Thanksgiving 2008

Well today is a short p-day just till 1:00, then tomorrow is a p-day, so ya its cool. In the morning me and the other 3 elders in our ward are running the Turkey Trot! It’s kinda like the Pear Blossom I think. We get a cool shirt and everything that has a little turkey on it. But it’s 4 miles! I don’t know if I can do that. We will see. It will be fun! An investigator signed us up and paid for it all for us. The whole Plus family is doing it, so they invited us to do it too. It will be fun. Then we have a dinner/lunch with an empty nester couple at 1:00, then going to another member family’s in the evening, so it should be a pretty good day. I hope the food is good. lol But I doubt it will be like home, but it should still be fun.

Oh man, so there was a Turkey Bowl last Saturday, it wasn’t on Thanksgiving, but ya and they announced it in priesthood and said, “Oh ya, and no missionaries allowed!!! Lame huh? We were way mad about it cuz I guess like 2 years ago a missionary got hurt at the Turkey Bowl, so ya I was pretty bummed. But after the Turkey Bowl they had a chili cook-off, so we went and watched them play then got a free lunch. So it was cool. There was some pretty good chili and some really, really hot chili too, it was cool. One guy just had a full habanero just sitting on the top on his chili, for looks, and his was pretty hot. Towards the end he told me to eat this raw habanero, and me being me…said uh ok. So he got everyone’s attention and was like, “Dunns gonna eat a habanero,” so ya that was fun! lol At first it wasn’t that hot then after like 45 secs it was burning! lol It was pretty intense. It was fun. Needless to say the rest of the day my stomach was mad at me! lol It was fun though.

Well I better get going we have a lesson with a member at two with these two single moms and their kids so it should be a good first lesson.

Love you all. Eat a turkey leg and tackle someone in the mud for me!

P-Day

Hey there! So ya my week was good, uhh let’s see, nothing too exciting that I can think of right now, just doing missionary work. lol Every time me and my companion, Elder Luce, finish an appointment or something and he asks what we are going to do now, I say uhh I don’t know I was thinking of doing some missionary work, then he hits me. lol It’s cool.

But lets see well today (P-Day) we played some early morning racket ball, that was cool. I think I could take you Dad! lol Then after study we went and played some ultimate Frisbee. It was cool and really really tiring. It was like seventy degrees today, it was crazy! Hey it snowed on Friday. Just a few inches but it was cool. Then we had haircut appts at this beauty school in downtown Denver that a member owns, so missionaries get free haircuts. But I guess we made reservations at the wrong place. lol So ya we went all the way downtown for nothing, so now we are getting them on Friday.

To answer your questions, I can view pics on here but not too sure if I can print them out. Some libraries I think I can and others I can’t, and yes I got the money thanks mom! Gma and Gpa wrote me and sent some pics of there new horses so that was cool and they threw in 40 bucks too!! Cool cuz lets see I have 21 dollars to last me the rest of the month. lol But I should be fine, all I need are the essentials Ramen and cereal. lol But all is well out here in Denver. Oh clothes, lets see I think I should be ok on shirts for the time being and I think you could send out that other suit, that would be cool, I guess I could use another pair of pants. I only really wear one pair right now, the ones that lady bought me my first transfer. lol But they’re 32's and way big so ya and ties are always awesome, you can never have enough ties. lol But on everything else I think I'm doing good :) Well I best get going. Love you all and hope you’re all doing well. ttyl

Dang

Dang, that’s pretty lame about the computer and stuff. Sounds like a big pain, but that’s good that you finally got it back though.

Dang that’s pretty crazy about Daisy, Ya I've heard that’s what it sounds like when a bunny gets hurt, but I've never heard it myself. That’s good that she is doing ok now.

Oh that’s cool you got to talk to Elder Craft! I really like him, he is a nice guy. We did have alot of fun times together, he is a good kid. That’s cool you got some pics from Brittney. She told me she stopped by and that Elder Craft might get you some pics.

Yesterday or uh Monday, I sent you guys a letter and I put in a whole bunch of pictures I printed off, so ya, you should get them like tomorrow or so, and ya I got your package! Thanks for everything. I really needed stamps and I already had some Ovalteen and hot choc. Really cool thanks a bunch!

Well I'm running out of time so I better rap this up, but everything is going good we are having a good time me and Elder Luce are going on team-ups with the zone leaders tomorrow, so that will be fun. Just for the day so that’s cool.

Oh man, someone stole Elder Luce's bike seat yesterday, pretty crazy huh? So we went to the bike shop and the cheapest one was 70 bucks, pretty lame! Well I've got 40 seconds left on the comp so I better go love you all!

The Right Way To Do Things

Yup pretty crazy about Obama. I have no clue about him or McCain. I'm totally in the dark on their ideas.

So ya we have a mtg with our Ward Mission Leader each week and go to the first part of PEC and give our weekly progress report so that is cool. It’s hard to get our ward missionaries to come to a lesson. Our WML is a really good guy. He is fairly new, only a few months with the calling and he is like 24. I think pretty young and he is recently married going to law school and works. So he is always really busy. But between all of that he tries to fulfill his calling, but it’s hard. So not too much advice. lol Sorry.

Ya the weather here has been beautiful, sunny and high 60's. But today it dropped and this week it might snow. Finally, so that’s cool. I'm ready for it, the only bummer is when there is snow on the ground the bikes and cars are parked, so it’s really less affective to walk around. It takes forever, especially for dinner cuz it can be out of our half of the ward, so like 50-60 blocks away. We will see how it goes and it’s really tough, unfortunately to find a ride from members.

I'm still in the same area, Crestmoor West, and I'm liking it. I would like to stay another transfer after this. And ya, Elder Pond, I love that kid! Ya we roomed together in the MTC. He is hilarious. We went to the temple this morning and him and Elder Bragg were in my session. I'm kinda jealous lol they are having a blast together. Two really cool cats. lol

But ya all is well here in Denver and I'm having fun and definitely working hard. Got to show my greenie the right way to do things. I like training a lot, even though it’s a struggle sometimes, but it makes me be the best I can and really push myself to be a good example, so its cool. I like it, I wouldn’t mind training my whole mission. lol Well I gotta go, we are going to play some bball love you all!Elder Dunn
