A hurricane for Halloween


Hi Mom-

This week was pretty interesting.  We had some really good lessons with a lot of people. But the highlights were these: We went to the ward trunk or treat and they said it was a "Chile and Chocolate cook off", I was like OH GREAT! Then before we went there Elder Rausch was joking around and said that we were going to be judges. Well sure enough we got there and yup we were. I just let Elder Rausch do it, it wasn't worth it to me, for obvious reasons. But this lady in the ward made chicken and dumplings just for me so i was able to eat without any worries hahaha, it was awesome! The deal tho was that we took her son who is really autistic trunk or treating. We agreed. Well he dressed up as a missionary so that was pretty fun. He read the first car a scripture and after that I just told him to tell the people to repent and be Baptized, and he totally did. Every single car. One person was like, I have already been baptized. So Randy told them to repent and be baptized for the dead hahaha. It was a very fun night. 

Then the next night we had a really good lesson with a part member family. That went really well. We also went to a ladies house to help her with some yard work, and she asked us to chainsaw some stuff. So sorry but that was before you got that email from President Riggs about no chainsaws, I promise  ;) and it was not Hurricane related. But then the Hurricane hit. A lot of wind and a lot of rain. But we did not lose power. We were really safe and everything is fine with us. But Brother Schmidt told us that it pretty much destroyed Queens and I just got a letter from the Langone's saying that Mr. Langone is in Queens. What bad timing. I hope he is ok. But everything is fine now. There is just a little bit of rain. All is well. As a joke Brother Schmidt got us Frankenberry cereal for Hurricane Sandy because its being called Frankenstorm hahaha. 

I LOVE YOU!
