Hey mom!

this week was way fun! I loved being able to talk to you guys! It was so much fun! I'm trying to send some good pictures but these computers are total garbage at sending pictures. Well I was actually just thinking about the ice skating haha. Man I would love to go! I wish we were able to do that as a missionaries! Yeah it has been really fun! It has been so cold this week... -45. I got some frost nip on my face and I'm trying to keep my face hydrated. It's miserable. I am colder than I have ever been in my entire life haha. You go outside for like 5 min and your eyelids are frozen shut and you have to pry them open with your fingers haha. I wish you guys could feel how cold it is... 

That's neat that she sent you those pictures. There are 52 missionaries near Winnipeg and that's only 1/3 of the total missionaries on the mission. It's crazy! It was so nice of President Robison to host that dinner for us. So much fun!

Our two really good investigators are not prosgressing any more but their mom wants us to come back and meet with them again and see if they will be willing to have us again. Kinda upsetting but all I can do is my best and that's all the Lord asks!

I just want to say thanks to everyone who sent me the christmas cards and letters. I love getting letters!!! It's the best! Thanks for wishing me a merry christmas! I love you all!

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and thanks for the support! I love you all!

Elder Porter

Skype was a blast, we got 2 hours with him, Brunsons and Papa were there, we laughed so much, as we listened to him tell us the stories that he has written, and a few new ones. The fav was that he licked a telephone pole, just to say he did it, but the water froze when poured to get it off, so he ended up having to peel his tongue off, which ripped a layer off, genius!!! We opened the package Logan sent us, which consisted of a Canadian flag, some Ketchup Lay's, and various little treats, tie tacks for the boys and a couple of magnets. It was totally unnecessary, but we absolutely LOVED it!!! What an awesome gift it is to have a Missionary out serving the Lord at Christmas time, a little emotional, but a blessing indeed.
