Tornadoes, Christmas and Bathtubs

Hey Y'all,

Final Christmas in the FTM!  Crazy to think that this is the last few days of 2015.  Anyway this week was pretty good.  We started off on Monday with a visit to a less active and his non member brother the McGovern's.  Super legit guys.  They took us to a philly cheesesteak joint and bought us dinner.  Super great.  Best part is the non member brother is opening up to us and will stay around for the lessons now!  Just got to keep nudging him in the right direction.  Tuesday and Wednesday were a lot of finding times.  Highlight definitely had to be with Dorothy Lee though.  Got dinner from her and she fully committed to live the Word of Wisdom!  She dumped out all of her coffee and threw away her coffee pot and gave away all of her alcohol!  That's what I am talking about!  Thursday we did a ton of planning and then went to a family's house for Christmas eve festivities!  I think I am fully prepared for being the jungle gym part of fatherhood after that night.  hahaha  We got picked up by the Harris' after and went and stayed the night with the Perdido Elders, Elder Peel, and Hildebrandt. (For those of you keeping track at home that is not one but two Christmas' on the mission with Elder Hildebrant!)  Partied until 2 AM.  Regretted that decision for the next couple of days.

Christmas was pretty good.  Got some very thoughtful gifts and a breakfast with the senior couple and some military personnel. Super cool guys.  Came home and made some cookies to give to the Kanupke's for letting me skype at their house.  Then talked to my family.  Pretty great ending to Christmas.

Saturday was a lot more finding time as almost everything we had fell through.  That is not the most fun but hey it makes for some good stories.  Sunday was just about the same as most Sunday's.  Hahaha So this morning we had a tornado spotted in our area and a member told us to take shelter in our bathrooms for safety.  This is during personal study so naturally the right thing to do is grab food, water, pillow, blankets and the scriptures and have a nice bath tub personal study hahaha.  I will leave you with that picture.  Have a great week Y'all!  Talk to you next year!
