Whaddupp.

Hey there all. Didn't e-mail on Monday because we're going to the temple tomorrow, but we got permission to do it today!

This last week was sweet! Saw a few miracles and lives change! Plus we had a VERY filling Thanksgiving!

We had a sweet investigator lesson this last week! We taught the Word of Wisdom and I kinda threw down on cigarettes, haha. Felt kinda bad at first, but a couple days ago she told me that what I said is what she needed. Taught the doctrine of why she shouldn't and then gave a couple examples to kinda show my point, instead of just telling her to stop; the Spirit was really there and you could tell her heart was pricked by what she was feeling. At the begging of the lesson, she said that she would never quit, and by the end she set a date to be done by Dec. 10th. I'm pretty excited for her, it's not only going to help her spiritually, but also physically and financially. Her daughter actually thanked me on Sunday, because her mom wasn't smoking in the house anymore, so it wasn't hurting her head anymore! The progression is awesome!

So guess what, it finally snowed and stuck (last night actually). Not too much, maybe a quarter inch, and it's supposed to snow a lot more here in the next week or so. We'll see!

Sorry to those that I haven't physically written in a while, been way busy and then when I have time I'm too tired, but I'll get to ya soon! Promise! Haha.

Yesterday was sweet too, we had our zone conference (big missionary meeting) and it was legit. Very Spirit powered and uplifting. We practiced a lot of new things and I'm stoked to get out there and try them!

Gotta run. Hope you all have a great week!

Stay safe and stay chaste.
