Wow it has been a crazy week. This last Monday we went ice skating. It was a lot of fun. And, I stayed up - for the most part.
We will start this week with the HUGE storm that came this week. We had a district meeting and then went by a few people in the afternoon. Then after dinner it started snowing really bad. Like in an hour it went up to like 6 inches. Normally that wouldn't be a problem but because they don't salt the roads it becomes a sheet of ice. It was nuts. The locals haven't ever seen it before. So we came back and built a missionary snow man.
Wednesday was a lot of fun. We went out and borrowed a few snow shovels and dug people out THE WHOLE DAY. It was a lot of fun we just went looking for little old ladies houses to shovel. It went really well. Then we got a ride out to an appointment with Jessica. She is doing really good and progressing really well.
Thursday we were on foot the whole day. And it was a little cold. It was fun talking to just about everyone, but it is really hard to get anywhere on foot because our area is so big. So we do what we can.
Friday was nuts. We had our weekly planning and we planned and got a ride to Jessica’s house. She told us that yesterday she got a call from her youth pastor. He said she was making the worst mistake of her life. That really really brought her down. So we really just had a pump up lesson with her. And we gave her a blessing. She was feeling really down. But she is still getting baptized.
Saturday
Mostly what happened today is Jessica got baptized! Wow it was a good one! She was so happy. She had her whole family there and they aren't members and were part of the opposition she had earlier. But her mom the whole time was crying and she definitely felt the spirit. It was a bunch of fun. She had a lot of support so it was good. Man what a testimony builder! She has so much faith. She has changed everything in her life and this was something she was set about. The gospel has worked for her and it was a tough road of late, but she got there because of the faith she has. It is sweet.
This basically sums everything up! It has been a really good one.
