Well it is currently sunny and a freezing 10 degrees outside. We had a crazy freezing rain storm that came Saturday night and destroyed all the roads. Sunday morning when we woke up, all the roads were covered in a sheet of ice and we had our own personal ice rink in front of our house where the road is supposed to be (that's what the picture is). We didn't even have our car because as we were driving home with our branch mission leader the roads were so bad that our little Chevy Cruze wouldn't have survived on the ice so members with four wheel drive ended up driving us all the way home and our car was fifteen minutes away from our house. There's still ice all over the place, just not as bad as it used to be. The importance of that paragraph is that it is so cold outside now. One day last week it was -2 with the wind chill. Just a little bit chilly. But also church was cancelled yesterday because of the ice all over the place, so now my entire week is already messed up before it even began.
Anyways, last week was a little bit of a slower week. I was sick on Friday so we had to stay in and not really do anything but try to stay warm, which is really easy when you have an electric blanket keeping you warm. Best invention ever right there. Pretty much all our investigators had to cancel our appointments last week because they were out of town or just forgot or were sick, so that added to the slowness of last week. The lady that watched the Light the World video and talked with the lady in England has been sick all this last week so we haven't been able to meet with her lately. But the investigator of ours that moved in with her mom that I talked about last week is probably the most solid investigator we have right now. Her name is Amy and we were able to meet with her again last week. She had read the Book of Mormon and between Sunday and Wednesday got to the end of 2 Nephi and had good questions about the stuff she had been reading that we were able to answer. She was able to pray and knows the Book of Mormon is true and really wants to be baptized. She's had some rough years in her life and she knows that this is what she needs now. She calls us every day that we are supposed to go over to double check on the time before we even have a chance to call her and make sure we can still come over. She would have been at church yesterday if it wasn't for the devilish ice that came to cancel church.
This week we have exchanges tomorrow with the district leader and then again on Thursday with the zone leaders, and then it's Christmas Eve and Christmas and then transfers next week and I'm most likely moving out from Tiffin. Still planning on playing the organ next week unless church is cancelled again because of ice or snow (Pray that it gets cancelled so I don't have to play or speak!!!!). Everything is still going good here in Tiffin. Hopefully people aren't sick so we can meet with them again!
That's all for this week!
