we get to build relationships in a much different way. After that we went over to the Murdock's for desert. Never can have too much of that right? It is crazy but holidays are so much different out here. I think it is because we just do things different.
So this week we had the battle of the fan. In our apartments there are exhaust fans in the laundry "room" (closet off the kitchen) that are on a timer that runs them twelve hours a day. I hate it so I pulled our timer out. So our fan isn't a problem. But the lady downstairs from us moved out a couple of weeks ago. Well last Sunday night her fan came on at about 1AM (so really Monday morning) and there was something wrong with it. It was SO Loud!! It started to shake our floor and we really couldn't sleep through it. So we figured that it was probably just a fluke thing right. WRONG! Tuesday at 1AM all we hear is thunk, thunk, thunk. So we went to the office to tell them about it. Wednesday morning... Same thing. Thursday same thing. Friday Same thing. Saturday same thing. Ok at this point I am starting to get really upset (possibly mad). There is nothing worse than not being able to sleep and waking up with a headache. SO we went to the office but I told Elder Byam that I probably shouldn't be the one to talk because I might get a little too passionate. So we talk with them and the one lady said that we will get that fixed. Well we had heard this before so I had my doubts so we decided to write a note and put it on the dead bolt so we would know if they even tried to fix it. We get back on Saturday night and the note was still on the lock so we knew that it was going to be another really long night. So we pulled our beds into the office (actually the bedroom but it works better with the desks in there and the beds in the living room) and just plopped them on the floor and shut the door and played music. Still woke up many times in the night and with a headache but it was better. Sunday night we get home and there is a reply note saying that the fan had been fixed. AHH! Best night of my life!! So in the end we won the battle of the fan!!!:)
Other than that it has been a great week. Jeff is still progressing towards baptism and the Mossbergers are getting closer. We are going to challenge her to baptism on Sunday (lots of prayers).
I love being a missionary and all that comes with that. I love this Gospel and pray that we will continue to have great success!
I love and miss all of you!!!
