So we had 2 fairly unique opportunities this past week... Pretty cool stuff!
#1- We were on TV! Every year, the Fayetteville Ward volunteers at WCNY,
one of the TV Stations in Syracuse to answer phones on a Travel Auction TV show,
and we got to be a part of it! So we went, got some training on what we were
supposed to do, and then the show started! It was pretty fun. People would call
in, then we would fill out forms for their bids on whatever trip they were
interested in. Occasionally, it would show the calling center and we would see
some close ups of some of the members we were with talking on the phone with
people. The broadcasting part of me loved it!
Here I am backstage!
They also fed us good food, then sent us home with a big container full of burritos.. YUM!
The next day, (Sunday) after church, we went to the Liverpool Stake Center
for a Interfaith Celebration! It was crazy! There were about 500 people at the
church, 50 of which were LDS. There were Catholics, Methodists, Muslims, Sikhs,
Buddhists, Jews, and even Wiccans. We helped usher people into the Gym and gave
out programs. During the program, which was lead by one of the Stake Presidency,
everyone went up and did a quick presentation on how their faith respects the
beliefs of others, followed by a musical selection. Some of them were very
unique and some were really cool! A lot of the middle-eastern religions had some
crazy instruments!
Also, after the presentations, we all ate food. Needless to say, it was
good. Speaking of food, here's a good demonstration of why I need to eat
healthier food-a little girl in our Ward mentioned how all of the Elders have double
chins.... So I'm going to try to get rid of that.
But, as you can see here, it started snowing again! This storm only brought a foot or so to us, so it wasn't anything too crazy. But it did help me realize that I am SUPER ready for Spring. I can't wait! :)

So that was pretty much our week. We continue to work hard and haven't
found anyone yet.... The area we live in is really out of the way and hard to
work, but we have found a new apartment complex and should be moving in about 2
weeks.. As long as our application goes through. If not, we might be living in
the car that we don't have! ;)
It's also good to get a little update on Owego! I talked to a missionary
that had served there yesterday, and he told me that Elaine spoke in Stake
Conference! That is SO COOL! Then, he told me that she got up to the podium,
then said the Spirit helped her understand that her prepared talk wasn't what
she needed to say, so she gave the whole talk by the Spirit! I was so excited!
Kiry is also doing way good! One of his brothers got baptized a few weeks ago,
he baptized a friend about 2 months ago, and one of his sisters is getting
baptized soon. And, he's going to the temple in about 2 weeks... Elder Simmonds
is coming out to Syracuse and is going through the temple with him. I'm pretty
jealous!
Anyway, I love you guys! I hope you all continue to stay safe... One of
these days, I'll (maybe) have enough time to get some handwritten letters
out.... Maybe. Love you all!
