The weather is finally turning warmer, now in the 40's on most days. The snow is ever so slightly melting. I think the snowstorms for the season have ended, and so spring will hopefully come soon!
Things here in Newburgh continue. The Spanish elders have found a couple of English people for us as they have tracted, which is a boost to our teaching pool. We are teaching other investigators and newer members. It really helps when we have a member with us teaching, as they add their insight and witness to what we say. These members also help the people we teach and invite to church feel more comfortable and have a friend to go with.
We've actually done a bit of standard tracting up here. We've actually found some slightly interested people from it, and given them copies of the Book of Mormon. There have also been others who flat out told us they weren't interested, and when we offered a card or something, they told us to keep it as they would just throw it out. Amazing to see people's reaction to the gospel. It's also fun to correct misconceptions about us.
My New York driving skills have been getting better, as I have been doing most of the driving. Skinny eastern roads and mountains have been getting less scary. I successfully avoided a deer that ran right in front the of car as I was going 40mph, and also a car turning out onto the road without looking. I am very thankful for my quick reflexes, else our Ford would have some damage because of forces outside my control. Deer and New Yorkers are crazy when it comes to the road!
I hope you are all doing well and looking forward to spring. I personally sick of all the snow. All you in Arizona ... you have nothing to complain about. You enjoy summer in the coming month.
