CITY TOUR WITH TANYA AND TANYA

Early in December we had the opportunity to have a tour of the city. Two young ladies from the English Class that the missionaries teach are studying Tourism at the University and offered to take us on the tour of the city. It was interesting. It was a first for me. I don’t think I’ve ever walked around a city so cold and tried to enjoy the sights most of which were covered in snow. We were practically dancing to stay warm when we stopped to listen to our guides. The sister Missionaries were teasing that they couldn't feel their lips when they smiled. One of them asked me if I knew the first symptoms of frostbite. December 14, 2007
We were invited to celebrate Elder Lyman’s birthday with the missionaries at Tequila Boom, a local Mexican restaurant. There were probably 20 of us and when it got time to pay we didn’t have enough money so Elder Clark and Elder Kinghorn stepped in, first Elder Clark (the Financial Clerk) took over, we waited about 5 minutes for him to count and recount the money and Elder Kinghorn, just patiently waited to see if he could just cover the shortage. Meanwhile I found out it was the Sisters P day (day off) so we quickly made plans to go shop for new boots for Sister Jackson. I learned that they never stop being missionaries. We talked to people on the bus, on the streets and at the Reenick (street market). We even gave away a Book of Mormon.
