HOLY COW THE CARDS ARE IN THE SUPER BOWL !!! It definetly is a win-win situation for me cuz this definelty is Steelers country!! But I will continue to rep the AZ and go with the cards. Someone was talking about the Steelers after church yesterday and I was bold and said go Cardinals and he was like "well, I have just lost my faith in the missionaries". But he was kidding of course. Oh, and I got my burritos and they are soooooooooooo good!!
So we had a great week this week. It was by far the coldest and one of the strangest weeks of my mission. I have been out for 7 months- holy cow!! So we found 2 new investigators this week on back to back days, and they are both named Sandra. We were able to see Mary once on tuesday and then, friday, saturday, and sunday. She is progressing so much. Last night we watched "The Testaments" which is probably my favorite church movie and she loved it so much!! She was in tears after the movie ended cuz the Spirit was just so strong.
We were able to find Bob's new house (he moved and didn't let us know where but told us the general area) so we were walking downtown and I had the impression to go to a certain place, and I knocked on this house and it was his. So that was cool and he really likes the Book of Mormon!
So we were busy teaching this week!! The Lord definitely blessed us with teaching so that we could stay out of the cold! It was below 20 degrees this week and it got as low as -10, and as low as -4 while we were working.
Thursday was an interesting day cuz we got stuck in a huge line because of an accident, which made us an hour late for district meetings. Then that night I locked our keys in the house and we had to call the land lady so after freezing outside for an hour were able to get in. Then we helped the Brickleys unload a moving van, that took them 2 hours to get up snow packed driveway. So then once we got started I was already frozen in the 5 degree weather, but we got it done. Then they took us to a truck stop buffet which was interesting.
Sunday we found out that Bro. Wick proposed to Misty!! I was shocked! I called that so long before they even met!! I guess you can call me cupid, or just thank the restored gospel for bringing them together.
Keep working hard in all you do because I sure will!!!
Much love to you all
