Sketchy Truck, Christmas Festival, And The Like...

Dear Loved Ones,
Well this week has been great!  On Wednesday I was able to go to the Temple and that was so fun!  Then on Friday night my companion and I had a somewhat sketchy experience.  (Mom you may not want to read this part)  So the Hermanas here asked us if we could help them teach one of their investigators about the priesthood and they would translate for us.  His name is Mario and the lesson went really well!  Afterward it was pretty late and we only had a few minutes to get home so Mario offered to drive us.  He doesn't speak much English so to get home My companion and I memorized "right" and "left in Spanish and that is how we gave him directions to our house.  While he was driving I noticed his truck kept on slipping into neutral.  I thought that was weird.  As we drove a bit longer we realized why.... His truck didn't have any brakes!!  He was shifting into neutral to slow down before a stop sign and using the parking brake to stop.  It was kinda crazy but Mario did it like a pro! haha  I remember him telling us before giving us a ride that "the truck was missing some parts."  Who knew that those parts were the brakes?  Haha It was a pretty awesome experience and I probably will never forget it. 
On Saturday we helped out with a Christmas festival in Huntsville and it was amazing!  They had a choir and orchestra concert that sounded so great!  I want y'all to here it!
Things with our investigators are going so awesome!  I am loving the people here more and more every day!  I can't believe that this transfer is already halfway over!  I am looking forward to the rest of it!  I love it here in Cullman everybody is so cool!  Well I hope that y'all have a great week!
Love you!
Elder Whetten
