The Lost Herd

December 26, 2017
Well another week come and gone here in Regina, and a cold one at that.  We are at -43 as we speak.... and yesterday was the coldest Christmas in history here in Regina, so it was cold. We found out not to touch any metal at all when we are out tracting, not even the door handle. Sauni and I got a little frostbite on our hand from opening screen doors to knock. It’s kind of funny when it doesn't happen to you. Ha-ha 
Found 7 new investigators this week!  It’s a single mom and her 6 kids, and they are from Mexico and speak Spanish a lot during our lessons with them, but they are pretty great. The kids are 18-19 except the one girl she’s 10.
Spent Christmas day at one of the single mom’s places in the sunrise ward, Sister Rutton and her 5 boys that are 3-6 yrs. old.  It was a little wild, but fun.  Got lots a presents from the ward, we don't know what we are going to do with all the cookies and candy we got this week.  We made up a little Christmas present for the sisters in the district full of things we couldn't use. Things like ladies deodorant and lotion ha-ha then we put in a few odds n ends that we thought would be funny.  After we gave it to them they were feeling so bad because they didn't get us anything for Christmas; till they opened the present ha-ha I was a little worried they might not take it too well with some of the stuff but they thought it was funny. Other than that fun stuff this week not too much else has happened.
Guess I better tell you a bit about Elder Sauni before I finish this.  He's from American Samoa (not sure if that's the correct way to spell it but oh well) he’s 25 and was shooting to do boxing in the Olympics before he came out here.  Got some pretty sweet tats on his arms.
Well love ya all talk to ya next week! 
Got stuff from you, Nelson G parents, Aunty Jane, ward members, and Brit Blackmore.

 
I am super tired, I think....?  I feel like my eyes are and look tired but my body keeps moving.
Just about to go tract in -38!! Got to bring the lost herd into the barn, they are out there. Where we know not, but we'll keep riding till we find them.
