Hey everyone!
This last week I was able to go to the center of Philadelphia. It was a fun ride on the subway. We went and saw all the places to see in Philly in a balistic blitz so that I could have seen it all if I go to Taiwan soon. I saw the Liberty Bell, Independence hall, the Reading Railroad terminal (pronouced red-ing), the Comcast tower and the world's largest TV, the Masonic Temple, City Hall, China Town, game piece park and St. Peter and Paul's Basilica. All of it was so beautiful and fun. We took lots of pictures which I will be getting to my parents soon hopefully.
This week I went to the King of Prussia Mall, one of the top ten largest retail malls in America. It was not bad for a mall I suppose. I am used to get all the looks in the mall because I am beautiful, but I think this time it was because I had a nametag in a wierd language. After the mall we went to an ice cream place called Zwahlens which was amazingly good ice cream made all the sweeter by the 50% off discount that missionaries get there. Delicious.
This week I want to do a slang word review, I think that if the support is large enough in favor it will become a regular part. This week is "that john" meaning that thing. Seriously, you can use john to signify any object or group of objects. I think it's pretty good. It makes me feel black.
We have a two sisters who we are teaching that will be baptized in two weeks. I am very excited because they are very prepared and very smart. Adey is 11 and Aley is 9. They have a great step-mom who helped us explain the law of chastity yesterday by saying, "this means you can't have any baby mommas alright?" I didn't think white women knew that word. Well, respectable ones at least.
Last night we got a call from President at 11:15 that we needed to go rescue Elders Thatcher and Reese because their apartment's carbon monoxide sensor was going off. We got to their place through the snow and back safely and took them home to our apartment. We got permission to sleep til eight thirty because we were back at twelve thirty. It was kinda crazy having five missionaries in one little apartment. We took them home this morning, but it was a fun little adventure in my life.
I think that's about all, remember to continue to pray for all things in faith because I know without a doubt that Heavenly Father answers all our prayers. Thanks for all the support!
Love,
Elder Siebert
PS So I have a little more time than I thought to write today. I don't know if I ever told you some of the funny things that have been said.
Crazy black man in the city, "Santa's got a gun!!! That's why it's called "X"-mas"
Elder Bessey, going to the bathroom with printer paper because at the time we were out of TP. Me and E. Bergloff were yelling to him to not do it, that we could go downstairs and use the lockerroom bathrooms. E. Bergloff, "Look what you're holding! Look at what you're holding!"
Elder Bergloff "I don't know why black people made a stink about the back of the bus, they always sit on it."
So funny.
