And I thought 40 degrees in California was cold!‏

So this week was really slow because the dang cold!

We weren't able to go out much because of the weather and road conditions but we started making a game for the gospel of Jesus Christ for our investigator family, so we spent most of the week at the church. It was funny on one of the days our district leader texted us this "Elders! It's cold! We just got word that it is even 'dangerously cold' outside. Be smart with your activities you pursue. Don't play the part of hero and go tracting all day." I thought it was funny because I'm sure there are some missionaries who think " Oh it's not THAT cold, we can just wear lots of layers and people will invite us in" As fun as that sounds, it's better to not risk your health and the possibility of of getting frost bite. So not much news but it was still an enjoyable week!

Also on Saturdays we shovel snow off the church side walks. Before we did we were in the clerks office where elder Sanders left the keys inside the room that can't be unlocked. As I left the room I thought "there's no reason to close this we'll be back after we shovel" not thinking about the keys. So we went out side and realized "shoot, we need to open the car trunk for the shovels and we left the keys in the office and that door locks, and so does the front door!" Miraculously the front door didn't shut all the way and I didn't close the office door. If we had, we would have had to walk a mile to our apartment in the freezing cold until church the next morning, not to mention walking to the church as well! The Lord was looking out for us!!

Love you all!
