So this week was transfer week. I got called to serve in Eagle River, in the Meadow Creek ward!! I'm super excited, because I have been assigned to serve with Elder Hinckley. Elder Hinckley was in the mtc with me. We are going to have an awesome time.
Eagle River is just about a half hour from here, so I'll be able to pack my typewriter with me!
I trained the reindeer for the very last time this past week :( It was fun though! We were training them to pull a sled because Macy's department store is going to film a commercial there for Christmas. Click this link, and you can see us walking them. I look like a goof, but I'm warm! I've got my bunny boots on, a Vietnam hat on, and a Carhartt coat I bought at a thrift store for 14 bucks. Warmth.
I've really grown close to the reindeer, and they are comfortable around me. If you look closely at the photo I have attached, Raspberry is snuggling up right into me. I'm gonna miss them! Sister Hardy gave us all a "Reindeer Farm" hoodie! I'm super appreciative of that.
I honestly cannot remember what I emailed about last week, so if I said if I was going to update on something, I'm sorry. Because I probably won't update on it.
My brain is kind of cloudy today, I've got so much going on in my head. I still need to finish up packing, and I'm thinking about how great this next transfer will be.
This last week I discovered something awesome. It's called a scarf. Scarfs are awesome!!
I'm not sure if I mentioned this already, but a couple weeks ago Sabrina taught me how to knit. Apparently I didn't pick it up all the way. There have been piles of tangled up yarn laying around in our apartment. I get to a certain point, and the knots just get tighter and tighter, and I don't see any progression.
Well, I went to the Binghams to say goodbye last night, and they helped me figure out what I was doing wrong!!
I'm going to knit a scarf now! After that, I'm going to knit a tie! The problem is, by the time I'll be done with the scarf, it'll be July. But that's okay!
We watched the Christmas Devotional yesterday, it was great! The music was beautiful. I've decided that I want my future daughter to learn how to play the harp. I hope she consents.
We went to the Bakers for one last time as well. :( Sister Baker told me to tell my mother that she did a great job raising me. Brother Baker said, "What about his father?" She said, "Hmph!" But then she thought for a minute and said, "You can tell your father too. Mormon dad's are good fathers. I was thinking about Catholic dads." (She was raised Catholic) I also learned that Brother Baker around 200 guns. Wow. Thats a lot of fire power. I got the Vietnam hat from Brother Baker. It actually went there. Crazy.
Well thats all for this week folks!
