More Nov. 2011

 This is the "super awesome quit-smoking-package" they made for one of their investigators.  This is what Ethan wrote about him in a letter:  "We've been working with Jerry on and off for about a month.  We went over there on a Wednesday to teach him the gospel of Jesus Christ.  He also had several Word of Wisdom problems, sow e decided to teach that to see how committed he really is. WE kind of assumed  he wouldn't want to give up smoking and everything else, just based on our previous visits.  Turns out, he basically told us he believes this is the true Church of Jesus Christ, he agreed to get baptized, and he promised to take care of his W of W problems.  When we followed up on Saturday, he said he had poured his alcoholic beverages down the sink, thrown out his coffee, flushed his marijuana down the toilet, and was working on quitting smoking.  And he came to church yesterday.  So Elder Hall and I were kind of blown away by him.  
So never judge people!"
 They were excited to be getting a new fridge!  And it's full-sized, not "dorm" sized.

 Ethan's "Preach my Gospel" book was falling apart so he put it in a binder.  "This is the awesome side I made for it."
