CANADA Week 21-December 19, 2017-Dashing through the snow . . .

The stairs are starting to disappear.

This week seriously flew. We had the ward Christmas party and we were busy with life, so I didn't even think about the days until we were already here. But it has been fun! 

So our apartment used to be a sisters apartment, and I found this sticky nose thing, and it must have either been really good, or really old, because I seriously almost ripped off my nose when I pulled it off haha.

The snow is starting to get real here, and the walls of snow on the side of the roads get higher every day. Which is super cool, but it also means that literally everyone who isn't working is hibernating inside their homes... so we have had to be pretty creative with finding people to talk to haha. Elder Rossi is really good at working with the members here, and they have been able to help us a lot. Also we always have snow shovels with us so we are ready to help people clear their driveways.

A member in our ward invited us over for lunch, and she made us salads from her indoor greenhouse. They were actually really good. Then her husband, who said he knew what he was doing but I'm not really sure, adjusted our backs. Honestly I feel pretty good, so maybe he did haha.

We had a really great experience with an investigator this week. her name is Bernadette and she has been an on and off investigator for over 4 years. This week, she decided it was time to finally come to church, and she did, and she loved it. She felt the spirit, and she savored every minute. She inspired me to be more appreciative of the blessing of church, and make it more of a occasion than a habit. 

When you found out that the eggnog you have been drinking all week is made with rum...

I hope you guys all have an incredible Christmas and make some solid memories! You are always in my prayers! Also, I want to second the testimony of Nephi in the Book of Mormon, "I know that he (God) loveth his children, nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things."  Just like Nephi, I don't know very much. and I am sure there are some things that I will never know. But I do know that God loves his children, and I invite all of you to search for that love this Christmas season and help give to those around you. Merry Christmas!

This fish made my life. It is in an investigators house, and I honestly have no idea how it is even alive, but it was awesome.
