Moving and More Snow

Good morning!

     If it makes you feel any better, we’re supposed to get snow Wednesday, so I guess spring’s just terrible everywhere. We’re finally moved into the new apartment! It’s super nice, and right in town, we’re super excited! We’ll record a walk-through, later today. We shouldn’t need an apartment number, just 817 Pleasant st. 

     The Zone Leaders visited Saturday, and helped us clean out the old apartment, in time for the inspection. We went to Jerry’s, a pretty famous place in Paris, and I tried the famous Kentucky Hot Brown. It’s probably the most unhealthy thing I’ve eaten. Open face Turkey sandwich, smothered in cheese sauce, with bacon, and a tomato on top. It was pretty good. 

Well, I hope you have a good week, stay warm! I love you!

   
Love,

Spring? What’s that?

Good morning! We just woke up to snow, so I’m giving up on guessing what season it is. Our week was pretty good, we spent a lot of time cleaning, but also did a lot of less active work! We’ve made so many trips to Goodwill, dropping stuff off, it’s not even funny. 

     So you remember that Pumpkin Muffin recipe?  I’ve started making those, and taking them to less actives, and they’ve been a hit! Everybody insists I’m the “Chef Elder”, but I’ve made sure to let them know that the recipe is simple enough that anyone could do it.

     So we officially move this Thursday, at 12:00. I’ll have to make a video, showing off the new house, or something. Our new address is 817 Pleasant Street, Paris Ky 40361. Thank you so much for teaching me how to make those muffins, I never thought they’d be so useful for missionary work! I hope you have a good week, tell Dacy and Kaden I said congrats! I love you!

Love,

Staying!

Good Morning!

     Yep, Elder Chowen and I are staying for another transfer! I’m fine with that, honestly. I really like Paris, so I don’t mind being here a little longer. Our week was fairly slow, altogether. I was sick Wednesday and Thursday, and then we got a call, that we’re moving into the new apartment on the 15th. We spent most of the weekend cleaning up the apartment, getting it ready to move out of. This house is pretty old, so there’s been a lot of holes to fix, and a nasty bathroom to clean up. We also helped an older member get the voicemail on her phone set up, that was quite an adventure. I can’t blame her, but it can be pretty frustrating, trying to teach an older person to use new technology. Other than that, our week was very quiet. We didn’t have too much time to teach😥. Hopefully this week gives us more time. I hope your week is warm, and dry, I love you!

Love,
