Week 15. Snowed In and listen to the talk

 Thank you for reading my emails, but if you are one of the people that just looks at the pictures then please also read the spiritual thought at the bottom. It's about one of the best talks ever and has helped me realize how to recognize revelation. Please look at, listen to it because it is awesome. Here are the highlights for this week:

Snow - The snow here makes everything look awesome, but that is the only benefit. Some of you are wishing you had snow but don't. I have literally been stuck inside for like 5 days. It's terrible. I've had to do online work, granted I got better at it, but we still had to cancel the majority of our lessons and I was going stir crazy. 

District Council - this was on the fourth day of being snowed in and I wasn't going to stay in the house any longer. Our district leader asked if we should do zoom and I literally said that they could all take the bus, and it doesn't even take that long, and it's free. But after our hour long bus ride to Oak Harbor we got another text that said we'd do it online and everyone else said they'd already be at the church so we made it happen. It was a really good instruction and it's where I got the talk. Please read it. Then to get home one bus was 4 minutes late so we had to wait outside for 30 minutes for the next one. It was cold. 

Biscuits and judgment - Tuesday, the Hymas came and got us so we I could learn how to make biscuits. While mine did turn out looking a little weird, I am not biscuit certified. The mission just got a whole lot better.  Then Bryson, one of the children makes fun of me for my cooking skills, so our lesson that night was Matthew 7:1-5 about not judging and that you still have some of your own problems to fix so don't judge others for theirs. It was pretty fun. 

Deprettos - because we've been stuck inside we've had a lot of time to go through the ward list and make calls. The Depretto family was recently baptized but we hadn't been able to get in contact with them. Then Thursday night we called the father and he answered! He lives in Lynnwood now (still I'm our mission) and he would like to talk with the missionaries more and continue going to church. Super awesome!!

Skipped two pages in my journal -  now there are just two empty pages between the 29th and 30th. It's not a big deal just annoying. 

Okay, the talk is called: You are Receiving Revelation... Now act on it! By Loren Dalton. I think it's a byu devotional. And it talks about how we receive revelation, how the devil tries to trick us, and gives amazing stories about it. Please listen to this. It will literally change you and what better time than right now to make a goal for the new year. I know that this talk can help each and everyone of you. Because it's an audio it might appear at the bottom but where ever it is click it and listen to it, or look it up. Which over one. It's amazing. (I lied it won't let me add it to this email so I'll have my mother forward it or something. Thanks mom!)

Okay I'll stop repeating myself. But I hope y'all this year can feel a bit closer to our Savior and find ways to serve Him. Cause I know it can make everything better. I wish you all a happy New Year and just want to say I love you!!!!!!

Pics 

Cool snow pics. Some stolen off Facebook because I wasn't able to drive and take any. Snow is not fun when you are a missionary. Oh yeah, and a pic from when I got my whole district to take the bus
