hey family. this week has slowed down a little bit. not much, but a little bit. we've still been moving cars all around the mission. halfway through the month and we finally have our own car. we got 4 new 09 chevy mailbus that we've been trading with people for their old cars so we can sell them. one car we had to take to macon, which is about 2 1/2 or 3 hours away. it's north of boonville. we also had to pick up some furniture in St. Peters and take it to mt. vernon, IL which is a good 2 1/2 hours as well. we've done a lot of traveling.
i did get to see alex last week, and he is still doing pretty good. he is still a zone leader in the cape girardeau zone. almost a month ago he hit a raccoon while he was driving and it broke out the bottom grill of his car, so we're working on getting that fixed up. we also have to get all the cars for sale fixed up with the body work before we sell them. i then have to call the insurance company to open a claim for them to pay for it. its really not my favorite. i think you know i'm not one for talking with people on the phone.
we had my first real teaching appointment in this area this week. we're teaching a kid named Andrew who is 17. he is really solid and is almost ready for baptism. there are a couple things stopping him, and we dont know what it is, but president turley knows. president will be talking to andrew today to see if he can help in any way. last week at church he came up to us all excited because he had his own set of scriptures that he bought at the temple and had his name embossed on the quad.
on saturday, it got really cold and started snowing. just a little flurry, nothing big. it didnt even stick on the ground. but we were out raking leaves for a recent convert. the conversion story for this family is amazing. one day, he took his family on a drive, and went to the temple. he was feeling pretty troubled, didnt know what to do or where to go, but he ended up in the temple. he talked to the person at the desk and said "what do i do to join your church?" they got the temple president, and he explained that he needed to be taught by the missionaries. a few weeks later, their family was baptized and since then, they have had a little boy, who they named Angelo Moroni Frazer. anyway, we spent 4 hours raking leaves and filled 28 bags of leaves. i'll send a picture of that. i'm also sending a picture of St. Louis as we were passing over the Mississippi River on the freeway.
we had our president interviews the other day. sounds like i'll be staying in the office until the end of next transfer, which is about the middle of January. then i'll be sent to my last area from there. by the way, i hit 18 months yesterday!!!! only 6 left! also, it's just over a month till i get to call home again.
well, i guess that's about it. make sure to get some good hockey videos you can send me. since we dont really get p-days because we're so busy, i only email at the office, so i dont get to see the blog or anything. i did appreciate the video on the camera.
love you much!
