I think it's safe to say that winter has finally hit Minnesota. It's been really cold this week and has snowed some more. I had to bring out my big winter coat! I couple days ago I wore 3 layers of tights when we were out tracking. Ahhh! Here's to a very long winter.
The days have been flying by with Sister Paris. Her and I have a lot of fun together. We joke around with each other a lot and she is really easy to get along with. A couple days ago we went and got pho together! I had never had it before. It's pronounced "fu" lol. It's pretty good! I think you would like it dad ;) The shooting in Thousand Oaks and all the fires there are in Sister Paris' hometown. Her dad is a police officer, but her family is safe from everything! Keep them all in your prayers.
So we met a lot of cool people this week. Tracking kinda sucks more in the snow, but some people are nicer and let you in! Wednesday late afternoon we were in a nicer neighborhood knocking on a couple people's doors before dinner, and we knocked on this ladies door and she asked if we were the paper man because he was running late today. We were like "uhh no, haha sorry" and then just introduced ourselves. She wasn't interested. A couple houses later, I see the paper man ride up on his bike. He was just wearing a jacket, no hat, no gloves, and no scarf. It was ***FREEZING*** outside btw. So I yelled to him, "Aren't you cold?!?!" and he came up to us asking what we are doing. He asked if we could come over to his house in 45 minutes. We were heading out to Kasson for a blitz with the sisters there, so we weren't able to go right over but we said we could come the next day. So we went, brought a member, and Craig, the paper man, just chewed us out like I had never been chewed out before! Holy smokes! He was totally drunk and kept saying that we "shouldn't preach the Hebrew God if we aren't even Hebrew" in between all of his profanity. So sad! I am actually glad we had a brother from the ward there with us because I felt a lot safer haha. So no more Craig the paper man.
Story for Joe: Saturday when we were doing some stop-bys, a great dane came out of nowhere in someone's backyard and charged at me. I just stood there, literally saw my life flash before my eyes, while this ginormous dog just booked it at me. I stood there frozen and he didn't do anything to me! So don't move when they try to attack you!!
I am really excited for this next week. We have a lot of appointments set up and we have zone conference tomorrow (I have to give a training, yay!) and an exchange with some sisters this week. It should be a good time.
Thanks for all of the emails this week. I appreciate them a lot. Sorry I am so bad at writing everyone back.
Keep praying and reading the Book of Mormon! Last night I got to teach Rigoberto about repentance. It was really cool. It really is the greatest gift that we have.
Because Thanksgiving is next Thursday, President has changed our P-Day to that day. So I will be able to email you then.
I love you, hope you have a great week.
xoxo, Hermana Nissinen
