Hello Everyone!

Winter actually just hit for real two days ago. We had to trudge through the storm for hours because we are basically out of miles on our car for this month so we are rationing what is left. It’s not like Utah snow. Here, it’s humid, and that creates a problem. We went to the car yesterday morning and the doors were frozen shut and the wheels locked in place. Windows frozen over. No ice scraper to be found. I shoved the door open for Elder Liu to get in and start the car and get the defrost going and I got to work on the windows. It was somewhat of a mini nightmare. 🙂 Supposedly, this is just the beginning. Yay for Michigan!

We are teaching some wonderful people right now. Josh, the pastor, took us to lunch again, AND gave us copies of “The Great Divorce” by C.S. Lewis which he ordered online, because we had talked about it during our first lesson with him.

We are also teaching a man named Joe in Colon, and he is awesome. A brilliant man, with multiple PHD’s, and ready to learn more in depth about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He already knows that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and we hadn’t even mentioned it yet. He told us. If that’s not God preparing people and leading us to them, I don’t know what is.

There are others we are teaching as well, some who progress well as they keep committments, such as praying and reading, and others who take longer to learn and understand. I love being here, and I love serving the Lord, and there is nothing else I would rather be doing with my time.

Have a great week everyone! Stay strong! Keep holding on to what is important, and let go of things which are not. It sounds hard, but in the end, it is so much easier, and so much happier.

Until next week!
