Funny: I thought I knew what cold was, I thought I knew what snow was. I will never complain about cold and snow again! The snow banks on every street are about 4-6 feet tall! When its -30 but the suns out and the wind chill isn't too bad it feels pretty nice out. Today it was only negative 12, so I just wore a light jacket. I have never seen so much snow in my life, I didn't know it was possible. Also, we found a Book of Mormon costume in our apartment...

Spiritual: Last Sunday, I fasted and prayed with all my energy that my new trainee, and I could find 5 new people to teach this last week in this area we are opening. On Saturday there was a terrible blizzard, and we had only found 1 person so far. We were determined to find more people to teach, so we got on our knees and prayed for him to lead us and guide us to people who are prepared. And we were led by the spirit to find 5 people who were extremely prepared to receive the gospel while tracting in a blizzard! They were all humbly searching for the truth, and it was amazing to see how much prayer truly works, and the Lord truly does hasten his work in His time!

Where I'm at: On Wednesday I moved to Fargo North Dakota! Sister Thompson has had a great first week in the field. We have seen miracle upon miracle every day! Every time we get stuck in the Snow (which happened many times) we were able to get ourselves out, or someone helped us. Fargo is a great area! I was worried to be moving to the biggest city in the mission, but I love it! A lot of the people here are immigrants and refugees from Africa, Nepal, and other countries that struggle with poverty. The people are so humble, and haven't already decided what they know is true and not true. They are willing to ask God what is true. I love them SO much! And I love all of you!
