Cynthia

To answer some of your questions: Hey it would be cool if you sent that talk in CD and written, but that would be way cool.

For exercise we have a little weight set, a bench press thing and a curl bar, so I usually just do some reps of that and some sit ups. But we recently figured out that the elders that serve on the other side of our ward have a racket ball court! So yesterday for the first time, we got up at like 5:45! Gross! and rode our bikes about 3 miles in the dark and in the cold to their place and played racket ball. Then just stayed there at there place and studied and showered. They have a car, so they drove us to our area and then went to work. So that was really fun. We might start doing that more often!

No I didn’t do either baptism or confirmation at the baptism he had members from the ward do that.

Ya we do yard work and no, it has just confirmed my thoughts on having a rock yard. But I'm still trying to think if I want lava in the front and river in the back or if I should switch it lol:)

Well one thing that happen this week, we got a call from a lady a week or so ago that said we had talked to her one day while she was walking her dog and gave her a pass along card with our number on it. She said she needed some help cleaning out her garage so we did that for her. She said she had talked with some missionaries before. After looking at the area book we found out she had watched the restoration and was taught the first lesson, but she said she was now interested in learning more. She has it really rough. She is in her 60's and so is her husband, but her husband has a lot of medical problems. He worked on cars and got asbestos poisoning, he smokes a lot and has something with his legs where there are these sores all over them and water seeps out through them. They are always bandaged and the bandage has to be changed 5 times a day, and he sits in a chair. He hasn’t been out of the chair in almost a year now except when Cynthia, his wife, walks him to the bathroom and washes him and dresses him and shaves him. But he isn’t expected to live much longer. In the meantime she is left doing everything because he can’t get up. She is a pack rat there is stuff everywhere in here house! It’s crazy and she feels overwhelmed and sad because she doesn’t like to see her husband like this. So we went over and talked with her about what she knew and she pulled out her old Book of Mormon and we went over some scriptures and talked about opposition in life and Joseph Smith. The lesson went really well, she seem very sincere and interested in reading and praying about it, which is awesome! We have a appt with her next week, so that was really cool and we explained the priesthood to her and her husband and told him about blessings, so I had the opportunity to give him a blessing. That was a first for me, but it was a great experience. Cynthia is one tough lady for all the things she has to deal with. I feel bad for her. But ya that was a good experience.

But I'm running out of time so I gotta go. Hey I bought a jacket and gloves from Sports Authority last pday! I was just in time. It’s been getting cold the last few days. It was suppose to snow on Saturday but didn’t. But was definitely cold enough, it got down to 25 on Sunday! Crazy! Well love you all, and I like all the tenets there good!

Love
