On Saturday we had a last minute idea to set up a table and give out hot Chocolate at the light parade here in West Branch. I thought an hour or two would be good to prepare, but nope we spent all day getting ready. It is amazing how hard it is to find supplies as missionary's, but we managed to find a table, a cooler, cups, and coco mix. To make the hot coco we boiled about 3 gallons of water then mixed that with 1 gallon of warm water. We thought one giant container of mix would do it. Nope we ended up having to go to Walmart and buy some more. It ended up taking 2 and a half containers before we had enough! We headed over at 6:15 to setup every thing and we ended up being out there until 8:30. It was freezing. It was 19 degrees out that night and I wore exactly what I usually wear out door knocking, but when you're just standing there you get way colder. By the end of the night we had frost on the table and the spilled hot coco was frozen. All that being said, we got to talk to a lot of people and they came to us!
Last p-day we weren't really sure what we wanted to do so we headed back to the apartment and I found some ping pong balls. We were looking for ping pong paddles but we couldn't find any. We were about to go to Walmart then E. Wise got an amazing idea, just use some small frying pans. So we played a couple of rounds of sting ping using frying pans. I can only imaging what the neighbors were thinking when they saw us running around the apartment with a frying pan in our hands and ping pong balls flying every where!
