Hi Family!
Made it another week! It is so cold this week that is for sure, i thought wind was bad in the heat but it is far worse in the cold as it blows the snow everywhere and makes it much colder. But i am sure surviving and loving Alaska! We are having great success with the people here and i am loving them. We are so privileged to have a baptism this Saturday for Steven Cain. He is amazing, we were referred to him by the bishop as his wife is a member. He was pretty much ready when we started teaching, it was crazy half way through our third time teaching him when we where going to ask him if he would be baptized on a specific date he beat us to it and told us he wanted to and that day. It has been so awesome to see his changes and his spirit as he truly has come unto the lord and is ready for baptism.
We also are making great progress with Oscar, he is amazing as well. So eager to learn what we are teaching and to read on his own to learn more. He came to church on Sunday and really enjoyed it and is willing to come back, i know he will be baptized i am so thankful for him. It has been so exciting with the people we are teaching to see thier lives change as they start reading the BOM and come unto Christ.
We also had some fun stuff going on as a zone, here in Alaska they do this thing called the Ididerod, not sure if anyone has heard of that but it is dog sledding where they race. It is huge here and they race pretty far, we did some service on Saturday but the race started Sunday so did not get to see it. If you are in anchorage i think you can watch it, oh well maybe next year.
Well i hope all is going well with the family, I love hearing from all of you!
Love you all!
