How are you all doing? Are you getting through the Holidays ok? Christmas was great here. A lot of exciting things have happened this week, so we won't delay any longer...
On Christmas Eve, we went to Great Falls for an oil change. Then we got to spend the evening at the Rammells Place watching 17 Miracles, and helping Br. Rammell with a Facebook auction he was holding.
Christmas day was fantastic. After opening presents, we were thrilled to talk to our parents that morning. It was great, and felt so good to see them again. We had the chance to have a late lunch with President Swensen, (the stake president) and Luigi, (the Choteau Ward mission leader). Afterwards, we had dinner with the Pearsons, and watched the Movie, "The Polar Express" the approved movie for Christmas.
We spent like all day in Great Falls the day after Christmas as well. We had District Council, chaperoning the zone leaders, which ended up taking us till around 5pm. It was really fun though.
On Thursday, Elder Lunt tore a phone book in half. It was quite impressive. The only thing that makes it not so impressive, was the fact that he had to take a cerated knife to cut it a little bit before he was able to rip it in half.
Saturday, we got to and see some really old Mustangs while trying to visit a few people. It was pretty sweet.
Sunday was pretty sketchy. We had good meetings and all, but in the meantime, the weather quickly worsened. It went from windy, to snowing to Whiteout Blizzard. We had to abandon all previous plans to spend the day in Sunriver, to get back home, before the storm got any worse. It was quite a bad storm. Ugh.
One thing that sometimes sucks about being a missionary is the limited miles we are allowed to go a month in our vehicles. Because if this limitation, yep you guessed it, we did just about everything this week on foot. Yeah!!
The good thing this Blizzard provided, was the snow, but not the cold. We finally have our White Christmas out here. Yeah! But it also has gotten below zero. Brrr.
Well, quick spiritual thought for the week. Christmas is over, but that doesn't mean that we should stop being good disciples of Christ. We can still do our best to improve, and build up the kingdom of Christ. Especially during this week. With the New Year we can renew our determination to follow Christ, and we can be examples of him in our daily lives.
Well, it was good to see and hear from everyone this week. And I hope that all is well. I can't wait for this next year.
Love,
Elder Sherwood
I thought my mom would kill me if I didn't take Christmas pictures, so I made sure I got some.
