No snow, just ice!

Hello!!

I'm doing well! Having fun and teaching lots!! We haven’t had snow, just ice!

Our week was great! Met up with way more people than we thought we would! Next week is finals week so this last week was pretty much everybody studying and stressing. But people still met up with us! We just had a baptism at 12 today! Her name is Sandy and she is awesome! We contacted her on campus a bit ago and she is just here for a semester from China! She didn't believe in God before we met her, not because of bad experiences or anything, more like she was innocent to it all! So we taught her and she loved it!! She loves the Book of Mormon tons and has accepted everything. She'll be back in China next semester, so we found her a congregation there (which is right by her college) and she'll be a light to China for sure!!

All the people we are teaching are doing good. Just the usual, solid people stick around and the others fade out. Out teaching river is pretty new! We have Tyler, who when walking down the oval told us to teach him and he's progressing way well! 

Cool story from this week would have to be teaching a kid named AJ the restoration! We were with the AP's on exchanges and the Spirit was so strong in this lesson. But not because of anything we necessarily did, but because of the main question this guy had! He just wants to know truth and is so confused with every religion claiming to have it. We taught him about Joseph Smith and how we can find truth. It was awesome!

My favorite scripture right now is D&C 19:16-19. 

“16 For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent;

17 But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I;

18 Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit--and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink--

19 Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of 
men.”

I'm working harder than I ever have! I'm more obedient than ever before! I'm having so much fun!
