So this week has been a blast so much has happened and so many crazy things went on but so many great blessing came as well so here it goes so for new years eve we thought we would have lots of people out side who we of course would be able to take with right no wrong, there was no body out side at least not as many as we thought would be out so finally we went to visit a Less Active member who was having a party at his place he had like 10 people over and man were they hitting the liquor hard we got there and the LA only had 1 beer but his friends were having shots and chugging CAPTIN then they got into the fire works so the big plan was to throw fire crackers at each other fun right to watch yes luckily no injury's yet. then the big toys came out morters and that was quite the sight the one kid was holding tube above his head almost caught his pants on fire then with the last one he put it in the tube UPSIDE DOWN but didn't say anything we figured after we heard the boom and didn't see anything fly up then CO-BOOM  it blew up like 10 feet in front of us our LA got hit in the face with a piece of the tube almost knocked him out was crazy. After that they were so wasted they put a fountain on his head and ran around for a minute. Then Derek he started offering us shots and beers we declined them but we did get to place 3 book of Mormans and he is coming to read with us now and he asks a lot of good questions about everything so we are making stride with him. We built some fence on Friday around a corn field for a non-member which was crazy with the weather out here one day its 58 the next 50 then 12 and snowing its crazy how the weather changes so much. We got taken to dinner by a guy who called us as he was coming through town we had a good time talking with him then as we were leaving the lady who was checking us out asked us about our badges (name tags) we told her then asked her if she would be interested in us coming over so we got her name and address and will be going to see her this week but we went Tracting in the freezing cold it was 4 degrees and with the wind chill it felt like -22 but we still had a good time with it. We got told a less active member broke her ankle the other day so we went to visit her and found out that she fell didn't brake her ankle but did after working half the day end up blacking out and had a concussion and did hurt her back but luckily work mans comp is paying for it which is good for her. But things are good I have set my self some great goals for this year to help me with the work, working hard everyday and looking for every opportunity to help everyone we see and meet Love Elder Lott
