Lessons, Snowstorms, and Ping-pong

This week were able to have quite a bit of fun.  The weather was actually really nice before Friday and then it just went bad so fast.  It has been snowing pretty much non-stop since then.  But it's okay because we have thick skin.  This week we were also able to get in a lot of good lessons with our investigators.  It is so great to see them progress in the gospel as they read the Book of Mormon and pray.  It makes me excited to be able to help them in any way we can.  And now we are really trying to get the members and our investigators and other non-members to have more chances to meet and to build good relationships.  This is where ping-pong comes in.  We had the first Nagaoka Ping-pong night last Saturday, and I thought it went really well.  President Rasmussen came to Nagaoka this weekend to do some interviews and to come to church, so he also played ping-pong with us.  Let me just say, President is a great ping-pong player.  In the end he won the little tournament we did.  He even beat one young man who is in a ping-pong club at school.  He's crazy good.  Lately I have had some chances to play, so I'm getting a little better, but President Rasmussen is even more better.

Well that was what my week has been full of.  Lessons with investigators, out of the blue snowstorms, and playing ping-pong.  What could be a better life for a missionary?  Hope next week will be good too.  Thanks for all of your love.  Have a warm week.
