"Many are cold! But FEW are FROZEN!"


us and the assistants/other YSA missionaries (larsen and marsh) after Zone training meeting


well.....there is frost on the inside of our apartment windows!!!! HOW??? I have no idea !hahahaha Its really really really really really really cold! Negatives!!!! Negatives!!!! WHAT THE!!!!! hahaha thats okay! the field...truly truly is white here in Wisconsin! hahaa
    Well its been quite the week!!!!! Sister Tenney and I locked our keys in the apartment! That was a fun little adventure! 
     Something that was SO great was I brought Sister Decker (Layton,UT) here on exchanges and we did service at a home for memory loss/dimentia patients! We helped them play bingo! they just can't for themselves! IT WAS SO FUN! hahahaha I kept putting chips down and they would take them off and hide them from me! They were so sweet! Grandma kisses and laughs! It was the best day! 
      We found a man on the bus! Started talkin to him about his son who is training to become a nurse! and i told him that i am a certified EMT (which really means nothing,,,,,but it sounds kinda cool...... hahaha) and so he wanted to talk to him...come to find out this guy has cancer and cant drive and tahts why he takes the bus! and his faith is struggling!!!!! I showed him the book of mormon and told him "you know...it sounds crazy that a book could help you...BUT IT CAN!" So we got his number and told him to read it! we will see how it goes!
      Its just evidence to me! OBVIOUSLY there is a spirit about the book of mormon.....people want to take it when we explain it! do they always read it? no way! but the interest is there and thats because as humans we are NATURALLY interested in truth and finding it! the book of mormon contains nothing but truth! So happy i have several copies in my bag! :) WHAT A PRIVLEGE to carry such a precious gift from God!
      well sister Tenney and I are just happy as canned tuna! don't ask me what that means.........we love working together and love working with these wards!
     We gave a training to several missionaries at our Zone training meeting! It was great! it was on "Teaching Repentance and baptizing converts!" we talked about the "Woman at the well" and how she was weighed down by sin! and Christ offered her relief! if you think about it! THAT WOMAN WAS SO WEIGHED DOWN! She had to carry the water pitcher back and forth and back and forth day after day after day! So for someone to offer her living water, that she would thirst no more was a big deal! Thats what repentance does! offers us relief! Quenches our spiritual "thirst!"
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
