Brothers and Sisters!

This week has been downright crazy! Last Monday it sleeted, then tuesday, wednesday, thursday it snowed and friday it rained. So walking in the snow was insane cracking Ice and crunching snow with every footstep.

We decided to act like grown men and walk instead of seeing how fun a bike would be. Tuesday we walked 7 miles round trip in the snow (Up hill both ways ;] ) It was an adventure. We have some great videos of Ice fights, and pictures of Icicles.

We have had lessons with bashers and its hard to put the pride away and NOT shut them down with their own Bible. Instead we tell them politely that we have a great message and would love to share it with them If they are ever interested and told them to give us a call. They were furious. whats the quote say? “Nothing makes a person more mad than to be nice to them when they are angry at you.” We had to drop Eddie because of it. Hes like the pharisees – trying to tell Christ his own doctrine and wouldnt listen when he was trying teach because they thought they were too learned. An Investigator named Ceaser was caught up with deep doctrine and we told him that wont help him get back to Heavenly Father. The moment he stopped trying to talk about deep stuff, he understood the Priesthood in olden times. He understood where the Book of Mormon came from and thought it was so interesting, “Hey, Im going to read this!” We had this 65 yr old college professor/Church teacher call us up and asked to meet with us and basically told us to be prepared or he’ll shut us down. The Bible Belt is one heck of a ride. We’ll see how that goes.

Elder Maun and I were selected to be part of a “Mission Choir”! There is 50 of us and is a blast! I. MISS. SINGING. You get some members here in MCO and its really tantalizing.

We had to drop Simplice. Dona says hes not as interested as he’s put on in the past…We’ll see, we may be able to get him back.

We had a lesson with Geo and he accepted baptism for April 3rd!! Hes 15 and says he wants to go on a mission!! He is a solid kid! Joined the ward choir and everything.

Dona is doing well – We have the grandest time with him. Threw some snowballs at his apartment window and it freaked him out! The snow came so suddenly that Dona looked out the window and was so confused when it started snowing! haha

I love this area! been here 4.5 months and will probably be here for another couple.

I wish I could let yall see the videos we take!

Love yall!
