Hey everyone!

  This week was pretty good for the most part. Winters pretty much here already, it snowed a few inches on saturday, and its snowing right now. Im not excited for it to be winter, pretty soon my feet are gonna be asking me, when are we gonna get some warmth? Thats never good. But I do like the snow, just not so much the cold temperatures that Alaska gets haha. So  Guess who I saw at transfers? Alyssa! It was fun to see her again, shes been over in Valdez, lucky duck. Now shes been transferred up to Fairbanks and shes probably gonna stay there until she goes home in December.

  Weve done a decent amount of service this week, its been fun. We helped a ward member move a bunch of steel i beams and big steel pipes while it was raining haha, that was pretty fun I guess, took forever but it was fun. We helped a ward member in the process of re roofing their house, we helped get the shingles and all the stuff under them off on friday but then on saturday we went over to help them finish and it was snowing but they were still doing it anyways. But they didnt let us back onto the roof because it was too dangerous, one of the guys almost slid off the roof and the ladder fell down too and landed kinda close to me haha. We left that pretty early from that since there wasnt any point of us being there, and went and helped the meadow creek elders take some couches to the dump. We did some other service  stuff but nothing worth mentioning. 

  We saw Kate this week, shes doing way good. We taught her the plan of salvation last night and I got to use my sweet plan of salvation puzzle visual aid thing, I love using it. It went pretty good, it was good timing for that lesson too, because she told us that earlier in the day sometime yesterday she got the news that her grandpas getting pretty sick and isnt doing so well. But shes doing good, she came to the baptism of a girl in the ward which went awesome. So during the lesson she had a few questions about the baptism and she thought it was pretty interesting. She said she thought it was peculiar that the font was like a little pool inside of a room and that it kinda reminded her of an aquarium because everyone was just standing around watching the people in the font haha. So shes doing good still. We saw sister Hansen, shes also doing good, we were able to meet with her twice this week. we finished off 1 Nephi and got through 2 Nephi 3 this week.  And we were able to see Bill this week as well. It went pretty well, for the most part we basically just answered questions that he had and asked questions that we were curious about, to find out more about him and his interest level. It was good and hes pretty interested and just wants to find out the truth and see if our church is the one he wants to join and go to and all that good stuff. And other than those three people we just saw some less active people in the ward, so it was a pretty good week overall. And today I signed up for an anchorage library card haha, so thatll be good to have incase I ever end up serving in anchorage,

  Im glad you guys had a good week, and hopefully you have a wonderful fall break this week. Hopefully Avery and Virginia wont be too sore from their wisdom teeth being pulled.And hopefully Brolin gets some sweet pictures today. And for your questions real quick, we do get a copy of the general conference issue, the mission sends each missionary one. Its pretty sweet. Thats awesome that the Malawi branch that we went to while we were over there is now two official branches with so many members, those are pretty big branches haha, they need to make those wards. The yards gonna look awesome when youre done with it. And we dont make cookies or cakes too much, we just havent, we probably could though, that was a good idea after all. And the couple that was a referral from mormon.org, ya theyre not really that interested. They just went on a visitor center tour and enjoyed it.

  Well Im glad you all had such a good week, hopefully you have a great week this week too. Times about to end so I gotta go, love you guys!

 Love Elder Roney
