SNOWED IN!!!

January 27, 2014

Hey everyone I hope things with you all are great and that you are all FANTASTIC!!

This week has been full of CHILLY things:

Tuesday we got snowed in. Monday night we got a call from the AP's saying that we needed to stay inside because a) it was very cold and b) the roads were super icy and very dangerous. So we worked out in our apartment, had studies like normal and then the rest of the day we didn't do much. We played One in The Chamber: Nerf gun style! and man is that fun! We play 2 on 2 in companionships, which we should do 1 on 1. It is much more fun! Then I practiced my Ukulele and worked on my french. Both of those are coming slowly!

Friday was great! we had another lesson with our Investigator who is still on b-date which is so cool!!! He understands everything, and makes great comments and answers to our questions. He is so ready!!

Saturday we had a dinner with a family who gave us some tips and advice to help out with Brian our investigator. And he mentioned a couple of people who would connect with him very very well.

Sunday was very interesting. We had two dinners. One was at the wards seminary teachers house and the other was with a less active. for the first dinner we had a vennisine (i don't know how it is spelled but it is deer meat), potatoes, and green beans which were okay. They have the cutest 5 year old i have seen out here! He is super energetic like the 5 year olds and loves Iron Man!

At the less actives we had a cinnamon roll and 2 slices of pizza, and they turned out to be a pretty cool family! We did invite them to church and they said they will try to come!! :)  Now this is the interesting part: After our 2nd dinner, we got a call from some elders saying that they had a referral for us who turned out to be less than 15 minutes from where we were at. They give us the details of the lady that called. We get there and it is pitch black, very creepy neighborhood, and the house lights are all off except for the living room lights. We didn't feel very comfortable about the setting already but going to the door, you could tell something wasn't right. So, this little old lady opens the door and asks us to come in and chat for the little time we had. She explains the reason for her call which was that she was concerned for the living setting for her 6 year old grandson. In short, her son whom they are living with, basically worships Satan. So we had to get out of there! we did not feel good... We told her that because of the 3rd male rule we had to go... it was SUPER SKETCHY!!! :( 

That is it for this week and i hope you all enjoy you week! God bless you all!

Love ya!
