Hi!
This last week was interesting. Monday I was wearing no coat no tights and basically sweating in 50° sunny weather, and by Friday night the temperature dropped to about 20 and it dumped snow for about 24 hours straight. We got a little over a foot and weren't allowed to drive on Saturday at all because of road conditions, so we studied a lot and played monopoly inside for a day. Sister Tuala and Sister Martin and I shoveled all the snow out of the driveway ourselves and then later that night we went and shoveled some other members driveways. I'm now aware of muscles I didn't know existed on my body.
Yesterday we went to dinner at 5, about 30 min or so out of town in the middle of nowhere, and after dinner driving out got our car stuck in some snow on the dirt road. We had the members come to try to help us get out and just pushing the car was making it slide into a ditch with even more snow and not helping, so they brought out their truck to pull it out and their truck also got stuck hahaha. Long story short, we were there for about 3 hours and nothing budged so we ended up staying the night there and in the morning they called all the neighbors who all came with their trucks and we basically had the whole town helping us pull our car out of the snow hahaha. We felt so bad, but it shows how great the community here is.
Harley came to church and had a great time! We are trying to work with her dad to get her baptized but he lives in the middle of nowhere Missouri, 50min away from the nearest missionaries. Hopefully, they will find a way to meet with him and he will be willing and open to let her be baptized soon.
Joei is still doing much better than before and is so excited to get baptized on the 25th. We love her and she has worked so hard to get here so we are praying the weather will be okay to drive to Lincoln and all will go well with that.
Nebraska is super weird, but it's a great place and I'm so happy to be here nonetheless. I'm so thankful for the Gospel and for the happiness and peace that it brings to our lives. I know Jesus Christ is my savior and through his Atonement, we can overcome any trial or weakness that we might have, so long as we are faithful and obedient and remember that we have him to lean on.
I love & miss you all!
