Merry Christmas Everybody!  This week we weren't able to do much. It snowed only two feet and they said we can't drive for two days—a day for each foot…?  We had to just sit inside and do Facebook work.  But I do have a few stories to share.  This week we met with a member and after it was kind of late, my companion didn't want to go visit her. I said I feel like we should. When we got there, we started teaching Neveah, who is a less active member, and the only one in her family. Her mom was listening in as she was making dinner. She came over and started to say how she has broken a Jehovah Witness’s testimony and she said she could break ours too. A challenge is good, right?  She said for some reason she's going to read the Book of Mormon from front to back and mark it up and then present us with questions. So alright—here we go! Neveah said she'd give her mom $100 if she does read it by February 13 th . We will see what happens next, I guess that will be conti...

Hey Guys!  This week has been better than the last. Still homesick, but I guess  that'll never go away. I do know one reason why…I was loved and  cared for by a loving family and super friends that I miss and love too. I had it good at home—this is new and different and not a lot love and  care for me yet.  We had the opportunity to teach at Concordia Catholic University. We  taught about the restoration. Everyone in attendance all seemed to be  paying attention. We taught about the plan of salvation and drew it out  on the board so the plan spelled L O V E. I'll include a picture below of what that looked like. At the end when we offered our Book of  Mormon, 3 people took one! I also gave them our number but no one  has reached out to us yet… but it's the seed we definitely planted! We  have heard some strange ideas people assume about our religion.

Hey Everyone,  It's been my first week out here and it's been hard!!! I am home  sick a lot and miss my family and friends. This place is kind of a  sad depressing place and I guess you can't have success  everywhere. I just want people to want to hear what I am trying  to share—Not working out that way. First house we went to I  knocked and it was a nanny who was babysitting some kids. She  accepted a restoration pamphlet, which had our number on it, so  maybe she’ll call? Also, on the first day I felt impressed to go  knock on a door. He was not interested. I felt impressed to go  back with my companion and he said…”Did you forget  something?” and I just said that I felt strongly to come back (who  knows why I did?) He just said no not interested again, but at  least they will remember us. We've knocked on houses this week  for many hours and we shared 2 scriptures and got one person  who said maybe. Not the be...
