Dynamic Trio!
December 2, 2013
Things have changed here in Olney. In other words we have a +1 Sister! We're now the dynamic trio! Sister Airmet and I now have Sister Ellsworth here with us. And she is wonderful! We got the call last Saturday and picked her up on Tuesday. It's been an adventure ever since of course. We squeezed all three beds in our little room and my desk is now a round table awkwardly next the Sister Airmet and Ellsworth rectangular study table.
Stay warm!
Adventure to the church!
We had a great Thanksgiving together! We had dinner at Rene's with her and her family and her 4 dogs. It was super delicious and we got to end the night watching a classic church movie, Legacy. The rest of this week we spent figuring out how to work with a trio and it's been new for all of us, but we're learning a lot from each other and I feel the Lord has placed each of us here for a specific reason. We've already seen lots of miracles after just one week together.
Something that I've come to understand more these past couple transfers is how vital trials are in our lives. It truly is the purpose of our life here and an opportunity to become more fully who our Heavenly Father wants us to become. And it helps us turn more fully to Him and rely on Him. It is a vehicle for our growth. Missionary work is not easy and life isn't easy, but as I look back on trials and overcoming those trials, it is what allows us to change. How we react to our trials effects the type of change we have.
Hope ya'll had a great Thanksgiving!

Snow Storm!
December 9, 2013
It was quite the week! After two days of nice warm weather in the 60's almost 70's, we got hit with snow! A lot of it! It started off as sleet for half of the first day and turned into snow for the next 24 hours. We had to dig out our car out of a good foot of snow. Because of the weather we ended up having to postpone Rene's baptism to Sunday morning before church since no one had plowed the church parking lot. We discovered this Friday night when my companions and I tried to go to the church the night before to practice musical things for the baptism and ended up hiking through a foot of snow to get there.
But Sunday came and Rene's baptism was wonderful! It all went really well. It was a blessing to be there and take part in it.Stay warm!
