Shoes lined with the Spirit

Hello Everyone!

Its a snowy and cold day here in Indiana! That snow storm that came through on thursday was huge! On wednesday it was 73 degrees and we were riding our bikes and wearing short sleeves. And then the next day it just DUMPED snow all day long.

Luckily thursday is the day that we do our weekly planning and it takes like 3 or 4 hours to do. So basically all day thursday was spent inside. At like 6 that night it stopped snowing and we decided to walk down to one of our investigators apartments. Its about a 2 mile walk. So we hiked through the ankle/shin deep snow to his place and talked with him for a while and then walked back. Let me tell ya, I'm pretty sure my shoes were lined with the spirit because my feet were toasty warm and I was wearing my slip on shoes and church socks. Yeah and basically this storm shut down everything here. They have hardly anything to plow the roads so there were wrecks everywhere. The snow has made me pretty homesick though haha I've wanted to ski in it so bad!

  Oh last night we walked to A.C Coopers apartment (investigator) and we watched the Christmas devo. For some reason he has the BYU channel and he watches it a ton. Hopefully by watching it, it will change his mind about baptism. He's been baptized twice before and just doesn't think he needs Baptized again, but we're working on that. But anyways back to the Christmas devo, I thought it was interesting that President Eyring and President Uchtdorf didn't speak. But it was still really good and A.C liked it. We ate Pecan pie and kool aid after haha.

  So pretty much this week was good. Not having a car sucks but walking is good exercise and its easier to talk to people. Time is flying by super fast. Almost up to 4 months... holy crap. I feel like I just got here. Not gonna be playing ball today. The stake is using our gym for "The Creche" (nativity) this weekend and they are setting up for it. It supposed to be pretty huge. A ton of different churches bring nativities and set them up to be shown at our church all day friday and saturday. I sure miss everyone like crazy! Missing the snow in Idaho but a little bit of it followed me here to Indiana so thats good! Have a good week and I love you all!
