Walking On Water and Bobcats

 Hola mis hijos


So this week it got to the double digit negatives and we have a couple ponds close to us. One night Elder Berber and I decided to walk across one, and we ended up on our stomachs but we made it across the whole thing. The ice was probably about an inch thick, no more than 1.5 in. While we were driving there we saw a bobcat, I am fairly certain that was my first time seeing one alive.

-  I broke our frying pan flipping quesadillas haha. It was a sad day. We also tried kielbasa for the first time in that broken frying pan.
- Driving out of our complex one day we saw a young toddler bouncing a basketball, and he bounced it straight into his face and started crying. Then the ball rolled towards us and I almost popped it with the Rogue. But it is ok because I didn't
- I got my DNA results from Ancestry and I am 45% Scottish, yes that is where I get my good looks from. I guess I owe some of that to my parents too. (more to my mom)
- Elder Berber and I have been playing shuffleboard a lot and of course I am winning almost all of our games, although I do not know if we are playing it right.
- Friday service was sad because I said goodbyes because I figured that I would be leaving this transfer. I got really close with most of the people there. I have especially gotten close with a woman named Erica who calls me her son lol, so the last day I yelled across the warehouse and said "MOM I NEED HELP". Gonna miss them fools.
- The pipes froze and burst at the Marlboro chapel so the building was closed and we had to drive 30 min to go to the Franklin chapel for church.
- Lastly we got transfer news last night and I will be leaving Elder Berber and going to Boston, like the city Boston. I hope yall know what I mean. So I am pretty excited about that.

This week was pretty slow. We had our normal lessons with Richard every night and he made it to church yesterday! So that was exciting. We met with the Fernandez family finally, and they are doing good. Daniel Ayala expressed that he only really understands the Bible which is so helpful to know. If he didn't say anything then we would have kept reading from the pamphlets. So hopefully now we can see some more steady progression from him. Ronaldo is doing good, the only problem is having him remember what we talked about the previous week. 

Next email will be from Boston. Love yall
Elder Caden Stockett
