Good morning everyone!
I hope that you are all having a fantastic week/day!
So this week was pretty amazing, want to know why?
Linda's baptism was Saturday!!!
It was so absolutely amazing to see the smile on her face
as she came up out of the water :) I think one of my favorite parts however was
after she came up out of the water she asked to go back down again just to make
sure that she was baptized :) She is so solid! During the baptism we had a
great musical number by a daughter of one of her fellow-shippers who played her
violin, a talk by that daughter's mom, and a talk on the Gift of the Holy Ghost
by yours truly :) I am so thankful for that opportunity that I had to witness
someone make the decision to come closer to Christ and feel the joy that it
brings :)
Also this week I got assigned to give a talk in sacrament
meeting, on Saturday evening. Needless to say using my common sense to the
greatest of my ability, I wrote it all 30 min. Before the meeting started.
Thankfully I managed to write enough, in fact I accidentally went over 5 min.
And I also thankfully had the spirit with me, which was able to help me discern
what the congregation needed to hear :) It was actually an amazing experience
for me :)
Another cool thing this week was all of the snow that we
got! It was so cold! I am so thankful that jackets, hats, gloves, and wool
socks are a thing. Because they are glorious! It was actually really funny as I
was dressed in most of my winter gear while my companion just had a sweater and
a jacket on, with gloves and boots of course, and most of Montana was wearing
T-shirts and jeans! I had so many people come up to me these last few days and
ask if I'm from the south :)

So get this, Today is the first day of snow. Like actually we are getting 6 inches today snow! It's crazy, we just woke up to it snowing! Ya, I'm not looking forward to going outside today. It's only 7:45 so I still have about 2 1/4 hours. Crap, my companion is in the shower and just told me that he left something out in the car and needs me to go get it. Noooooooooooo. Sweet I got them. It's crazy how wet snow is. I always thought it would be dry and powdery.

Hey, I'm sorry that I haven't had too much time to email
today, but I really wanted you guys, and all of our other friends and family,
to know that I love you so much. You all have been so amazingly helpful in
strengthening my testimony.
Mom, dad, thank you so much for keeping our family strong
in the gospel.as missionaries, we come across so many who have fallen away, or
even haven't experienced the gospel because their parents were "too
busy" or just fell away. Thank you so much for raising me the way that you
did. I seriously can't thank you enough. And I don't think I will ever be able
to really thank you for all that you have done. You have given me something so
precious and amazing. This is truly the most amazing gift that you could have
ever given me. Thank you.
Sorry for the short email this week but this day has been absolutely crazy! I love you all!
