Dear Family!

yesterday was crazy!!! we didn't really get a big storm it just rained all day, and church was canceled, can you guess why? rain you may think, that's nuttn'! haha! their rain freezes immediately when it touches ground or your windshield! no way! its so weird! and its really dangerous, cuz it just looks like regular rain, and when you look at the ground it just looks wet, but when you slide your foot on it, its just a pure sheet of ice. soo weird. never seen that before. so yah, we just stayed inside all day, i actually took a nap. my first, i repeat my first nap in 10ish months?? when i realized that i had time to sleep i was in shock. haha, i almost started crying. hahaha. it felt nice.

 the work here has been great. we've been working w/ a part member family, the husband is non-member and his wife is an inactive, they recently lost their baby SIDS- and the wife-Renae wanted to start coming back to church and now the husband-Justin has been taking the lessons. really a sweet family. we committed him to being baptized on Jan. 2nd. so we'll see how that is going. we are also working w/ anther lady who's been excommunicated- Deborah- she is dying of some disease- and so it makes is hard for her to come to church, she is such a kind lady who has such a desire to do good and to come to church,she usually gets rides to church but yesterday, she said-this time, i want to do it on my own. she's really making progress, unfortunately both of these investigators were actually going to come to church and then Church was canceled! sad, but they are showing their desire, and it just makes me so happy to see it, you really grow a love for these people and want them to happy, and to grasp the gospel, b/c you know how much it will add to their lives. i just love this work. 

oh funny! we did earlier this week get a big dump of snow, and for some reason the plow man decided to box our car in!!!! i took a pic of it so you can see! oh man! well, I'd best be going! i love you all so much! there are such good people here in state college! 

oh! we helped out w/ the Victorian Christmas- in Bellefonte, PA- they have all of these old Victorian Houses that are HUGE and gorgeous!!!! one of our less actives had us over for dinner, and she took us thru her whole house, man, reminds me of Pride and Prejudice hows its all done up, but as service we helped w/ tours at a members home. funny story- at this less actives house, we had dinner, and we were waiting for her hubby to come in from  working outside, we were starving from fasting all day :)  anywho, we' were soooooo hungry, food is on the table, we are just standing there waiting, husband comes in, goes upstairs, wife is tired and stressed w/ getting her house ready for the tours, she just takes off to who knows where, and there we are, waiting for literally 20 mins, starving, left by ourselves not knowing where they went, and we wait, and wait, we call out to them, no response, finally we said OK we are going to wait 10 more min, and we are leaving and buying a hamburger at some joint down town, finally  the man, comes in , says his wife is upstairs mad, so we are like uhhh akward, so we run upstairs and she's crying in bed, and we talk to her and comfort her and then we all come down stairs and eat. things are better, but man, it was such a funny situation and very awkward. anyways, thought i'd share w/ ya'll . love you sooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!
