Funny: training a new missionary and opening an area is the best combination ever! I love Sister Thompson so much, and this week to help her enjoy companionship study even more, we studied the gospel together in a pretty awesome blanket fort. It was a really fun week, and we got a lot of stuff done.

Spiritual: the past two Sundays, before yesterday, they cancelled church because of the cold and the snow. I could feel the effect of going without the sacrament for two weeks. When I took the sacrament yesterday, I felt the spirit poured out abundantly upon me. The feeling that comes from renewing our baptismal covenant and living the gospel of Jesus Christ, is incomparable to any other thing I have ever experienced. I am so grateful for Christs restored gospel. 

Where I'm at: This area is so very prepared. I miss being in a small town, but serving in the city definitely has some advantages. There is seemingly limitless people who we can start teaching, and many of them are SO prepared. I'm very grateful to be serving here. I know this is where the Lord needs me, and I'm grateful to go where he wants me to go.

I love you all very much!
