Sickness Strikes January 4, 2016

Hey everybody!

Pretty interesting week this go around. Elder Obley caught something and in fear that it would get worse if we ventured out into the cold, we had a couple days of him resting up to try to get it gone as quick as possible. That left me with a lot of time to ponder, so I brushed up on my solitaire skills. It had been a while for sure. Despite that we still managed to talk to a drunk guy who had taken the lessons before and even got yelled at by a pregnant lady who was very apologetic at the same time. She knowingly acknowledged she was hormonal. Despite a rather uneventful week we had the opportunity to baptize Gabriella this week! I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but last week we were supposed to baptize her, but the water was too cold because we were unaware that we had to turn on a heater. Well, being prepared this time around, that water was daggum bathtub warm status. It was beautiful. Probably the warmest font water I'll ever step into. Poor girl has a little phobia of water though, so she was breathing deep during the prayer and got pretty scared when she went under, but after she got out she was all smiles and perfectly fine! That's pretty much the gist of the week though. I'm just over here getting fat on Christmas candy. Nothing special for New Year's Eve. I went to bed at the usual time and slept right through all the festivities. My comp says he heard fireworks. That's all though! Another week in. I hope you all celebrated safely this week and are living up out there! Love ya and have a great week!
