hi everyone. happy birthday gina. youre getting old.
sorry i didnt write last week, i was pretty sick and my guts were getting rid of everything out of both ends all monday and tuesday, so i wasnt much up to sending an email. oh well, nothing exciting has happened yet anyway. another anecdote:
we were visiting this less active kid last week and he was messing with a spherical rubix cube where you make the patterns into hexagons. we got started talking about shapes and his brother said to try to make one into a 5 sided shape, and he couldnt remember what you call that, so elder barfuss pipes up with a "thats what we call an octagon, champ". so after laughing my guts out (remember the "that would be dutch" statement) i informed him it was actually a pentagon.
still not many people to teach here in westerchester. we are having success with hyrum (the less active kid) he comes to church now and we take him tracting, so hes doing super well considering he hasnt been to church in 8 years but this sunday made 5 in a row with him. other than that, its back to the grind in the white areas. im still not trunky, and im actually less trunky now than 5 months ago, which is well, but it makes me nervous...
hope everybody's holiday season went well. i havent come up with new years revolutions yet... and im working on the resolutions, but neither seems likely. if you set goals, youre just setting yourself up to fail, so i stay away from that kind of stuff.
im almost thru all my junk food from christmas, i only have another 10k grams of sugar to go and ill be done. and a bottle of orange shasta.
hasta next week.
