Ice

Joseph's letter from December 9th

Hey family,

                  This week has been good but fairly boring. We have had some fun storms this week and so everything has been iced over. Tuesday we had district meeting and President came and did interviews. Our district meeting was at 2 so he could do as many interviews as possible in one day. It was a good meeting on finding people and getting them to keep commitments. After district meeting we had dinner. We then went to try and see some people but no one answered. On Wednesday we walked around most of the day to save miles. They have just started doing the miles weekly so now it feels like we have less miles plus we have to use two days worth to go to meetings and back. We contacted this referral for a guy named Michael. He was really cool and wanted to know about our church and what we believe. He lives in Southaven, Mississippi but works in West Memphis. We spent lots of time talking to him because he didn't want us to send the missionaries to his house and he kept having customers come in. Thursday we went and talked to a lady named Janett. She lives up in Sunset and seemed interested in our message. We are going to see her again this week. Friday we got a big ice storm and were told that we couldn't go out. so we stayed in all day and then went out just for dinner in the evening. We went to the Orey's for dinner. After dinner Elder Morgan and I helped Sister Orey untangle yarn while the other two talked to the kids. The Orey's are really cool members. Saturday we stayed in for half the day then we went and saw some less actives. We were told not to do too much because of all the ice. Sunday we woke up and the branch president called and told us that church was canceled. Then the district leader called and told us not to go out again. So we stayed in and played games with the West Memphis Elders till dinner.  It sucked not being allowed to go outside. We had dinner with the Greens and watched the Christmas devotional. It was good but shorter then I remember.

That's about all that happened this week. It has been fairly boring because of all the ice and the storms we have been getting. I hope y'all have a great week and fun with all your snow.
