P.S. Just trying out the toothpaste. Rest assured Mom! I brush those teeth! (We sent some new toothpaste in our latest care package along with deoderant, floss, etc. and Leighton's famous no-bake cookies. He always likes his Sister's cookies!)

The transfer has come up again. Tomorrow I will be getting
that infamous call from the District Leader. If I will go, or if I will
stay! To be honest I don't know what's going to happen to me. I
hear that there might be a stir in the Spanish Zone. Or I may just stay
here in Pickerington 2nd. Whatever happens, it'll happen, and I keep
on... keepin' on!
That past week was a good week. We were able to see
Ben and Amber again! Before we had our lesson with them on Friday, they
were able to do a FHE with the Trowbridge family. The Trowbridges invited
some other less-actives and members to come to FHE. From what it sounds
like everyone there had a blast! It's funny the influence it had.
When we went back for our lesson; we were about to talk to them about what
happens at our church services, and they piped in... "Oh we already know!
We learned about that at Family Home Evening with the Trowbridges!"
That's five brownie points for the members! They are
keeping their reading
commitments still. I am impressed by their zeal in reading! They
have a thorough knowledge of whatever it is when we come back. It is
quite impressive! I just hope they start applying them to
themselves. They are great at studying; now application needs to be
taught.
A funny story I failed to tell...
The week that it was 105 here in Ohio we had some A/C
issues. Nothing Radical. To preface this Elder Welch likes the
apartment to be rather cold. So the A/C is constantly pumping air to meet
his needs. There aren't ceiling fans in the states of Ohio and Kentucky.
Someone must've passed a bill, and made them illegal here... Anywho this
A/C unit had been pumping cold air into the apartment to keep us happy.
Little by little the temperature would go up, and not be able to keep up with
Elder Welch's demand! Finally I decide to pop the filter cover, and the
unit cover to see if there was anything obvious we could fix. There
was. The "Radiator" (Compressor?) was frozen over!
Literally! There wasn't any air flowing through the system, and the only
cold air we were getting was from this block of ice! For some reason we
had a blow-dryer. I didn't ask questions as to why we had it, but we
started de-icing our A/C unit! It took us a good while to get it
defrosted, but we learned a valuable lesson. Use the "auto"
setting, not the "on" setting.
Sorry I don't have some insight to my coming fate, but I'm
sure you all can survive 'till next week to find out!
Para Siempre,
Elder IpsonThe Great Ohio Columbus Mission
