We've had the chance to teach sever members, less active members, and recent converts. We're still looking for new Investigators. Its been pretty tough. Door after door slammed in our faces. We'll find success though. I have faith that the Lord will help with that. We've been spending a lot of time in a small town called Middle River. We have an investigator out there named Toni Porter. She's the one who's son was baptized a year ago. She's very intrigued about the Lamanites and the Jaredites so any family members that can send me Talks or Scripture References about them would be most helpful. I've already picked apart Ether and Words of Mormon about the Jaredites for anything that she would find interesting. She mostly wants to know about the level of Craftwork, (Metal working and such) travel, and geography records. She reminds me a lot of Leslie and Molly. I'm sure they would get along. She's become like another mother out here for me.
We're helping this couple prepare to go to the temple. They don't go to church for the long or very often because the wife (Sister Turnball) has an allergy to Parfumes and Cologne and I guess people wear a lot of it in our ward. But they're awesome. Brother Turnball reminds me a little of KJ. Its pretty cool that there are so many people out here that remind me of my family.
This week we got hit with two MASSIVE snow storms. We spent all day Wednesday and Thursday shoveling snow and pushing cars down the road. We ended up carving path ways through the snow for anyone that wanted to travel the same way we did.
We taught a boy who is studying about all the different religions in the world for school. He's in a type of prep school. He likes what we have to offer the most because of the way we live our lives. He says he would be baptized into the church, but he has a problem with the Word of Wisdom. We're hoping to help him with that. We should be taking care of it soon. We had four Baptisms in the ward and have one more on saturday. Its from the other two companionships in our ward, but we're hoping to catch them too. Pray for us everyone.
I'll write back soon.
Love
Jess
