WEEK SIX - DESERT BOY VS. THE SNOW

OH BOY OH BOY IT SNOWED.

Yesterday, we woke up to a blizzard. No, my fellow Arizonans, not a Dairy Queen blizzard. One of those windy outside blizzards that make your nose feel numb. It was actually pretty fun! It wasn't very deep snow though, so I haven't learned how to make a snowball yet. But I have learned to wear gloves. Those are definitely required.

Conference was amazing! It really did feel different without President Monson there, but it was still fantastic. Everybody always talks about hearing a talk that was just for them, and I finally got "my talk"! Elder Evans talked about patience in the priesthood session. Patience is just the theme of my mission apparently! He talked a lot about the same things that President Monson talked about in the last conference, especially about reading the Book of Mormon, and having daily study and prayer.

Conference is just better as a missionary! And not just because you're more focused. You get to watch conference at member's houses, and depending on the members, you get treated reaaaaally well. Like the member unexpectedly busts out a legit stormtrooper suit! AND LETS YOU WEAR IT. I know. Pretty awesome. Elder Jenkins also decided to wear a penguin onesie for the Saturday morning session. Not as cool as the stormtrooper though. And the Michelini's told us that they would take us to Banff next p-day if the weather is good! I'm super excited for that!

We picked up a new investigator named Prince. Not the artist formerly known as Prince, but Prince from Ghana. He's pretty cool, but also really busy. Just like all our other investigators. ._. We get cancelled on a lot. So many investigators, so little appointments. Oh well! We keep doing our missionary thing!

Love you all! Talk to you next week!
