Ice Storm

I guess the most exciting thing that happened this week was the weather. Friday-Sunday everyone was expecting the worst ice storm in 10 years   we had a lot of freezing rain that got everywhere.  There was a solid sheet of ice on our truck all the time   and all of the trees and plants were covered in ice.  It was actually pretty cool looking.  I think I slipped and almost fell about 6 times.  But the good news is that while everything was frozen the roads were clear so it ended up not being too bad.

One miracle though from the ice was that we went tracting for a while (in the freezing rain) and we actually got let in to a home and taught the Restoration(that's a first for me)! They liked it and said we could come back. Just a cute little family with a 9 month old girl.  So we are excited for them. Also this week we got 2 Church Headquarters referrals-I haven't had one of those since last Easter when they changed how they were submitted.

So it has been a pretty awesome week.

We also had a Zone training meeting this week and interviews. Those are always a great experience. 

Something that we have started to apply is a principle taught by Elder Ballard In a talk Write Down a Date.  (https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1984/10/write-down-a-date?lang=eng)

I hope you can all read that and start trying it out. It is a pretty amazing experience to see the Lord's hand in our daily lives.  

Hope you all are doing well!
