Hey Y'all!

There's been some fun and crazy things going on this week.

First we found an awesome lady to teach! The weather was pretty bad
Tuesday. It had snowed and it was in the single digits, but we decided
to brave the weather to go knock a trailer park we were really excited
for. Well it was a pretty rough day. We were freezing and no one would
listen. People were down right awful and rude. After a few hours of
this we prayed and decided to try 1 last potential. As we pulled up
there was a lady sweeping off her walkway. So I ran over to talk to
her and she was super prepared! She has had some rough trials
recently, and had been praying for somebody like us to show up. We had
an awesome conversation with her and she invited us back. It was a
definite tender mercy after a super long cold day. God is so good to
us if we continue to show our faith and not give up.

Wednesday we had an awesome time with the silettas. We helped them
shovel the church sidewalks and they took us out to lunch. Sister Cook
and Teagan played "crackers" which is just improvising checkers with
crackers. Then they actually had a less active that we had been trying
so hard to get in contact with stop by for a few minutes so we got to
finally get in contact with her and she even invited us over! Woot!
The Silettas are awesome.

We worked at the food bank again and taught Bill. Bill is awesome! His
wife Tammy was baptized almost a year ago and is on fire and Bill is
so close to being baptized. He has a very strong testimony and the
entire ward loves him. He just needs to quit smoking and he can be
baptized. He's tried a few times before, so we're really praying hard
for him this time.

Also shout out to the awesome Perry 4th Relief Society for the awesome
package! It was wonderful and completely made my week! Thank you for
your love and support!

Sooo transfer calls came in.... me and sister Cook are staying
together. BUT we are also asked to be trainers. Yep so we are getting
a new missionary tomorrow. It's going to be a little insane. I am
excited though. Being an STL and a trainer in my last 6 weeks as a
missionary.... yee haw.

We had interviews with President that day too. He is just the best. I
love them a lot. He is truly inspired and has so much love for his
missionaries.
Today is being spent cleaning and getting everything ready for a new
trainee in this tiny little apartment. It's going to be a fun
transfer!

I love and miss you all!
