So this week was rather slow though it wasn't too bad. Most of our lessons were canceled due to the new year celebrations. Also most of the people we teach are females and we couldn't find a single member to come with us for most of the appointments. Super lame but that seemed to be fluke for that week. That was rather lame though that left us time for some much needed contacting.
Random side story. Several weeks ago some one that we rendered some service to gave us too many apples from their small fruit farm. So I made an apple pie... It wasn't too bad except for the fact that I set the fire alarm off... Thankfully it was just because I did not put the crust on too well causing it to fall off in the oven and burn. The pie it's self tested fine and wasn't burned.
There is going too be a World Wide mission training this January on the 20th. We don't know much about it but we have a study schedule leading up to it. I'm guessing it wont be anything too amazing. Though it is still pretty cool.
We had a lot of snow this week, 30 cm at once, so we did a lot of snow shoveling. on top of that it snowed everyday. Finally! Snow! Best contacting ever! My back is feeling it but we received new mattress so that helps a lot. It's finally getting cold, the high today was -16, and the snow is still coming. Thankfully we haven't had a bad ice storm but the weather man has been threatening for one almost as bad as the worst one Quebec has seen. So we have been dodging the bullet here (or should I say the snow ball?Ha!)
We have a baptism coming up for the 16th! It was been a long time since This area has had a baptism so this will be good. Her name is Anna and she has been taking the lessons for a while. It has been almost a year since her first lesson. She dropped the missionaries way back when but she recently accepted us to come back. She has a pretty cool story though it's a little strange. Basically through her dad she found a company called Zija that makes special plant based products that helps your body. Anyway that changed her life and she is convinced that that was God sent because that's what got her into the church. Apparently the company is headed by mostly members. She is great! Aside from the slightly strange super plant deal, she is really committed to everything. She heard about tithing a bit but after the lesson she agreed to live the law just out of faith. She basically said that she could feel the holy Ghost in the lesson so she new it must be the right thing to do even if she did not like the idea to much. So awesome because her income is small and she still has a 16 year old daughter. Anyway time is short! Thanks for everything! Lots of pictures this week.
