Howdy Mom, 
Man, where to start this week? i finally feel like i am getting back on a roll in this new area. its always strange to move to a new area. i feel like a brand new missionary again. so strange, but its looking up. i am starting to remember a lot of names in the ward, where things are, and give some valid input on what to do. ha it only took 4 weeks. ha our teaching pool hasn’t grown too much over the past week, but i just have this feeling that good things are going to happen, and it wont be small. i feel like a huge miracle is about to happen here. the zone is doing really good. all of the numbers are sky-rocketing! its so much fun to be able to see the hand of the lord so clearly hastening his work!!! i dont get why people wouldn’t want to be a part of such a great work. being a missionary is really the best thing that i ever done. lacey told me that "A mission will be the only decision i will never question," and that is the best advice i got. so lacey thank you!! i gave a talk yesterday in sacrament meeting for the YSA branch and that was so much fun. it was on why i chose to serve a mission, and i feel like i really now know why i am serving a mission. it only took me 10-12 months. ha but i wouldnt have it any other way! i have learned so much! its fun to look back on how i have grown.
a cool miracle this week. we started making it a goal this week to study out of PMG every day this week. so for one of our lessons we walk in and a less active daughter of our investigator is there. she is going through classes to be catholic. and she started talking and me and elder field just went totally PMG on her. it was really go to see how the lord trusted us to have her there to teach her. it was cool.
yes the weather was nuts!! just one night it started to rain... then the rain got really cold... then the rain turned into ice... then when we woke up there was snow of the ground!!! haha all of houston literally shut down. it was actually really funny to see. all the utah people were confused on why everyone was so scared it wasnt that bad up in Huntsville, but i heard houston had it really bad. ice was everywhere. we took it pretty slow just to be on the safe side.
its good to hear from everyone!!! Dad, i want to go on a camp out so bad!!! i am super jealous that you are doing that with the teachers. ha "the Man Maker"? tell me how that goes, and dad dont hurt yourself. Sterling, you are awesome! keep it up. ha i hope the broncos win next week, but even if things dont work out, just know we all are here for you and love you! Ariel... Good luck... Chandler, have a safe ride with the boys this week. Lace, keep up all you do. i show off your video all the time. ha keep being an awesome mom. Mom, you are the best! whenever i go to the tute i think of all the good old times. ha
so the crazy story of the week. so the night when the snow came in we were kinda out in the boonies, and its had been raining for a little while now. we were on our way to a members when we made a wrong turn. as we are pulling over to make the u-turn we start sliding into the ditch. no worries, our jeep has 4 wheel drive.... nope we are stuck so bad we cant get out..... now, me as the passenger, is the guy who gets to go out and try to push it out... it was 28 degrees, pouring rain, and i was in a thin rain coat and a sweater.... it was a bad day! ha we were in the mud for a good 30 minutes trying to get out... soon we see people coming out to come talk to us. come to find out he pulled big 18 wheelers out of the snow in chicago for a living... and was willing to pull us out. that was a huge miracle. so by the time we are finished i am covered in mud, cold, and ready for some hot chocolate. we walk in our next appointment just covered in mud and all i say is "we had a bad experience" it was fun though.
well yall i am peaceing. i love all yall. be safe and stay warm. love you!!!
