dear family
haha they had a ceremony for the sidewalk? 
this was a pretty good week! my companion got feeling better by wednesday so we got to leave the apartment. we didn't pick up any investigators this week but we met a couple former investigators who we are going to stop in on again so i'm hoping they will be interested. we went to addison last wednesday to help the sherrod's clean our their shed. brother sherrod shared some polish jokes he picked up in georgia. he also shared the "tankity tank tank" joke if you know what that is. if you don't, look it up cause its pretty funny. they also fed us hamburgers. i was so happy! lets see we also met a less active and her daughter. her name is tammy and she has had a crazy life and said one of her goals is to go to the temple so we will be bringing members with us when we visit her so she can get comfortable with them and then start coming to church! her daughter is really cute. she is 13 and she said something about wanting to be baptized so we will have to find out how committed she would be to coming to church and stuff if she was able to get baptized so exciting stuff! the former we met the other day was joe. he has had a crazy life. he used to be into drugs and drinking but he got himself out of that. and he was in a fire accident in the woods he burned 30% of his body! he has skin grafts on his legs and arms because he accidentally caught himself on fire when he was in the forest one day! he ran to his motorcycle to get to the hospital and the skin on his hand came off! so gross! but he was friendly and even gave us some otter pops. we left him with a plan of salvation pamphlet and our card and stuff. we're going back to see him but i really hope he has an interest. we also visit with these 2 older ladies. they are so cute and talk so much. we are there forever because they never stop talking! we have yet to get any gospel stuff in while we're there but we will keep visiting and then see if we can say something that will spark their interest.
i had kinwa (is that how you spell it?) for the first time the other night. yeah that's the weirdest food i have had so far so life is pretty good over here in that way. it was pretty good but i still don't care that much for the texture. feels like i am eating tiny bugs. we also got some amazing peanut butter chocolate pie though. heaven. oh and the branch is having a "fall festival" this month which is basically the chili cook off and trunk or treat combined and the missionaries are going to be the judges. oh man. i hope someone makes pumpkin pie. oh and yes i don't have my music cube thingy so please send that. and my gps. i hope everything you need for it is in the box...
what! lindsay is getting married?? i'm going to miss it! tell  her i'm angry she's doing it without me. whats his name again? and what what! connely is leaving so soon! this is too weird!! ha ya i emailed nick and he says he loooves it. wouldn't be surprised if he did move there.
well i'm gonna go now but have a good week! write lots of letters and send me food! please:)
love, sister quinn nilsson
