Elder TR3Y in -15 brrrrr :)

"Do not delay the time of Rescue!" need I say more? NOPE! but my mom would hate me if my letter ended here so I'll expound a little. :)

Sounds like Stake conference there was great and Pres Monson is so good to quote:  "Some ask in silence because their hands are too tired to hold up." I also liked "Don't put off work that needs to be done now! Hasten the work means now, quickly and urgently."

 

This week was awesome we once again had an incredible lesson with the Cornetts! they have had the Book of Mormon for about 2 weeks or so and are already on chapter 14! THIS IS HUGE! the 14 year old daughter has note cards falling out with questions and commnets, the 12 year old daughter has post-it's with the same and is just getting it! the 10 year old son is awesome and reads even though it is a tough read. He knows something is special about this book! that is the main focus of this weeks work.

 

We shoveled 5 driveways on Saturday and it snowed 10 inches! It is supposed to be -15  (yes negative 15 high) with the  windchill next 2 days and it is terrible to say  that the 26 degrees enjoyed last night was warm!! ha ha... but we are having a blast!! Elder Cummins took a video of the shoveled piles but he can't send videos from his carmera... or we just can't figure it out... haha!

 

As for the weather and church attendance... some people make it an excuse. But we are trying to help the members get more involved in missionary work so they will invite investigators to come to church, then go and be there for support when the friends and investigators come! That way the attendance should sail! AND when you say some people freak with bad weather in California? like what??? some rain clouds and wind? HA!!!! but that's true... just so unbelievable now.  

I did get an email from Paula and pictures of the wedding and now pictures from her baptism! She is solid!! Parma will do well without me, even though I would love to teach Paula's friends and family.  I'm not here for friends and family deals :D  I am here to strengthen where I stand and then the numbers follow! :) I so love this work! 

Thank you for your letters. packages, the warm wooly sweater, the frankincense oil and love that I recieve from many of you! It means so much to hear from you by mail.

 

I don't have too much time today and this is probably the shortest email I have ever sent on my mission...gotta get the video feature figured out for next time or take some more on mine.

 

sendin' my love!!!

Fight the fight, stay the course and keep the Faith ;)
