Well Hello!
So yesterday while knocking, at this house, there were two doors....the inside one open and the screen door shut (but turns out not tightly). Anyway I ring the door bell just as I see this big boxer sitting in the entryway.....I'm thinking ooops. He comes running up barking to the door and jumps at it (he's a tall pup) and it swings open on me at the opening! haha I shoved it closed and maybe skipped a heart beat or two. Just a random dog experience.
I don't know if I told you but sometimes when it's cold, we stick a golf ball in our gloves to knock on the door with. It can really hurt your knuckles when it's cold! But lately it’s been pretty nice. No new snow and not too cold most days. In fact.........yesterday was like the nicest day to date! Beautiful sun for a little while, things pretty much all melted everywhere. I didn't even wear gloves! But then lo and behold.......we woke up to like a foot of snow!!!!!!!!! I don't know how it happened. It was the BIGGEST weather switch of my life. I'll have to see if I can email you a picture.
Anyway, I don't think I told you but around Christmas time at one of our Zone Conferences, we were given a hardcover blank copy of the BOM and told to read and mark anything that we feel has to do with the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and all before our Easter Zone Conference. I have really enjoyed the reading! Anyone up for the challenge should try it! It's really neat. I love the scriptures.
So Terry has been doing great! We are so excited about him. Last week we taught him the Word of Wisdom, which we thought might be a problem, but it went really well! Before we even committed him to live it at the end of the lesson, he was already thinking about how he was going to do it and give up his green tea. He just naturally aligns himself with the things that we teach! He truly is ready for the gospel in his life. And it's a great blessing to him. It's amazing to see the changes that occur naturally. And he is a better person and happier for it. Anyway, at the end of the lesson, we were a little disappointed when he said that he had a big essay to write and wouldn't be at church. And then the next day at church, we're sitting just as the meeting is starting and who walks up behind us? Terry! He only stayed for sacrament meeting, but this speaks VOLUMES! I can't even tell you how happy that made me. To have an investigator make it there on his own initiative and sacrifice to be there none the less! I'm really excited to see where he goes! I feel like a baptism will be coming soon......Speaking of which, I hope I get to be here! Transfers are next week. I'm kind of nervous either way because I'm either training here, or I'm training in a new area. Or who knows what with president. BUT, I'm nervous. Not thinking about it all too much, as in I'm not packing or anything at all yet. But next week is going to be crazy with one of us moving out and a new sister getting settled in! Yikes! I hope the sisters in the MTC are preparing well to be here!
Welp, that's all for now, Love you all!
