Everyone here is always telling me it gets so much colder here but honestly it feels the same to me. The food is overall pretty good until I get in a grimy house and then it is hard to choke down, especially when you can see cat and dog hair floating around in the air. We went to a less active member's house which was one of those grimy ones to share a message. When I walked in it was pretty bad. It was really dirty and stunk really bad. But luckily I found out she had horses and she had to show us. She had really small miniature ones as well as tall ones. I'll send you some pictures of them. Something that has been pretty funny and might make you laugh is that our apartment has been infested with fruit flies. We haven't been able to get rid of them. We tried putting an apple in a cup and then having them all fly in there, and then we would put our hand over the cup and put them in the microwave. We have tried all kinds of things. We were telling a member in our ward about it and she said that she saw something on pintrest about it. You just get are jar and put vinegar and soup in it and the flies fly in there and drown. We have finally almost killed all of them. There is one investigator that we found who is 35 and has been less active since he was 17, and he invited us over and told us how he was wanting to get a patriartical blessing, and also asked what he needed to do to get one. He was also telling us about how his wife is Catholic and also a professional softball player, and how he wants to have us teach her and also talked about being sealed for all time not just for this time on earth. He told us that he goes to bed every night scared that he won't be with his wife forever. I'm so glad that it is possible for us to be sealed for all time it would honestly stink to not have a best friend that you had on earth that you loved so much not be your best friend and be with you in heaven. So that is just someone who we are going to start working with. Well good luck with school I am so glad that I don't have to deal with that anymore. At least for another two years. I do miss ball though. I miss you all, keep being awesome!
Love, Elder Allred
