Week 2!!

December 9, 2013

HEY GUYS!!! Well this week has been so much better than last week! Getting used to the routine, building faith, good stuff. We extended 2 more baptismal invitations this week, and one was really close to saying yes, but she said she'll pray about it, you could tell she was feeling the spirit after we bore our testimonies. It seems like we've got quite a bit of potential, so hopefully things will go well with everyone. As you forget about yourself and go to work, things get better.

           We got to witness a baptism on Saturday, which was pretty cool. It was the YSA sisters in our district, so they're in the same branch as us. Church was cancelled yesterday because of the ice on the road, but we got some good proselyting hours in. 

           Oh yeah, we had this insane ice storm of Friday, and since no one would talk to us on the streets, we went and pushed cars up this hill for 2 1/2 hours, it was pretty insane. Amazingly, there were no accidents on our hill except this guy that hit a pole, which was a miracle considering how much ice was on the road, and how many cars were trying to go up it. This one bus got stuck for a long time, so it was a one lane road with all these cars. kinda crazy. We were talking after about how we felt a little like the 18 year olds that helped the handcarts over the Sweetwater River, but luckily for us it wasn't nearly as bad, and we didn't die doing it. Haha so that was a plus.

            I hope everything is going well with all of you! My address is 2928 Burnet Avenue Apt #10, Cincinnati, Ohio 45211, and I'll be here till after New Years, maybe longer. I love all of you and wish you the best with everything in your lives! Thanks for all the support!! Love you!!
