January 25th...got the last laugh

Alright everyone... This week was pretty decent. Nothing too crazy! Everyone keeps asking about the crazy weather here but this week the weather was great! Like it was freezing cold of course... but no crazy storms!! The big storm just barely missed us. So all is well over here! I have only had one snow day so far this winter which is a MIRACLE. Especially considering the fact that last winter i spent most of the time stuck in our apartment or the church. 

So this week consisted of a killer hot chocolate stand that is a hit with all the poor students, a media referral that ended up being someone pranking a friend by sending the missionaries (but jokes on them because we ended up talking to the girl and her roommate for 25 min, gave them both Books of Mormon and they are coming to our YSA FHE tonight :) and we went to the one girls baptist church the next night because she was performing... that was....interesting...) And then i went to an seniors home to do service and got my butt kicked in chinese checkers by a 90 year old lady.... So all in all a good week. 
The highlight of our week was a World Wide Missionary Devotional this week! So all the missionaries from all over the world tuned in and we were given very basic and fundamental training from the apostles and leadership that overlooks missionary work in the church. It was really good! It hit a lot of the basic missionary skills with an overarching theme of teaching repentance. I really enjoyed it because it reminded me of the importance of teaching repentance as well as lead me into an awesome study of repentance and the enabling power of the atonement. I wish i could share with you the things i have learned but it is to much to try and explain over email haha 

Overall, we had an awesome week! Because of the crazy weather of nice day, freezing day, nice day, freezing day, we now have a pretty sweet collection of icicles on the church.... and so of course we and the elders took this opportunity to get some sweet pics. Sadly the Elders have most of them so i will just send you one this week and the others next week! 

Love you! have a great week :)
