Subject: "Weekly" letter to family and friends
Dear Family and Friends,
Hello everybody! Goodness it has been ages since I have sent a mass email! I'm sorry and I will try to do better! I will basically just go through all the interesting things that have happened to me the past several weeks!So Sister Meneely in our ward and I have made some cool connections in the past couple of weeks. I asked her what she did as a profession before she retired and she told me that she was a clothing designer. I then told her that I might want to design clothes someday and she just got so excited! She pulled out two big scrapbooks of her designing experiences and it was pretty cool! Then the next week she was telling us about how she has a grandson that plays pro baseball and played at BYU, so I told her that i was going to play ball at BYU and she almost collapsed! She told me that the Lord would bless me in baseball because of the time I have devoted to serving a mission; hopefully she's right!
The other week Elder Beazer and I visited a man we have been working with and he was preparing some liver to eat so I asked if we could try some since I had never tasted liver before. Haha I wouldn't really recommend the taste of it to anybody;) On the way back into town from his house we came up to a big flock of wild turkeys! It was pretty cool!
Two or three Mondays ago Elder Beazer and I planned a district p-day so we could all go ice-fishing and bowling together (Elder Wilkinson, Elder Merkley, Sister Park, Sister Haycock, Elder Beazer, and me). Elder B. and I went out on Lake Bemidji and hacked away at the ice with an ax for an hour and then once we got down 3 1/2 feet we decided to take a break and go meet the Elders and Sisters at the church. We all went back to the hole and Elder Merkley and I got the rest of the way through the ice with an ice chisel. We had brought soda and chairs out there and once we finally made it through the 4 feet of ice we realized the water was only a foot deep! Not suitable for fishing!
Last week at church we four missionaries were asked about 5 minutes before sacrament meeting started to give short talks on the core beliefs of the Church. I talked about charity and I think it went well. The Bishop's 2nd counselor announced who would be speaking and he mispronounced 3 out our 4 names! Haha!
Elder Beazer and I helped serve food at the Young Women's new Beginnings night and that was pretty fun.
Bro. Chessmore, Elder B., and I gave little Tyawni, the Chessmores' youngest son, a mohawk haircut while Sister Chessmore wasn't home and we kept it like that for a few days!
We had a huge bonfire at the Chessmores' and also cut down a 60 foot tree!
The past two weeks the temperature has gradually risen to the 60's! It's glorious! All the snow is gone too.
We had to switch cars with the Devil's Lake Elders because they kept getting stuck in the snow so now we drive a Chevy Cruise.
We went fishing with an investigator and I caught an 8 1/2 pound eel pout! And Elder B. caught one that had only one eye!
The Chessmore's goats are pretty stinkin' pregnant so I hope they give birth soon!
Last week we went on exchanges with the Bagley Elders so I spent a day and night in Bagley with Elder Wilkinson. He is such a boss missionary!
A few weeks ago we had Zone Training Meeting in Grand Forks and it was amazing as most ZTM's are! One of the main focuses was the "Because He Lives" initiative which starts officially on March 28th. Because He lives is an Easter video about how we can all be resurrected and come back to our Father in Heaven because of Christ. I exhort everyone to watch the video when it comes out on HeLives.mormon.org or type in #BecauseHeLives and show it to others. To get excited and prepared for it, watch the video that the Church produced last Easter called Because of Him. It is a magnificent video.
I love you all:)
Elder Adair
