53,000

Hey everybody, 

 

 

So my companion went home on Friday, so I am now in a Trio with Elder Stoker and Elder Nielson. When we were down in Phoenix we went to a Mexican food place called Waldos. It was the best Mexican food I have ever had. It's weird having 3 people in the companionship but it has been fun.

 

 

The other day we went over to visit a member, and their daughter was working on a puzzle. We asked how many pieces it was, to which she calmly responded 53,000 pieces. You heard me right, 53,000 pieces, one of the largest in the world. She has to do it in Segments, and to put it all together she has to put it on the floor of the gym in the stake center! So naturally, we picked up our jaws that seemed cemented to the floor, and continued our visit. We couldn't believe it.

Doing work on Facebook has been going super well, we have visits set up for this next week to start teaching a bunch of people.

 

 

Today we are going to go play pickle ball and spike ball with some of the young men in our ward, so that will be a blast.

 

 

We are super excited for Christmas coming up, We bought Monopoly for it so that is super exciting. It has been awesome doing some of the Light the world things, and bringing Joy to others.

 

 

Last night we went to our dinner which was at the Browns home. Apparently they used to live in Eagle, Idaho and know My brother in law's family, so it was super cool to talk to them. They are a hilarious family, and we rolled out of there laughing. They have Swedish ancestors and they were celebrating a Swedish Holiday called Lucia, which I had never heard of. So we drank a glass of homemade Glug, and called it a day.  

 

 

Thanks everyone for their emails, I enjoy reading all of them!
