(Elder Slade)
To the best friends and family a person could hope for,
Not much happened this week. Elder Snow left us :( and now
it's just Elder Nabrotzky and I. We are getting along great though. Elder
Nabrotzky's incredibly talented at singing, and basically everything else. We
did recorded a video with another Sister singing Be Still My Soul (me playing
the piano) that was posted on our facebook page.
We didn't get in any more flour fights, but when we were
walking one day, we found a bottle of lemon pepper that I started throwing at
Elder Nabrotzky. It was really windy though, so I got Lemon Pepper in my eyes
as I chased him with it. It's also starting to get colder here. We have had to
wear sweaters basically every day this week. Looking forward to Winter, where I
will be walking in several feet of snow. It's been predicted that this winter
will be one of the worst in several years. Yay.
In my studies I recently studied the effect of
discouragement in our lives. Discouragement weakens our faith and lowers our
expectations. If we lower our expectations our effectiveness will decrease and
our desire will weaken. I've applied this specifically to my missionary work
(where there can sometimes be many things to be discouraged about) but it can
be applied to anything in life. This week, I'm going to ask you, try not to be
discouraged! If there's something you're striving for, go for it!
I love you all! Fun fact, one of my fellow missionaries in
our apartment, Elder Huang, has a Donkey Kong plushie that he's had for 9 years
today! He loves Donkey Kong. So it's his birthday! Elder Huang's super excited!
We are celebrating hard core today.

2. I bet Elder Nabrotzky that he wouldn't put a golf ball I
found on the floor, in his mouth for 5 minutes. He did, and I lost 3 bucks
because of it. Worth it though.
3. I bet 5 bucks Elder Nabrotzky he couldn't eat the entire
pie. He tried, but failed. He got pretty sick because it actually.
