The General Epistle of Samuel (temperature drop)

Another week is through. It has gotten cold here. It has frozen every night this week and throughout the day it is usually about 4 degrees Celsius. Normally that wouldn't be too bad but since it is so humid the cold gets into your marrow and freezes you from the inside out. Layers are the key to survival. And not being a sissy. 

We have been teaching a great guy named Ashley who I may have mentioned before. He is notorious for being late to appointments. This week we were supposed to see him at five one evening and then go to a dinner appointment at six. Well he showed up an hour late so we called the members and asked if she could give us fifteen minutes. She agreed and we taught Ash at lightening speed. We knew he smoked so we taught the word of wisdom in record time. We just laid it out simply for him and asked him if he would live it. We suggested that he be off everything two weeks before his baptism (20th of December). He did the math and realized this weekend would be two weeks. He thought for a moment and then agreed that he would be off of everything by Sunday. Sunday rolls around and he was off of everything so we taught the law of chastity. He is one of the most prepared people I have ever met. We are praying hard that he sticks with it and makes it for the twentieth. 

That is about the excitement for the week. We went to an all you can eat breakfast this morning now we are emailing then we'll buy food and then I intend to nap until six. We'll see how that goes. I love you all and look forward to hearing from you all again next week!

Love, 

Elder Dalton
