Fall colors

Hey everyone!
   
  This week was alright, all the leaves are changing colors and falling off now just like it is for you guys, the pictures look awesome. Ill probably attach some pictures from this week. Weve been able to see more people than last week, most of them were less actives but thats alright. So we met with sister Hansen twice, once to read from the book of mormon specifically and once for dinner and then we read more from the book of mormon. It was really good, she seems to enjoy it and she asks questions about what were reading and everything. One of her questions this week was about Nephis familys travels when they left Jerusalem, and she had some questions about the directions it gives. It tells us they went south and south east direction that they traveled and she asked us why it says south, since they probably didnt know directions by north east south and west like we do, so we were talking about that for a bit and explained that they might of written something like away from the sun or something but it translated into the kind of directions were familiar with. But im not really sure, I dont think that matters very much. so anyways, shes doing pretty good. We also met with  Bill again, and we brought our ward mission leader with us, they have so much in common, they could talk for hours if they had the chance. But he still had some questions about being more charitable and less judgemental and all that so we talked about charity while we were over there. It went ok,  We also might start teaching this girl named K...  We had dinner with them and watched a video with them and shes pretty interested in what we believe about Christ and Heavenly Father and all that good stuff. She was raised not learning anything about Christ or anything like that, and so shes pretty interested in our beliefs. Its funny though, in Australia they have super strict gun laws and its super hard to get a gun or anything so shes never seen a gun or anything until we had dinner over there with them. They had some other people in the ward, their basement tenants, eat dinner with us too and after dinner they brought up a bunch of their guns to show her and she loved it haha. So other than those people we pretty much just saw less active people in the ward and tried to see some poeple, then the sister missionaries in the other ward asked us to give some people in their ward in Chugiak a blessing, she didnt want anyone who knows her or her circumstances give her a blessing, thats why she didnt go to her home teachers or someone in her ward for the blessing, and while we were there we gave her daughter and another girl in their ward a blessing too.  

About the happy light, I can get them at costco here, so as long as I have enough in my account I can get one from costco.  (We want Ashton to get a 'happy light' to help off set  the lack of light during the winter.)  And Ill do that either today or next week or the next week haha. Were in Anchorage just about every P-Day, playing sports and hanging out with other missionaries, so we could stop by costco and get one while were down there.

  Thats a bummer that the subarus dying, hopefully Zacs dads garage can get it running again. Thats funny that Brolin wanted to bill each of us for gradually ruining it haha.  The chalk art contest would be sweet to see in person, the pictures are pretty sweet, I like that t-rex one the best out of the 3 pictures.  How many chalk art drawings were there? That would of been cool to see. The temple dedication sounds like it was pretty awesome too, it would be fun to get to go to one of those again. Oh and yesterday they announced that the Anchorage temples going to be closed on the date that our zones supposed to go.  And the date our zones switching to is after the transfer.   So if I get transferred I wont get to go to the temple for almost a year haha, fun fun.   Well Im glad you guys are all doing so good, hopefully the subaru gets working again and you all have a wonderful week. Love you guys!

  Love Elder Roney

Ill send some pictures next week, the computer wont let me send them right now.
