This week was very great so Mon. We had to travel up to North Platte where we met up with the Zone Leaders and the other Elders there so Elders Postma, Clark. From there we left to go to Grand Island where we would spend the night so we left we had a 2 and a half hour drive but since it was our P-day we had to make one stop Can you guess where???? Well of cores it had to be the best store ever still stumped well it was Cabela's which was in Kearny which as on our way to Grand Island and since we were there we had to buy something so I got a 1,000 Piece puzzle. The other guys got knifes now you have to guess what my companion got??? I would bet I have you stumped again he got reversible Camo Open Country with 3-D seclude the other side is Snow Open Country it is sick but we quickly made our way from there to Grand Island where we stayed with Kesler and Call. Tues We got up at 5 in the morning we all got dressed and ready for our trip into Lincoln Where we would be having our Christmas Zone Conference So we finally got there the meeting went from 9-4 was a long day we did have a gift exchange so that's why I got my puzzle I ended up with a package of 48 army solders I said I could use them to protect our apartment when we leave haha. But there was a lot of interesting gifts Stool softener, Golf club, Boxing Gloves, Blankets, 4 year old tooth paste, Mountain dew, and many others but after that we left there and headed back to GI where we had to wait for some other elders that had our van for going home so we didn't get to leave for a few hours later than we wanted but it was alright just made for a late night. Wed We went to help a lady finish some last cleaning of her mothers house so we made a run to the dump for her which was a heaping truck full even had to put up the seats in the truck to make it all fit in one load. we took some medal over to a Less Active who scraps during the winter while he is lade off. Thurs. We went over to see Bro. Teter who while we were there asked us if he could take us to dinner so we took him up on his offer he took us to his favorite Chinese place the Golden Village then after we got done we went to see the Magee Family he is the one who got shot his friends were all over so we just visited with everyone that was there they were watching a Elk hunting Video so we did talk a lot about hunting with them then after went home. Fri. We were trying to get Greg into the shop Saddle shop so he would actually do something for a change but right before he called and cancelled on us again so we went in and asked Jake if we could help him with anything but he had a few people come in and pick up some things or one guy came in and bought a saddle so after a while we found our self's just chatting about everything under the sun religion and school everything then we got invited to have dinner with the Magee family some of their friends ordered them pizzas so we went over had another good time with them they showed us the pictures of the animals his wife shot while she was in Africa. Sat. we had a few lessons we met the family moving in to our apartment building so we talked with them told them if they needed help to let us know we went to our appointment we watched the Joseph smith video with them after that we went to see Greg and his Friend Sandy this should make you Laugh so Sandy has a big crush on my every time we go over she says something ridiculous like how she wants to try on my overall's and that she is not afraid to drag me over her knee and spank me but anyways  we watched Mountain of the Lord with them which was good the first time we talked with her she really had to interest but after that she was asking us all sorts of questions and we were able to leave her with a book of Mormon which she wouldn't take the first day. Sunday we went to church  after we had lunch at a members house then went out looking for people to see in other little areas with Bro. Teter.

Well this week was great not as much excitement as last week but here it is so we went bowling with a member on P-day tried to get Greg to come with us but no luck. We went out with Bro. Teter it was good. We started a book group with a less active at his house we started with 3 and now are up to I think 7 people. Wed, We had a meeting in North Platte was good I we Came home and went out to meet a lady who got her gallbladder our she told us she didn't want a Blessing but went to a couple other people. Thur, We Helped a lady with cleaning out her mothers house hopefully for the last time its sad none of her family will help her out with it but we do so she is so happy to have met us. After we got through helping her we went to help a Less active scrap out some old Air conditioners we loaded them in his truck then he came back we had to take the compressor off of them before they would take them but we did he only made like $40 in that trip the next one he took was full of copper and aluminum where he made like $250. Fri, We went and help a non-member  we build some fence for him around a corn field so he can run some cows on the stocks a lot of people do that but since we wouldn't let him pay us he took us out after and I got a 18 once steak and my companion got a 23 once steak they were amazing then we. Then the less active member who got shot finally came home and we stopped and saw him he last a lot of weight. Sat, We helped a Less active family hang some Christmas lights then they fed us we had a great talk with them a fun fact their oldest daughter was Miss Nebraska in 2009. but learned a lot about them and none of the members thought we would ever get in there door but we did and She offered to do our laundry every week cause their kids are all our of the house now but they told us if we need anything to call them and let them know. Sun, We went to church we were going to bring Greg but he called and cancelled on us again he told us maybe for the Christmas party later that night but no go again so we stopped by and sang Christmas carrels to him but we did have 5 Non-members come to the party that was good and two are for sure coming to church this week which is super good he is going to try to get the Melchizedek  priesthood which would be good for him to have that blessing in his life. Oh Bro. Teter gets his priesthood and other blessing Restored in the next 3 or 4 weeks he is super excited as are we for him to be getting those blessings back he has been missing them since he has came back to church. Love you all Hope this wonderful Christmas season Brings you nothing but Great family times and a great joy. Love Elder Lott

SO this week seems like everyday had another crazy thing happen so it all started like every other week on Monday haha so we changed up our usual activity of fishing we went and checked out the petrified wood gallery. Was a neat place they all sorts or jems, Indian artifacts like a Bow they found at Lake McConaughy, and arrow heads and statues Petrified wood that was polished and then we went bowling we were the only ones there so didn't worrie about making fools of our selfs cause neither one of us has bowled for a long time.  Then we had a great meeting with Greg we read in the book of morman with him talked about how he needs to get back to work in the saddle shop. Tuesday Now here is where things get exciting so we got a call from Brother McConnell he asked us if we could come up and help him tear out some trees. So he can be able to put in a new fence in between his field and his neighbors so we packed up our things to head to north platte for a meeting we had the next day. So we helped him do that get his water filled for his cows we ate dinner with them had like what mom makes for Jam brades only they put spaghetti in it rather than Jam. It sure was good thought so after we ate we jumped in the car headed to north platte to play some Basketball the other elders play with some of their Investigators so we joined in was exciting I hit a kid in the mouth on accident and cut my hand on the wall I ran into and I even scored 2 points but had a good time playing. So after that we stayed the night with Elder Postma, Elder Clark only stayed up till 1 in morning talking. We work up to snow falling and freezing cold wind out side so we put on warm things and headed to our district meeting. We trained on Teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the importance of Follow up appointments and how we need to act when they are not doing the commitments they promised us they would do. and all so what we should do when they keep their commitments. Then on our way home we stopped by Bro. McConnells again helped him get another good section or trees pulled out and Headed home we had a dinner appointment with Brother Teter. So we ran home got chainged and went over to brother teters he took us to The Golden Village a Chinese place was good we talked and talked and talked finally Steve the owner told us he was closeing down we needed to go but we found out that Bro. Teter spoke Manderan Chinese was neat. So then next day Thursday we are doing are studys and for 12 week we needed to watch some of the district to our surprise we could not find our DvD player anywhere we looked and looked Cleaned around and looked some more we just could not find it. Then I noticed Hey my WATCHES are gone WE WERE ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! while we were gone for our meeting we had quite the day for a few hours we were angery everything made us upset later that night we found the next thing they had taken it was Elder Pancheri's VOICE RECORDER!!!!!!!!!!!! WHICH he had been using for his journal then we found the funniest thing they stole from us was you would never guess this but our HALF EATEN BAG OF DORETOS CHIPS THEY SPILLED THEM ALL OVER THE APPARTMENT WHILE THEY WERE STEELING THINGS ALSO oh it still makes me so mad to think about it so elder Pancheri to joke around will ask me Hey what time is it elder Lott. Friday we were suppose to have some service lined up for us but they didn't end up working due to it being so cold it was snowing and blowing oh and the Door Jam in our Dinning/ Studdy room has an INCH of ICE on it and things but we make things work any ways. Our service was changed to this next Saturday rather than last struday casue it was still freezing cold. Sunday we went to church and then we had to go to North Platte for a couple of reasons First one we were having dinner with our Branch Mission Leader the Next reason was we had a Christmas Devtional and The most importan reason was that Bro. Teter had to meet with the Stake President to interview him for getting his priesthood back so in about 3 or 4 weeks his blessing and Priesthood should be restored back to him which will be great for him to be able to preform all his duties and have all those blessing in his life again. Oh so the other day I had this lump in my ear lobe so Elder Pancheri thought he could pop it so he tried and tried nothing so then he thought if he could poke it with a pin it would help so he tried that he poked the front of it 1,2,3,4,5,6 times nothing so thought maybe its closer to the back of your ear again poking it 6 times this time he got some blood but noting really so my ear still hurting he decided to try to cut it out. Now don't worrie we had good sharp clean Butter Knife to use  so he took to sawing my ear lobe and now it was either that or the saw from the truck and if it wasn't for him being 300 pounds it would have been worse but he finally got it opened and all he could see was rushing blood. he had to use half a role of TP and finally he said this isn't working and lone behold grabbed the SUPER GLUE and started Glueing my ear back together it was a messy 20 minutes but my ear is fine no problems so far I can at least hear out of it so that's great. Hope your all doing well during this Christmas Season Love you all.LOVE ELDER LOTT!!!!!!!!!!
