Snow Michelangelo
Not gonna lie, this week was a bit slower…
Now that 40% of the people reading this have left after that first sentence, let’s talk about what happened:
I got called out for wearing a skirt in front of the entire mission. Out of context, yes, that sounds pretty absurd, but it happened. And I wasn’t even wearing a skirt that day…
We got a bunch of snow! It was great, and during our lunch time, we went out to make a snowman. The problem was it was about 17 degrees outside, and after using your bare hands in snow for more than 6 seconds, it just hurt. So Elder Grace had some gloves, and he worked with the main body of the snowman, and I pulled a classic Michelangelo and got a kitchen knife. I began to sculpt his face into more of a ball, and then I whittled down his body to look more like spheres instead of chunks of snow. Quite genius, if I do say so myself. My hands didn’t get cold, and we made progress. Then people walked by and saw me holding a 5 inch knife in my hands and I swear they sped up a little bit. But you know, sometimes it takes centuries before art is appreciated, so they’ll regret passing up on an opportunity to shake hands with a world-famous snow carver.
We did missionary work. But it’s hard to make that sound exciting, when it’s more of a spiritual experience.
But it’s a good time out here in Woodward! It’s great to be a missionary. All of you who don’t get to teach people about the gospel of Jesus Christ… I feel bad for you. But I still appreciate you reading these emails. Have a great week!
