Cold Weather, Safety and Sickness
Hey,
The weather has been good. I have been enjoying it, but Elder Areno has been freezing haha. He cannot handle the cold very well so we end up jogging a lot of places :'). We did get some snow and had a snow day where we were told to be inside by 1, so we just played games with our sisters, and some of the youth and recent converts in the ward. We walk pretty much everywhere, unless the sisters decide to grace us with the car. I'm very warm. C is doing better. She is in a safe place. Her husband we found out was at first going to be charged with two separate possession charges, and an assault charge, and was going to be bailed out on Thursday, but when his sister went to pay the bail and they were releasing him the DA came in and they took him back into custody, and now they have dropped the possession charges, and the assault charge, and he is being charged with felony strangulation, attempted murder, and assault of an officer(he punched the officer tha took him back into custody after they told him the new charges). He will be getting a minimum sentence of 10 years with good behavior, most likely more. Our week has been good. Elder Areno is feeling better. Unfortunately yesterday I was not able to get out of bed... I woke up and I felt like there was a knife in my stomach twisting around, I was a having a lot of vertigo, I had a fever, and I couldn't stop sweating. So we were not able to go to church, and I slept off and on for a total of 27 hours until this morning, and now I feel better, still a little light headed, but I have been drinking water, and that has been helping. Sounds like you guys have been having fun over the break. I did hear about the snow. It sounds like fun :). I'm taking care of my deferment right now online. It is asking me for an MTC entrance date what should I say? Or should I just call them? I just saw the package you sent when we were leaving to come to the library. I have not opened it yet, but i'm excited ;). Today we dont have any plans besides watch Alabama win the National Championship with our recent convert! I love you guys!!!
