Texas Pete Sauce and Oregon Ducks

January 11th

So this week was fun!

I found my favorite Hot sauce!!! Texas Pete!

We had exchanges this week and I was with Elder Mogle! He is a total goofball and he is a great missionary!

We also moved a family into our area on Thursday! They are not members but they have a friend who is and he requested our help! One of the family members was very cool! He was very friendly and talked to us about religion and his believes and how he respects us for serving God and bringing others to Christ.

Friday was very crazy! We were supposed to have Zone Training but we got "Parked"! (no driving due to snow) So we had to move that to this Friday. Instead we went out and shoveled snow!

 oh so fun... Shoveling snow is quite the work out and I am still sore from it!

AND I HAVE HIT 4 months being out on my mission!!!

On Saturday we joined the Priests over at the church and we played some sports! It was cool to do because one of the guys that came- just got back from playing for the Oregon Ducks!

 His last name is also Hunter! (Like my current companion) He will be leaving soon to serve a mission in Brazil!

Oh, and on Sunday we went to Young Womens!!! (the youth organization for the girls 12-17 yrs old at church)The Laurel teacher had us come and teach about the God head. So we went to opening exercise and its true! All the rumors and talk from the Young Mens group growing up---- the girls do get treats and gifts and their birthdays! We didn't get any though :/ (It wasn't our birthday) But it was very fun going in and seeing what Young Womens is like! (think YMs needs to adopt some of their practices)

Here is a picture of Elder Hunter and I after dinner at a members home.

I love you all!
