Hello!
So this week was pretty good! Really wet the last couple of days though. Because it was so wet, and because of all the salt that the city dumps on the roads, my bike was getting rusty on a few places. That made me quite sad, because that bike cost me quite a substantial lump of dough. So in order to protect my investment, we went to a hardware store to buy some WD-40 to help keep things in somewhat good condition. But while I was looking at the solvents and stuff, my eye caught sight of a can that I've never seen before. It was a WD-40 equivalent that was made out of soy, and it said it works better than petroleum. So I bought it :) It actually works really well! It's just funny to think that soy is what is keeping my bike in good working order :)
Anyways...
Something else that happened this week that kind of confused and irritated me, was that my gloves and my beanie got stolen... at the church... during church... I don't know why anyone would want to take them, because they were pretty smelly and dirty (I was going to wash them today though). I guess they needed them more than I do. But I finally got something stolen on my mission now, so that's kind of cool :)
I was also told this week that I have eyebrows "like eagles wings"... I'm not too sure how to take that, but the lady that told me that was jealous of my brows (at least it's not one brow), so I guess it's a good things :)
We had a really good Zone Conference last week. One of the Elders that came out with me and that I worked around a lot in one of my areas is now an Assistant to the President, so it was fun hearing him give us an instruction. It was pretty crazy though. He went from District Leader to AP at 10 months. The guy is a beast :)
But the chapel that we had the meeting at was sweet. It used to be a Greek Orthodox church, but they went bankrupt, so the church bought the building at turned it into an LDS church. It's pretty epic. I think it's the only Mormon church where you will find crosses on the pews (The church just left some of the crosses hanging around :)).
The mission is going to have a mission wide Christmas party tomorrow (Christmas Eve), so that will be a lot of fun. Our district is going to perform a musical number, so we'll see how that goes ;)
I'm pretty stoked for Christmas, not just because it's a wonderful time to remember what Christ has done for us, but because I get to Skype my family. Woo!!
TTYL and merry Christ-mas! Don't forget Who that day is named after :)
Love,
Elder Roderer
