| Me with Sis Wahlen on a beautiful sunny day |
Sounds like you had a busy week! I am doing well, all
recovered from the flu and able to walk and

bike and do all I need to do.
The weather was extremely bipolar this week. It was beautiful and
sunny early on and then on Friday they canceled school because of ice. It
is supposed to snow tomorrow...I hate snow!!!!! Bur I will survive.
We are going to go by hand warmers today and I am going to shove them in
the toes of my boots since I can't fit enough socks on my feet and still get
them in my boots. Those gloves you sent are amazing. I love them.

This week was pretty great. We were able to see most
of our investigators and two of them are reading the Book of Mormon which is
amazing. The Book of Mormon is the key to conversion. If it is true
then Joseph Smith was a prophet and he restored the Church of Jesus Christ to
the earth today. If anyone is having doubts about the Church or having a
difficult time, I exhort them to read the Book of Mormon and to gain or
reaffirm their testimony of it. I have been able to gain such a testimony
of the Book of Mormon on my mission. I have grown to love it so much. In
my personal study I have been marking the different attributes of Christ found
in Preach My Gospel in different colors and it has helped focus and direct my
study. I have been able to pick out different attributes and examples of
how people have exhibited them and it has been a great blessing. You can
do it with anything, Young Women's values, the doctrine of Christ, or any other
attributes you wish to develop. I highly recommend it. I know that
if you go into your study of the scriptures with faith and with a focus you
will be able to better receive the revelation the Lord wants to give to you.
Sheri Dew came and spoke to the greater Houston area on
Saturday and we were able to attend the broadcast of her talk at the stake
center. On the way there we saw this dog on the side of the road by our
house. We all looked at each other and realized that it was one of the
dogs that has been on the lost dogs signs around the neighborhood. So we
turned around and pulled over. Sister Wahlen then immediately runs after
it, so of course I have to follow her. She is calling the dog but it
keeps running farther away so we give up. Sister Wahlen then proceed to
lose her shoes in the mud she was running in and had to go back for them, so
she was a bit muddy when we got to the broadcast. Sheri Dew was an
amazing speaker and I am glad that we had the opportunity to hear from her.
Sister Wahlen and I are getting along great. We have
been together for just about four months now so we know each other pretty well.
Our last companionship inventory was pretty funny. It was about 9:45 at
night because we wanted to get all of our weekly planning session done before
the next day. So it was late and we were kind of tired and loopy so we
made some really funny comments and faces and just laughed. I hope we
didn't wake Sister Canfield up. I am so glad that she is my companion,
she helps me to be better and to see where I can improve. I am lucky to
have her and hopefully she doesn't mind having me for a companion.
We saw one of our investigators this week and her daughter
is in Girl Scouts. We actually saw her as we were trying to see someone
else because she was out doing door to door sales. It brought back a lot
of memories of my own girl scout days! Also made me want girl scout
cookies. I saw that new cookie and it looks pretty goood and
non-perishable..*hint hint* Good luck with all the cookie sales though!
Sorry I won't be there to help out!
