This was a really good week. We have been hit with some really crazy weather. The last week was way cold. And then it snowed. The locals all say it doesn't usually do this. But it has the last few weeks. Then it turns into ice so nothing can really happen with our work.
Today was a blast! We went ice skating. Last year we did that and we got a ton of passes. I am in the same car as I was 1 year ago. There were still a bunch of passes not used in this car. Score! But that was really fun.
This week was a crazy one. We had a lesson at the temple with our investigator Jessica. She is getting baptized on Saturday ! There are usually sisters that take us around but they had a meeting. So she got a makeshift tour from us. Haha! It went well. It was really cold. Like the temperature was below 20 with the wind. On the ride back she hit us with a bunch of questions like 4 pages worth of them about 1 Nephi. She read the whole thing! We answered those and she brought up that it would be a financial blow if she got Sundays off. And we told her what she should do. She told us later that she moved not only her work schedule but her class schedule for it. She has a bunch of faith. She now will not work any more on Sundays. It was a way cool experience. Then we had a lesson with her later in the week and we were planning on going over a few of the major things she has to know about her baptism - mainly tithing. She accepted everything. And said she already pays tithing. It was sweet. She has a lot of family opposition so she is showing even more faith. She is so ready. So prepared!
Another notable thing is that this week we had a stellar lesson with a less active. It was a breakthrough lesson. He has a lot going on and has been wanting to change and he is really coming around. It is sweet. Then the rest of the week we spent doing some reports. And the last few days have been grounded because of the storm. We hit the streets and started walking Saturday. It was way cold and snowing. We live like 3 miles from anyone so it is a bit a walk. But we found a sweet old lady and found a new investigator so it was worth it.
