Salutations from the North Pole!


Okay yall, I'm writing this email as fast as I can, because the rapid movement of my 2 thumbs is my only source of warmth from this weather right now. It is FREEZING. Despite the fact that I live in a snow globe now, we had a super awesome week, filled with northern lights, wet leaves, and Cheetah print blankets.

As always, say it with me, Business Business Business! We have had an outstanding, super productive week. Our schedule strait up looks like tetris. We have done so many things on the Facebook page behind the scenes. I legit smiled as I was using excel and sheets this week, like who does that? Its been super awesome and the page finna look pinch here in the near future. We also have been mad busy in the ward, and we've met two people that are of major importance. We met a investigator who has quite the past: Vietnam war, bar fighter, super scary dude. But he has a really kind heart and loves to talk! So we will see where that goes! And we met a couple and the husband has been taught for 45 years! Since fire was discovered! So not sure what we will do differently🤷‍♂️ but we be prayin. Other than that, a really productive week, just a lot of Facebook tingz.

When it pertains to rando things this week, its been pretty fun! We had exchanges up in Billings again, so I spent all day raking wet leaves in the rain/hail/snow. Kinda not worth the trip, but it was good still. It's hard to do much here when there is snow everywhere. We did see a glimpse of the northern lights the other day, which was pretty nifty. One of our stellar ward members made us some cheetah print blankets to keep us warm🥰 So we are going to buy a lava lamp to really complete the apartment👀 Also had a bois trip to Billings, went to the temple, panda express, and some other spots. Its was nice to see stoplights honestly.


Other than that, just had some bomb meetings and froze to death. It got to 0⁰ so I've been dying. It's SO cold. Keep in mind it's not even Halloween yet! Our apartment doesn't have the greatest heating so its kinda a struggle for life and death. As I am writing this it is 3⁰ and "feels" like -15, so send help. Next week should warm up so stay tuned for next weeks adventures!

Quotes of the week:

-"Eggnog suicide pact"
-Don't roll your eyes too hard or you'll tilt the earth off its axis
-Yo quick shoutout to erosion 
-We need a zamboni out here for lake crispy
-Welcome to Alaska Airlines, I'll be your pilot for tonight
-How are the North Pole elders doing?
