Hey guys! Happy new years!
This week was a pretty tame week tbh. It was one of those weeks that fly by so fast that I forgot to take pictures. So I took some last minute ones! Haha. This week was cold though. Like cold cold. Like it literally felt like -20 degrees with the wind chill cold. The first day of the extreme cold we were out knocking doors for like 4 hours. There was a point where I literally tried to square up with the air, because I was mad at how cold it was😂 It got so bad, that one day it was 10 degrees with no wind, and Elder Petersen and I were thanking the Lord for the warmth. It felt like summer outside to us.
It's still been a productive week regardless of the cold though. C got left out of the rehabilitation center, so that's great! He's like a new man. We are going to set a new temple date for him, and get him ready to go there. The only problem is the temple is closed for a while. So it will have to be a little later then what we're shooting for. W is doing good. Her life got really crazy really fast, and she called us and told us she doesn't know about this whole religion. We asked her why, and she said she loves all of the people but she doesn't know why. Then we explained to her that Satan is really upset that she's working towards her baptismal date and he will throw everything in her way to get her to be led away. She really lit up when we told her that and told us that it makes perfect sense. We promised her everything will be ok, and that the branch family will be there to help her out on her journey. So that was an exciting little phone call.
Besides that Idk what really else to talk about. I think my brain is just trying to erase all of the memories of the cold away😂
Anyways it was a good and fast week, and I'm grateful for all of the experiences Ive had out here on my mission. I'm looking forward to this next year, and I know it's going to have a lot of crazy cool stories and spiritual experiences in it, and I can't wait.
Good luck with 2018 everyone.
Here's what I look like in the freezing weather. And a few pics of Rockland and such. The ocean does a cool thing in the winter too. It steams like crazy. I think its called sea smoke. So I tried to get a picture of that, but the camera literally does 0 justice.
Selfie of the week:
This picture is from when President and Sister Blair delivered the missionaries their Christmas presents:
Momma C found a video showing the sea smoke Elder C was referring to:
