Sick Week 2.0

So yeah, this week has been pretty rough. I woke up on Tuesday morning pretty stuffed up and I didn't think much of it, but Wednesday I woke up and I feel like I got hit by a truck. I could barely breathe and for some reason my eyes would just water like crazy randomly and spontaneously throughout the day. It's been like that all week, and I'm pretty sick of being sick. 
So Tuesday we got up and watched Elder Lopez pack up all his stuff then at noon we drove down to the Hilliard building and dropped off Elder Lopez. It was weird, it wasn't like I loved the guy a bunch, but I have to admit I'll miss him a little. The apartment has felt pretty empty this week. We were supposed to have the car this week, but the sisters scrunched the car up a little a couple weeks ago, and the car people called in the car on Tuesday. They said it would take bout 3 days, and it's been six...it's not even our car week any more, oh well. So we spent a lot of time on the busses again this week staying busy.  
We had correlation with the Ward mission leader for the first time since I've been here. He's been pretty busy with a new baby and so forth. He had us and the sisters over for dinner and then had correlation. Then both the sisters and us went out and invited a lot of his neighbors to a nativity our Ward and other close by wards are putting together. We have a lot of invitations we have to give out before December 2nd and 3rd. I'm super excited for the Christmas season, not bagging on Thanksgiving at all, I'm super pumped about that as well. 
On Friday we went to district meeting. Our district stayed pretty much the same. Only Sister Parker left and Sister Warner replaced her. Other than that all the missionaries in our district stayed. Afterward I went on exchange with Elder Bingham in Huntersville. We had a good exchange. We painted someone's house a little and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows at a member's house for dinner. The next morning we found a Christmas tree in their closet and set it up. They are lucky, they have a full size tree! We exchanged back and Elder Richins and I had a packed day. We biked and bussed from place to place. Saturday morning was super warm so we didn't get any coats or anything, and just suddenly a super cold front came through and the temperature dropped a lot. We got to a bus stop and the bus didn't show up for 30 minutes. So we stood outside in the pretty dang chilly wind for 30 minutes in our shirts. Let's just say it wasn't very fun. The bus then picked us up and we got dropped off at the next bus stop. That one was 30 minutes late, too. So we had to wait another thirty minutes. Then the bus came and just drove right past us, so we had to get on our bikes and book it as fast as we could around the block to get to the next bus stop. We got on...phew. The busses are nice and all, but sometimes they stink. 
Yesterday we went to the group meeting for the last time for at least a couple months. The room we usually meet in has to undergo renovation, so they are stopping it for a while. It wasn't doing so great anyways. 
Anyway, the week was pretty good, excited for thanksgiving this week, hope y'all have a great one! Love ya! 
The Andersons sent me an awesome package, so I took a picture. The Andersons are the best!!
