Hey
Thanks everyone for making my b-day extra sweet. So this week was pretty awesome. It started off with the Gardners throwing me a b-day party. It was sweet. Then some investigators bought me some chicken wings (which I haven't had my whole mission) and they were AMAZING! Mr. B's worthy. It was awesome.
Other than that, The main cool thing we did this week was we got to help out with bishop store-house deliveries. We met in a church parking lot and unloaded a truck full of crates. Each crate had a bunch of food and products that a family requested. So we organized them into piles and helped give them to people when they showed up. I don't know if I mentioned but it was SOOOO cold! Even my companion (from Minnesota) said it was way cold. I had to go home and put on a few more layers. In the end I looked like an Eskimo but hey, I was pretty good. You can see by the picture how a person from Arizona (me) dresses in cold compared to someone who's
used to it (Elder Crook). Over all a GREAT experience though. People were so thankful and kind. To see the joy on their face knowing that they could feed their family tonight was a very good learning experience. It was kinda like a reverse Christmas where you give gifts instead of get. It was really really a great experience.
Other than that, we met with all our investigators and are getting everyone back
on track. So we're pretty busy. Hope you guys are all doing good.
I love ya all!
