Here's me in the middle of a blizzard (By Texas standards)
Well folks, it's snowing here in Canada! These Canadians keep trying to tell me that these are just flurries, but they can't fool this Texan, it's a straight up blizzard out there.
So this week went pretty well! We stopped by a few less actives, and had the opportunity to share a message with one and get a return appointment. We're super excited about that! We also got to give some service to Connie and Bary. We went out one morning to help them shovel some topsoil into their front yard. I think it was around -6°C that morning. I don't know exactly what that is in Fahrenheit, but I think we can all agree that it's cold.
We went on exchanges this week, so I spent the night in Pincher Creek. While there we had a lesson with a member, and when he heard how new I was, he made me share the message of the Restoration with him to test me. I passed! Well at least I think I did haha. We also got to go tracting for a little bit, but it was super cold and windy so we weren't out for very long. The area we were in was beautiful though, really close to the mountains, and we even got to see a waterfall that was right off of the side of the main road!
We helped a member hang up some Christmas lights in his yard, and while we were there we got to meet his neighbor and he asked us to help him with his yard sometime, so we'll stop by him this week and see if we can share a message with him too!
One big miracle this week, Grant accepted to hear the discussions! He's already been to church a few times, and really enjoys it, he just didn't feel ready to meet with missionaries. But apparently he feels ready now! We won't be able to have a lesson with him this week, but next week we will. We're super excited to start meeting with him. He seems so ready to accept the gospel, I think he just needs to be invited!
That was basically it for this week. We've got some really awesome stuff lined up for the next few weeks so I'll keep you all posted on that!
So I've been reading a lot in the New Testament recently, and I wanted to share a few verses out of Mark for the spiritual thought this week. This is Chapter 5 verses 25-29.
Love you guys and hope everyone has a fantastic week! Stay warm!
Love,

So I've been reading a lot in the New Testament recently, and I wanted to share a few verses out of Mark for the spiritual thought this week. This is Chapter 5 verses 25-29.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.I love how this story can relate to us. We all have trials in our lives, just as this woman was being tried with her sickness. If we try to seek for help from the world to get through our trials, just as she did by visiting many physicians and spending all of her money, we often times will be no better off. However, as soon as she sought for help from our Savior and expressed her faith, she was healed, and her burden was lifted. We must have faith like this woman did to turn to our Savior in times of need, and seek help from him, rather than from the world.
Love you guys and hope everyone has a fantastic week! Stay warm!

The waterfall we found! That's not me in the picture, I just used another elder for size comparison.
