Hello,
Smoked turkey and lots of potatoes>? Sounds like i really missed out haha.
Thats cool you got to meet Brother Morris, he is a really nice guy, he
told me this sunday in the meeting about the visit he had with you,
everyone laughed because the tree was still up, i was like heck ya it is!
He also told me i have a very nice mom, and i told him you bet i do. Well
sadly no i dont have a christmas tree up yet. I wont be getting it up
untill i go on exchanges with the zone leaders, but thats ok. Im going to
try and find some christmas lights today. Every in Detroit is so
expensive, its sad the small stores like CVS, Family Dollar, and Rite aid
take advantage of them and us, we dont have cheap places like wal-mart or
target, its unsafe here haha. ' I still cant believe its December 1st time
really is flying. Soon it will be christmas, and i will hit my 17 month
mark wow that sounds scarey. Oh and yes thankyou, i kept thinking oh I
can get a little more out of my shoes, but i think they are done for, i
want to bring them home to show you guys, youll laugh they are pretty bad
haha. Its crazy though these pair lasted me a year. If you remember i got
these last christmas, and remember the shoes before only last like 3
months if that. I dont know why my feet so abnormally large and destroy
anything that comes in its path, but i appreciate the coat, shoes, and
tree decorations that are on the way.
Well this week we had some interesting news, William the guy who was a
member 20 years ago, and wants to be baptised back into the church, turns
out hes already baptised, and he didnt get his name removed. So its cool
heavenly father lead back 1 of his stray sheep. So i really look forward
to talking to you in 24 days. I will try and get you the right time this
time, so I dont catch you working again haha. But other than that not to
much new happened since my last email a few days ago, im just trucking
along trying to find teach and baptise with all my might mind and
strength, i know i only have 2 years to work my hardest for the lord, so
dont worry im going to finish strong and continue to work hard! Oh yea
the explanation about my new companion from the spanish area in our
mission. Well from what i know and president told me, hes here probably
just 1 transfer with me. I guess there was some problems he had with some
girls in the other branch he was in, so president rawson told me im with
him to in a sense to help him be more obediant, so when he gets back into
his spanish area he will be ok. Since there is only like 6 spanish
missionaries in our mission, they end up serving in the same area more
than once and sometimes more than twice, and serve with eachother as well
more than once, so the spanish missionaries since they are around with
eachother all the time, have hard times staying motivated, and being
obediant. Which I guess i can see, can you imagine me trying to get
missonary work done if i was in a district with Shelby, Brandon, and mark
haha. They all become friends and goof around i guess. Thats why im
serving with a spanish missionary for the time being. I think its only
suppose to be 1 or 2 transfers president says. but I enjoy it Elder
Ramirez is a fun missionary and a very good teacher.
Well i cant think of anything else to say, so hopefully something
miraculous happens this week for me to tell you about next monday in
emails :-0 I love you guys and will talk to you later

New Letter From Scott
Hello,
Well i have a crazy story to tell the family that happened this week.
So we were contacting down Livernois On election day Nov 4th, its a pretty
busy street in our area. When we stopped and talked to this guy he told us
hes not interested, and when he said that like 6 guys walked out of this
building, and was in our way of biking around them. So then as we are
standing there this guys asks my companion, " Well arnt you going to talk
to me?" So my companion starts talking to him about the book of mormon,
and while this is going on theres a few guys around him and 1 of the guys
is a camera man. So i instantly thought hmm who is this guys, to have a
camera man following him on election day, i instanly thought he was
someone of importance. So this guy leans over and asks do you guys know
who this is? We were both like no? He told us this is Congressman John
Conyers for the state of Michigan. HAHA. We were both like OHH wow nice to
meet you congressman. Then the congressman asks us do you know who this
cameraman is? We were both like .....No..>? He told us that this is the
head film director for the Movie Sicko ( the one Michael Moore wrote) and
that he is in the middle of making another documentary. Funny enough he
was videoing us, I hope im not going to be in some movie down the line
from here, but anyways. So he said can i have a book of mormon, and so we
gave him one, and as well his campaign manager. He then preceded to tell
us that hes busy at the moment but to come back to his campaign office in
a half hour and that he wants to know more about the book of mormon. So we
were both like Oh yea ! we'll come back! So a half hour later we show up
and enter into his campaign office, and mom and dad its just like the
movies, those places are flooded with people running around with the heads
cutoff. So we go in and this security wont let us into the back where the
congressman is. We tell him that he wants to see us, and he says knowone
else can go back there. Then this guy comes out of knowwhere and whispers
in the security guys ear, and they let us pass. It was so sweet i felt
like a celebrity. We then make are way back and come to the congressman,
and hes like oh you made it! He then gets out 2 plates and piles some
chips on them and gave them to us and offered us some water to drink. He
told us its lunch time. So we talked to him and he told us after we eat he
wants us to talk to everyone. So he tells one of his staff, "go get me a
loudmike, our friends are going to speak to us".
I think when he said that i almost wet myself. Loudspeaker, I instantly
thought of a million things.... like does he want us to go outside and
teach the people with a loud mike, is he expecting us to talk about OBama
haha since hes campaigning for him, it was a lonnnngg wait. He then fed us
this really good pizza sandwhich thing, and it was funny because we were
talking with him and eating there food, and people would come up and be
like congressman i want you to meet my daughter, and of course the
daughter would be going out of her mind because here she is meeting the
congressman, and i just thought it was funny because here we are 2
missionarys who walked right in here, we walked right in with no huge
degrees or fancy service awards, ate his food, and visited with him. I
seriously felt like a celebrity, people were coming up to us, and talking
with us haha. Well then came the finally when he receieved the loud
speaker. He gathered us by him and they took pictures of us by the
congressman, "They said they wanted proof that they were here with the
mormons". He then yelled in the loud speaker for everyone in the campaign
office to stop what they were doing and be quite, then introduced us and
handed us the loud speaker. So we then taught about the book of mormon,
answered questions, and bore our testimonys to everyone in the campaign
office. They all gave us a round of applause, we shook hands and left.
hahahahaha Crazy story huh! The congressman now has a book of mormon. We
will have to tell Johnny he needs to go teach the congressman more, we
planted the seeds :-)
Well as well we are having a really good time. William that guy we found
last week, still wants to get baptised, and should be baptised in maybe a
month. As well we found this brother and sister who's cousin just got
baptised and are interested in learning more, we taught them and they love
the message. Hopefully we will be able to set baptismal dates with them
soon too. I really hope i stay here, transfer calls are this coming
sunday. I dont want to leave its been my favorite area so far. But if I do
leave im prepared to serve wherever the lord needs me. Well i hope all is
well, its getting freezing here, thanks so much for the gloves and the
hat.
Oh also hahah i forgot to tell you. The night Obama won was CRAZZZZYYYYYY.
I heard Gun shots all night hahaha. People yelling and chanting obama
obama obama obama obama obama obama. Cars driving up the streets with loud
speakers chanting Obama. But the night he won was the worst. We hear like
ak47's, rifles, i swear machine guns, pistols, i think i heard about every
gun go off that night. People in the streets were yelling and cussing like
crazy. hahaha it was a interesting night, i thought it was world war 3
haha. And it was funny because ever since it became obama and mcain,
everyone in detroit asks us "Hey Yall Votin foe Obama? Then on election
day it was even worst, they all asked us , Yall vote? Im glad Obama won,
i think missionarys would have been pulled out of the city if he wouldve
lost :-) Love you guys have a good week, tell everyone i say Hi.

Floobie Doobie Doo Song by Shel Silverstein
Thought this was funny :)
As I walk down to Bishop Street I met a girl who smiled so sweet
Now she was young and pretty too
And on a string she walked with a thing called the Floobie Doobie Doo
Oh the Floobie Doobie Doo now what is that it ain't no dog and it ain't no cat
It's not the doll with eyes of blue
I never seen such a thing as thing called the Floobie Doobie Doo
It had one tooth five purple toes sixteen elbows and a twelve-foot nose
You never see one in the Zoo
I mean a thing like a thing on a string called the Floobie Doobie Doo
I told that girl lemme take you home and maybe we can be alone hahaha
She said I'd love to go home with you
But I have to cling to my thing on the string called the Floobie Doobie Doo
Well I took her home that very night we talked a while and I dimmed the light
She cuddled close and the next thing I knew
Just as soon as it seen us in between us jumped the Floobie Doobie Doo
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
It stayed all night it stayed all year I never got to hold you near
I said sweet baby I wanna cling to you
But she wanna cling to the thing on the string called the Floobie Doobie Doo
Oh the Floobie Doobie Doo oh now what is that
It ain't no dog it ain't no cow it ain't no cat
It's not the doll with eyes of blue
You just can't swing with the thing on the string called the Floobie Doobie Doo
Well she cried and cried she wiped her eye she said farewell so long goodbye
For though I loved you yes I do
I can't reveal the love that I feel for the Floobie Doobie Doo
I never see her anymore she never knocks upon my door
And every night alone and blue
I sit and swing about a swing on a thing
I mean I sit and think about a swing on a thing
I mean I sit and sing about a thing on a string called the Floobie Doobie Doo oooh
As I walk down to Bishop Street I met a girl who smiled so sweet
Now she was young and pretty too
And on a string she walked with a thing called the Floobie Doobie Doo
Oh the Floobie Doobie Doo now what is that it ain't no dog and it ain't no cat

Scotts Letters
I'm going to start putting scotts letters up so family can keep up to date with him.
Here's the newest one.
So Britney Mielke was confirmed this sunday, and guess who did it... my
companion haha. Maybe one day I will be able to do a confirmation or
baptism, but oh well. Thanks on the congradulations for the baptism. But
guess what.................There is going to be another one now!
This guy named William approached us one night this week as we were
biking. He yelled "Hey elders!!!..... Fromt the church of jesus christ of
latter day saints". Well instantly my companion turned back because
knowone ever calls us that. And meanwhile i was stuck back at the last
light. SO when i got to my companion he was talking to him. His name is
William and he was baptised 20 years ago by 2 missionaries, but never got
confirmed. He told us that he was working a few months ago and found
inside a box, 2 books. One called "A marvelous work and a wonder : By
Legrand Richards and the other" Teachings of Jospeh F. Smith". He told us
that hes studied them for months now and told us that he knows that are
doctrine is true, and that all the other churches are in apostasy. We were
like wow! Well we went and talked with him, and we invited him to be
baptised the first time we met him, and he said yes i think i want to come
this sunday and then get baptised next week. haha. We were like well we
first need to teach you and you have to come to church at least 3
consecutive times. Its amazing he came to church this sunday and loved it.
Met with the branch president and everyone, just fellowshipped right in.
SO we are planning for another baptism either Novemeber 23 or the 30th.
Its amazing because i have really been praying lately that we can find the
broken heart and contrite spirit, and Bam there he is. Hes so prepared its
crazy. He probably knows the bible better than me, I learn alot from him.
So I am really excited for this, as well we have others we are working
with. I hope the lord doesnt move me from this area, Its totally my
favorite are so far. Well i love you guys, and thats crazy we are up to
15!.
You guys are going to have so many grankids, im at least planning on 8 of
my own hahaha. Well i love you guys and will talk to you next week.
Love elder whipple
Oh ps. Thank you so much for sending that package. Those gloves rock! I
can hardly beleive how cold it is biking in winter ahhhhh its going to be
a rough one, but with those gloves it should be better. And as well the
hat. You read my mind, because i had a companion last year that had one
just like it and i really wanted one, and didnt know where to find one. SO
thankyou so much, as well for the healthy bars :-). You know what i
rememberd the other day. I didnt have anyone for christmas last year, i
feel bad. Who did i have and who do i have this year?

Shrek, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were all having lunch together.
Shrek said, I've always thought that I'm the strongest man in the world, but
how can I be sure?
Angelina Jolie agreed. 'I'm told I'm the most gorgeous of them all, but
sometimes I wonder.'
Brad Pitt said, 'I'm pretty sure I'm the sexiest man alive but I've never
had it confirmed.'
They all decided that the best way to find out if their beliefs were true
was to ask the famed talking 'mirror, mirror on the wall' to confirm for
them whether Shrek was the strongest, Angelina Jolie was the
most gorgeous and Brad Pitt was the sexiest. They agreed to meet again the
next day for lunch to discuss their findings.
The next day Shrek walked up with a smile. 'Well, it's true.
The mirror told me that I am the strongest man in the world.'
Angelina Jolie perked up and said: 'And I know for sure that I'm the
gorgeous girl alive.'
But Brad Pitt lifted his sad, sexy face and said.......
'Who the heck is Scott Whipple????! ! ! ! ! ! !'

Funny :)
This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.
He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.
George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all."
Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.

Comfortable
Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home." The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less.
After buying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home."
The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, "It's just 99 cents a word."
Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word.
After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word "comfortable". The telegraph operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, "comfortable?'"
The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde. The word's big. She'll read it slow. - - - -("com-for-da-bul" )

I was laughing so hard
A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. Because both had jobs, they had difficulty coordinating their travel schedules. It was decided that the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address, and sent the e-mail without realizing his error.
In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who had been 'called home to glory' following a heart attack. The widow checked her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted and fell to the floor. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
From: Your Departed Husband
Subject: I've Arrived!
I've just arrived and have checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
(P.S. Sure is hot down here!)

Well, A Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato, which they called 'Yam.'
Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.
When it was time, they told her about the facts of life.
They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots
Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato out of her!
But on the other hand she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either.
She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.
When she went off to Europe , Mr and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland
And the greasy guys from France called the French Fries. And when she went out west, to watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.
Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with those high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say, 'Frito Lay.'
Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University ) so that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips.
But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home and announced she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.
Tom Brokaw!
Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset.
They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw, because he's just......
Are you ready for this?
Are you sure?

Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.
When it was time, they told her about the facts of life.
They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots
Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato out of her!
But on the other hand she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either.
She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.
When she went off to Europe , Mr and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland
And the greasy guys from France called the French Fries. And when she went out west, to watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother.
The first said, "I built a big house for our Mother." The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You remember how Mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can't see very well any more. I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took Elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it."
Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Milton," she wrote one son, "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."
"Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel any more. My eyesight isn't what it used to be. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!"
"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "you have the good sense to know what your Mother likes. The chicken was delicious!"

I saw this when I was browsing for pictures to put on the blog and thought it was pretty funny. Sure hope I'm not on the naughty list.
If you find funny pictures that would be fun to put on the blog email them to craftychic42@gmail.com and I'll post them.
I did this blog because everyone in my family has a blog now except for my brother Scott who is on a mission. Scott I know you can look at this site, but this is for you :) Scott is the original founder of Floobie Day.
