Hey guys!

| This is when it first started snowing |
Winter has finally started
for me. It's been getting colder gradually but this past week it finally
plummeted. At the beginning of the week it finally snowed, which was pretty
late for Virginia. But then it just kept getting colder. Today the low is going
to be about 12. Granted that's not as cold as North Dakota (shout out to my
cousin out there shoveling snow for everyone) but it's still pretty dang cold.
I really had to get bundled up this week and it was weird because we would be
outside and we were literally the only ones walking around. Now the cold did
help to get us in a few doors because they would say, "Just come in, it's
too cold out there." So that was an actual perk. It helped us get a new
investigator too! As we were knocking doors, this one woman let us in and
after talking a little bit we found out that she was in the process of looking
for the true church. She had had enough of churches because they all teach
different things and basically she thought they were all corrupt. Needless to
say we taught her about the apostasy and the Restoration, so we are stopping by
later this week to check up on her.

Hmm I can't really think
of anything else cool that really happened. We went to the outskirts of our
area where there is literally nothing but forest and then a random town in the
middle of it. It was kind of a slow week.
BUT we did have an awesome
experience with a part member family! So the English elders in one of the
neighboring wards asked us to come along to a dinner with one of their recent
converts. They needed our help because their recent convert and his wife were
from the Dominican Republic and she only spoke Spanish and no English at all.
So it was a really cool opportunity to go and teach them because he had the opportunity
to share his testimony and this was really her first real involvement with the
church since the other elders only ever taught in English.
So yeah, that's a basic
summary of my week. We also had our first ever multizone conference, which just
so happens to be my last zone conference.
Love you guys and talk to
you next week!
