Extraordinary Week & Yup More Snow

Guess who I am training now.. He claims to be from "Paris" but he lives in Spain. I dont know why French people think it makes you the top dog if you were born there. So Elder Lerminez: He is a 20 year old "Spaniardian" (for Dusty) and he was in the military before his mission. He was in Israel. How cool is that? He told me not to ask about it though. He has the most Greeny fire I've ever seen until he sees people then he gets really nervous hahaha its awesome.

 

Check out the snow level on the window!

 

So this week was very extraordinary. Currently there is a blizzard outside and yesterday was a blizzard, and the rest of the week it was 8 degrees (celcius). SO insanely warm and we thought oh man, summer time, birds chirping etc. but it was some crazy trick that turned into a two day blizzard. We have some crazy pictures. The snow drifts literally covered 2/3 of every door and in some parts the whole door. To get into the church, we had to do some digging/swimming. It's quite amazing.

 

 

Last week, Elder Snickers and I were visiting potentials from a year ago that were never contacted and we met, Matthew and Megan. They have 3 kids, 3, 5 and 7. They are awesome as well and they came to our ward activity on Saturday night and had a blast. Megan was embarrassed by her kids because they were popping balloons but they planned on coming to church until everyone got snowed inside.. so church got cancelled. I don't want to tell you anymore about them, because I don't want them to get jinxed, lets just say we love them and they are great people:)

 

This week I had a really strong spiritual experience while interviewing one of the elders in the area. This elder just got out on his mission and he has lived an insane life.. he is 25. He served in the military for 6 years (18 months in Iraq).  He also did some sort of MP stuff in Russia and has some crazy stories. He is a convert of less than 2 years and now he is a missionary. I was talking to him about how he is doing and he was struggling a bit but after a while he thanked me and said how he asked for help in his prayer and then I told him exactly what he needed to hear. It really is amazing when the Lord uses us to do his work. I Love you all like crazy! The mission is the greatest and for anyone in here who isn't on one. It's not too late, it will change your life!

 

 

1 Nephi 17:3

"And thus we see that the commandments of god must be fulfilled. and if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; wherefore, he did provide means for us while we did sojourn in the wilderness."

big hug little kiss,
