Sorry to say that I don't have the package, yet! Methinks it'll arrive tomorrow. I know Sis. Aitken likes using flat rate boxes so she can stuff as many items in a box that she can. We did find a turkey last week, so we'll start baking it today for tomorrow's feast :) We're going to invite Sis. Aitken's Estonian friend Kätlin to come.
We actually had a snow storm on Thursday, but we we're inside a car and buildings most of the time since we had to go to Tallinn for Zone Conference. We rented a van for the day since we had to drive up really early in the morning to get there by 8am. Halfway there, the driver's music changed from soundtracks to some Fleetwood Mac, so that kinda woke me up, haha. Sis. LeDuc and I sorta jammed out quietly in the back seat to classic rock. Prolly shouldn't have done that:P Elder Scwitzer of the Seventy taught us about all the convincing evidence that proves that the Book of Mormon could not have been written by an uneducated young man in the 1800s. Also, we should use it as our main source for handling objections that people might have about the church. Our investigator Aili is progressing pretty well I think. We'll try to get a baptismal date for her this week when we meet. The best thing is that she has made good friends with the members, so they'll be a good support when we invite her to come unto Christ.
Last week, the landlord had some guys take away our fridge because it was leaking stuff in the back. The next day, they brought a brand new Whirlpool. It's so nice and big~ Last p-day we went to Pärnu's "mini zoo" which is pretty much a a reptile house in a basement. I got to hold a boa constrictor until he started getting tangled up around me so I had the owner hand it off to the other missionaries. There were lots of poisonous snakes and he even had an alligator too. Fun stuff! Sis. Aitken's been sick since Thursday so we didn't venture out to do much finding this week. I had to have Merit come be my temporary companion so I could go help at English class and game night.
As far as Christmas things....I dunno know what I would like! The problem is that I don't know what I need since it isn't freezing cold yet and it takes like 2 weeks for packages to get here so by that time, it'll be after Christmas :P I guess some blouses would be nice. Or maybe you could just give me some money and I'll go do the shopping. Sorry, I ran out of time for this e-mail! The others are getting hungry for some lunch, plus it's Elder Hortin's last p-day so we'll have to find something to do.
Thanks for the love and prayers!
Courtney
