Loving the Country

Our week was pretty great... nothing like being a balmy 40 degrees outside! What could be better than that?! It was pretty slow.

Ha. Ha.

We are teaching a couple of 11-year-old girls, Kaylee and twin sister, Camryn. Their mom is less-active. They are super cool little girls! I love to go teach them because it's the basics of the gospel and their questions are all heartfelt. Last week they had some ducks pass away. We had just got done teaching them about the Plan of Salvation. They asked if they would be able to see them again. It is really neat! They are so excited that they can get baptized. We just have the struggle of getting their mom to church. They were going to come yesterday but they didn't show up. They said they had people come over. It was a bummer! We have another appointment with them this next Wednesday. I'm already stoked to see them!

It was also Elder Fakahau's birthday yesterday. On Saturday night we had the the other elders in our district come over and had brownies and ice cream. It was fun. I think he enjoyed it. It's hard to make things special when you aren't with the ones that love you the most.

We woke up to snow and ice all over the roads! We broke an ice scraper on the car! It was crazy! We had maybe 30 people show up to church. I got asked for the second week in a row to say the closing prayer. We joked...I'm 2 and 0. Maybe I'll go for all six weeks!  ha-ha

It was a good week, just cold. Hopefully things stay good.
