This week has been amazing!!! Last Tuesday for P-Day we went to this park that has a lot of museums in it. We went to the Museum of Man which was pretty cool. We invited President Schmitt and he brought his 6 year old son with him. It was pretty cool, though some of the missionaries were kinda annoying because all they want to do is play basketball but whatever its all good.
On Wednesday we had MTE's (Missionary Training Exchange). MTE's are when a couple of zones get together and missionaries go with other missionaries to train or get trained. Me and Elder Fraughton both left 1st ward area and went and coached other missionaries. So I went to U.C. 1st ward with Elder LeMmon and Elder Hirst who is my zone leader. We were in Clairmont up by the temple. We had a really good day. Me and Elder LeMmon and Elder Hirst all got along really well and we had a lot of fun.
On Thursday I had ingrown toenail surgery. The doctor was LDS which was pretty cool. Elder Fraughton helped him a little bit haha just handing him things and stuff but it was pretty funny.
On Friday we went to the Mormon Battalion with Chris. it was my first time going through with an investigator and it was so fun.
On Monday we went on Exchanges with the zone leaders. I went to YSA Ward with Elder Yates and we had a blast. We didn't have a whole lot of appointments planned but it was all good. We got to go visit a ton of people and that night we went to FHE. I played pool with one of their recent converts, Toddrick. He is way cool. He got baptized like 2 weeks ago and he is already half way through the Book of Mormon!!! He really wants to serve a mission which would be way cool!!!! YSA work is really fun!
I don't know if you have heard about what the Church is doing for christmas this year but its a video called "He Is the Gift". We got to see a special preview of it and it is amazing!!! It's like the "Because of Him" video that they did for Easter except bigger! We are getting special pass-along cards for it and we only have enough to hand out 10 a day!!! The Church is putting pass-along cards in the Ensign and they are taking over the ads on YouTube on December 7th. The church estimates that 220 million people will see it on that day! Its going to be crazy!!! I hope you guys tell your friends about it. It has the potential to be huge and we want to make it even bigger!
I think that's it for this week. We don't have to much planned for Thanksgiving but we do have a dinner so it's all good :).
Love,
Elder Chris LaRochelle
