Dear Family,
So this week was kinda cool, I guess. Actually, I guess it was pretty dang good; Marjorie got confirmed!
And then we made those salted caramel cookies at her house with another member as an FHE. Unfortunately, when we made them, we threw in too much margarine and it was a bit melted so the dough was a bit liquidy and we had to put it in a cupcake pan! Then they turned out kinda weird... still tasty but like a cookie with a 'cakey' part on the bottom. It was pretty funny and we had a good laugh. We also taught Marjorie about temples and she thought it was awesome and cool because she said while she was in the baptismal font, she felt the presence of her grandmother who had always been a big spiritual influence for her while she was growing up. So, she wants to do her proxy baptism!
My companion has been a bit.... anxious; the poor fella's going home in, like, 5 days. If you ever get the chance to be with a missionary ending their mission I wouldn't quite recommend it. Homeboy's been a bit crazy. I am training this next transfer though! That's gonna be rad! There's a 80% chance he'll be a latino, which is chill, but I kinda feel like I can help an American more because their experience will be closer to my own. It's gonna be tough for the poor guy because transfers are a WEEK before Christmas! What a struggle. Actually, on top of that, my two other house mates are kinda lame and don't "feel like" decorating the house or doing any Christmasy! And my current comp is going home! So, when my kid arrives we'll get right down to planning some Christmas stuff to do Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I'm thinking of a Christmas Eve dinner and then some peppermint popcorn with Elf or something in the morning, if I can get permission from President!
A funny story: the other day while we were doing a contact, talking to this one woman, another woman exits her apartment with a bag of swordfish and gives it to the woman we were talking to. Then we start talking to the other woman and she says, "You boys want some swordfish?!" and we're like, "Uh, yeah!" so she gives us a whole kilo of swordfish and we baked it that night with cheese and spices on top! Pretty bomb!
There's not too much to tell this week because it was kinda slow with a bunch of meetings for my companion and a zone conference, but this next week we have a lot of stuff we're doing so I'm pumped! Love you all and have a great week. Enjoy the Christmas Season and #Lighttheworld!!!
