Update!!

Sorry it has been so long since i have updated anyone on my adventures. That may be due to the fact that there havent been many super adventures. But life has been grand lately. My birthday was on the 3rd of this month and it started out with a sore throat and pounding headache. . followed by 3 hours of routine weekly planning:) Loads of fun, let me tell ya!!
  Afterwards we ate lunch and went out and got to work. Nothing super exciting happened. The weather was a bit chilly, but it was nice. Later that evening we went to a members in our wards house to inspect her leaking roof. After an hour or so, and with the use of our deductive reasoning:) we discoved the problem. Which we would then come to be the ones to fix at a later date.  After that we went to another members nearby to help fix a light fixture, and discovered a skunk underneath her house which would continue to plague her and us until this present time. Were working on finding a way to get rid of it. 
  We ran to REI to get a new bike seat for me (because mine felt like a 2x4) and we found a really nice one. .SUPER comfortable. But it was 55 bucks. So we talk to an employee and ask if they had anything in the back room that had been used. He leaves and comes back holding the EXACT same seat, (a Cannondale, by the way) and says, "This is all we got. Because i like you guys and becuse your good 'ole missionaries, i'll give it to you for 5 dollars. . " DONE! Tender Mercies. And the seat is still treating me well:)
   After we went back to our apartment to end the night when we had a suprise birthday treat from Cameron and Bethany Jacobs!! That was neat. So over all i was as fun as a missionary birthday can be. Plus a recieved lots of great mail from my family!! Thank you all those you did so. I love you all lots!!
    Since then we had our Christmas celebration with the Zone already, SANTA RUN, as it is called. That was fun. We got to watch Toy Story 3!! Fantastic movie!! And i didn't cry, for those who may inquire. Close! But no tears:)
   WE have had some really great lessons and have been trying to finish this transfer strong. We have one more week. Transfers are on the 21st!!! Right before Christmas. I really hope Elder Collier stays!! But he has already been here 6  months! So it look grim. . I will be praying he stays though.
   I am loving life and am just trying to beat this cough that has been haunting me for a few weeks now. . (Mom, the Halls cough drops were inspired! Thank you.)
   Other than that i am just gearing up fopr the Season!! Its so different as a missionary! But our great ward is taking care of us! I really enjoy this ward! And our ward mission leader is fantastic!!! Great family!
  Anyway, i am done rambling!! Thank you for all you do for me and the vast amount of missionaries out in the world!! We all love you all and your in our prayers all the time. BE MIGHTY!!!
