MIND is officially BLOWN!

18 Months

well Hey there
What a week Huh? can ya'll believe that its christmas time almost? I can't. time is going by way to flippin fast. It feels like im trying to hold on a rope dipped in karosine! its not working. It seems the harder i work the faster time goes. so im done working..... Ha ha JK i love it out here even tho its getting pretty daggum cold. Thanksgiving was off the hook. We spent it playing in the turkey bowl in the morning when it was 40 degrees witha chill factor of like 16. and then went home and took a 2 hour nap that felt ridiculously amazing. Longest nap i think ever. Then we went and hung out with the Rankin Family. We had so much fun. Before dinner we played "catch phrase" for like an hour and then we had the usual, turkey, stuffing, taters, dressing, rolls, etc and tons of freakin pie. It was so much fun. and then after that we created a band. its called "sacrament distractions" and our record label is "NO SHAME" ha ha Me and Natalie were playing Heart and Soul on the piano while mama rankin played the guitar, Neubert played the cow bell, jonathan played the bongo's, alyssa played the tamberine and then ben play the banjo. Its freakin tight and i will send you the link when they post it on the internet. i have never had so much fun playing that song. So i had to speak in church yesterday and ya it was on gratitude ha ha it was only 7 minutes which is lame but they didn't give me more time to speak but it went really well. Our organist is an 11 year old kid. he is freakin amazing. Gary is moving along pretty nice. he is gonna be dunked here in a couple of weeks so that will be good. but other than that we are still trying to fill our teaching pool. Just know i'm thankful for ya'll and i love ya'll with all my heart. Keep it real.

ONE LOVE
