Since the last email I sent we've had about 3 feet of snow. Last Tuesday we got around 18 inches only to get around 6 more later in the week. Today we've gotten near a foot and I walked 2 miles in a near blizzard to be able to get to the library and send emails!
This week we spent most of the week shoveling snow. I have shoveled so much snow you could melt it all down and fill a lake with it. It's a really good way to meet people and show people that we aren't just a bunch of crazies with horns and seven wives though. So that's good. I enjoy it. Shoveling is fun.
Like I said most of the week was spent shoveling but when we weren't doing that we were visiting less active members. One of the less active members in our area, Sister Creon, is having a really hard time lately. Her husband had a stroke and she slipped and fell at the hospital and it left her in pretty bad shape. She is working toward attending the temple for the first time which is wonderful! We've been working with her and it's great to see how much she loves the Book of Mormon.
We haven't seen many investigators lately because we don't have many but the one that we have seen is great. His name is Dan and he recently lost his wife and it has been really hard for him. He is planning on getting baptized but he's not the best at keeping commitments. We fasted for him on Sunday along with the Sisters. He really loves Jesus he just has a hard time with the commitment keeping.
I would've sent some pictures but I forgot my card reader when I came here. So I'll get them to y'all next week.
I love my mission and I know that all things are possible with God on your side.
