Hey Everyone,

So this week has been a good one. I drove for 12 hours straight on Thursday. I kept rolling down the windows to keep my self awake. It made Elder Goodwin mad every time I did it, but whatever haha. We went to Winnipeg, got to visit some great friends with the short amount of time that we had, then on Friday we had a 6 hour meeting setting the new baptism goal for 2015. I say meeting, but I should really say bloodbath. It turned into such an argument just because of 3 people. In the end we had about 25 people on our side for the new goal, and President Thomas just made the executive decision and chose our goal. sheesh we made some enemies that day haha. 

Then we drove to Daughin and went to church the next day. I went on an exchange and had to go and teach a lady I had never met the law of chastity. It is so awkward teaching a couple the law of chastity, especially when you just walk in and haven’t ever met them. It turned out really well though.

We drove to Neepawa and stayed the night with an old companion of mine. We didn’t sleep much. Then we drove to Brandon and goofed around all day cause it’s p day and we have to give a big training tomorrow. So we’ve been pretty busy lately.

On New Years, we went and played dice games and cards with some investigators and had a good time. After that, we stayed the night with the other Flin Flon elders and we had to find something to put some weight in the back of our truck because on the highways it just slides around all day. So we filled up garbage bags with water and tied a bunch of old ties together and lowered them out the 3rd story window and let them freeze overnight in the back of the truck. It worked great! We put a couple hundred pounds of ice in the back of our truck haha.

Well I’m still loving it here. Its really cold -55 farenheight the other day. You guys don’t even know what that means back home is Arizona!!. But you know it’s cold when you walk outside and get a brain freeze cause of the air! But I’m loving it! Cold won’t stop me from doing the Lords work. Love you all!
