First off I can't believe that there is only one more week of January,
where is the time going?? Second off.... It's been a crazy week!
Monday: it all started with emailing all of y'all! So that's always
cool! Then we went shopping for food! Because who doesn't like food!
😂😂 after that we went bowling. It was so much fun! Let me just say I
am not a great bowler! Aha! But we had a bet that whoever lost, had to
buy everyone a frosty from Wendy's! So good thing I didn't lose! We
then came home and one of the Hermana's made us some real Hispanic
enchiladas! They were good! We then went out tracting!
Tuesday: we had house checks and car checks! So we did that, and then
we went out to Birdgewater! We do a lot of less active work out there,
and that's always fun! Later that night we had a relief society
enrichment activity, it was all on visiting teaching! It was soooo
cool!
Wednesday: we had the opportunity to hear from apostles... O watch an
all mission conference. Everyone around the world was able to watch
it. We watched it live, but some of the others missionaries around the
world weren't able too!
Thursday: of course we had weekly planning!! That's always fun! But
sometimes it's extremely long and boring. After that we tried visiting
some potentials and some other people.
Friday: the day it started to snow! 😍❄️❄️ so pretty! We literally
drove all day trying to find people who would let us in to teach them
about the restored gospel! But no one really allowed us really in! We
taught a really nice women of the Brethren church. Her faith is so
strong and is wanting to strengthen her faith even more. Then it
started to snow really bad! My first real snow living in it. Yes I
would go up to Cedar City, Utah and have snow, but this is just
different. You actually get to walk around in it. So much fun but so
cold. The snow storm was so bad that we had to park our car and walk
to the Spray's house because we would get stuck from how much snow
there was, and the plows couldn't come out. It was a crazy experience!
Saturday: we tracked for pretty much the whole day, but the funniest
thing that happened that morning was this guy was trying to get his
car out of the snow, well it took him a good 5 hours to get it out,
but while he was doing that he hit a car. So that was crazy! But our
car got "grounded" and so we had to walk everywhere. We contacted
potentials and a lot of other people. It was a crazy day and that was
a huge memory! We also stopped by the Walton's and we stopped by at
the Crosby's and they were willing to feed us and keep us warm! Thank
goodness for great members!
Sunday: well church was cancelled because the snow was so bad and
people couldn't get into church, so we went out and shoveled people
out of spots. We also went over to the Walton's and helped shovel
their elderly neighbors yard.. Man was that a work out, but while we
were doing that we started having a snowball fight and they had some
sleds so we went sledding! It was a very successful day!
Saturday I got some sad news! I am actually being transferred out of
Harrisonburg! Nota quite sure where I will be headed but I am
extremely sad! I am so grateful for the members here and all those who
were willing to help out with missionary work!
I love this gospel and I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to
hasten the Lord's work!
Until next week... Here are some snow pictures!!
Love,
Sister Pewtress
