Indiana is SO cold! I didn't expect it to be this cold! I'm all packed for New Zealand weather, and BAM 8 degree thanksgiving (with humidity)! Nobody wants to be outside. The people here are pretty great, they usually don't know which of the
3216549841 churches I belong to out here. They respect the work that I am doing for the Lord, but they don't want to hear anything. We got double transferred (both of us are new) to what seems to be the slowest area around here. I still have NO idea how to be a full time missionary, but I'm figuring it out one day at a time. My companion is Elder Anderson who has been out for 5 months now, but he hasn't ever been a senior companion, let alone a trainer! We're both greenies taking on a seemingly impossible area. So many people believe that the Bible is the only true word of God, yet they still have so many self conflicting beliefs about it. I have studied the New Testament enough to be able to point out flaws in their thinking, but its pretty hard not to Bible bash! I'm getting there though! My mission is President Cleveland, and he was the Fresno, and BYU basketball head coaches. Every analogy he has given to us has to do with sports. He is a great man, and I enjoy being around him.
I'll get pictures of stuff later...
The members here are pretty great. They love their missionaries! I have only ever seen ours once before! They feed us meals every day! This ward really makes a good ward-family. Thanksgiving is coming up, and as far as I know, we only have 2 meal invitations so far. they're expecting at least 6! One can only eat so much... Oh well! Because we're both new to the area and the roles that we are filling as missionaries, it has been interesting.
