Wind, rain, and snow

The whole week has been full of that at various times. Luckily, we were still able to accomplish the things that the Lord wanted us to do.

Some people have been asking me what we do for service up here. We have two planned service projects a week as a district -- helping at a food bank and one at a nature museum and trails. Recently, we have also been helping one of our investigators clean up her property, as neglect has cluttered it with all manner of trash and old stuff. We are helping her slowly throw away stuff and make the place look nicer. In part due to our service to her, she has been a lot more open to our message, and is accepting pretty much everything. She is scheduled to be baptized on March 26.

Our other main progressing investigator is also set to be baptized on March 26. He is the boyfriend of a member and is trying to find a church that was better than the one he grew up in. He came to our services on Sunday and absolutely loved it, and is feeling that this is the right direction for him. We are looking forward to his progress.

I'm staying warm, and I hope you all as well (except those of you in Arizona right now who don't know cold)!
