Transfer 5, Week 3: A Birthday Party

Hey Everyone,
       How are you all doing? I am pretty good. This week hasn't been super crazy, but that is okay, Haha. Not a whole lot happened.
        We had exchanges with the Zone Leaders this week, that was fun. I got to go to Great Falls with Elder Allen. Just like old times at the MTC. It was pretty fun. We had a pretty full and busy day, doing service, a lesson, and some store contacting. Funny thing about the store contacting, over half of the peole we talked to live in Fairfield. So there was a pretty cool connection there.
        On Wednesday, we delayed District council to help with the food bank/truck that drops off at 10 am every other Wednesday. We didn't get started with our meeting untill around 2 pm because of it. It was fun, but very different time wise from what we were expecting. 
       Thursday, we made an ice cream lemonade cake, thanks mom, for Friday. It smelt very good, and it was hard not to eat it early. We also had inspections, and had a good time out in Augusta. 
      Friday was the big day. December 14th. Wow. I am 20 now. I feel so OLD. All we did was open the presents that I was sent, and weekly planned, because we weren't able to get it done on Friday. 
      Saturday, the only highlight was helping Br. Phinney with a light the world project for the neighborhood. 
      Sunday was pretty sweet. We had the oppurtiunity to go to the "Keeping Christ in Christmas" concert at the Sunriver Church building. The concert was supposed to take 1 hour, but it ended up taking a lot closer to 2.5 hours. It was great though to see all of the talents in the community and we got to hear a sweet gospel choir. It was a great night. 
       A quick update on John, because I'm sure you are all wondering about him. We are on hold as far as the baptism. President has to do some paperwork, and so the baptism is delayed until we get the approval. I hope we hear the news soon.
       Ok, Spiritual thought. You probably all know where I'm going with this, It's week 3 of Light the world. This week's theme is light your family. Try to view the video on lds.org, and see if you can come up with some ideas to light your family this week. 
       Thank you for all the support and all of the birthday wishes this past week. I appreciate it, and I can't wait for this upcoming week. 

All my Love,
Elder Sherwood
