This week has just zoomed by. It truely is crazy how fast the mission gets. I'm glad you got those pictures from Sister Heieie (pronounced Hi - i, in case you were wondering). That is our Bishop's wife. They are super great people and alot of fun.

So we invited about 10 people to the christmas party and all 10 said they would come. It was pretty disappointing when none of them came. The Marinos and Kathryn both didn't show up which was the biggest disappointment. Well it was the biggest disappointment until they both didn't show up to Church. That was a bigger disappointment but oh well we will just keep working with them on that.

Actually on a brighter note Kathryn is preparing for baptism on January 8th and The Marinos are preparing for the 18th of December but we are going to have to push that back because in order to get baptized they have to come to church 3 times and that won't work now that they didn't come. We actually got ahold of the Marino's yesterday after church and we found out that she had a pinched siatic nerve and was in a ton of pain so hopefully they can come next week.

Thanksgiving was fun and so was the Christmas party. Not too much else happened this week. One day it got down to - 24 C which by the way is ridiculously cold. It has also been snowing quite a bit. They are expecting this winter to break records. Supposidly we already have 80% of the highest recored snow fall during winter and we are only in the first 2 weeks of winter.

Well Sorry there isn't much to write about this week. I hope you have a great week and keep up the good work (what ever that means)

Love,
Elder Turner
