It looks like my e-mail last week didn't get sent of. Good thing I 

type them up in Notepad and save them to my SD before I send them 

off. So, I have resent last week's email, and here starts this week’s:

How did my parents do to prepare me for a mission: pretty well, I 

think. I think what lack of preparation I had was my own fault. 

Certainly my lack of sociality was, and is, something that I have to 

overcome (and I have overcome it to quite an extent). While college 

did prepare me more on living away from home, I wish I would have 

tried to learn to make more meals from scratch, even though I'm 

having fun with my cooking from scratch experiments (unfortunately I 

haven't made wheat bricks or wheat paper lately, nor cake patties, 

but I do make cinnamon phlem every once in a while). One of these 

days I want to try making some homemade dough.

Not much work this week. Yeah, deer season has opened up here, but 

they don't get any days off from school. We talked to a lady 

yesterday and said that at her church, there weren't a whole lot of 

men in the congregation.

As for our investigator, Jennifer, the branch president has felt that 

we need to delay her baptism. However, he doesn't have the authority 

to do that, since the mission president holds the keys for convert 

baptisms. We went down to Winona and figured out what was going on, 

and we'll be back down on Wednesday and Thursday to clear all this up.

New change for Preparation Days: they're on Mondays, except when 

there's a holiday on Monday. Then, they're on Tuesdays.

It's getting colder here. I'm having to wear my coat in the mornings. 

I dunno exactly what the temperatures are, but I think Utah is a bit 

colder. At the very least, it's colder than about what Fort Smith was 

at this time (I was still sweating up until a week before 

Christmas!). So, we might have a cold winter this year. Luckily I 

still got my thermals!

Better get going. We still need to go shopping. See ya later!
