Well this week has been nuts. We have done so much... set a lady Shawn Gilbert with a baptismal date and I taught seminary! haha yeah, I hated seminary and now here I am teaching it! The seminary teacher sat us down and was like... first off I don't trust missionaries around here. She said she had the missionaries come and teach one time and she promised herself she would never have them come again. Sooo, I got a little scared. Anyways, I went on teaching, did some activities and after we finished and were getting ready to close the class; she came up and pointed and said I want to talk to you. I was like ohhhh crappp... She said she loved it and wants us to come back as soon as we can! haha! I'm guessing it worked pretty well! Anyways we are planning a turkey bowl here because no one has even heard of it. I think we have 3 wards and no joke, half the high school up here coming. It's going to be amazing! Yeah, I'm starting to eat a ton! I lost a lot of weight when I got here but it's coming back really fast! My memory card is in the mail so you will get it soon! Just make sure you send it back really fast so I can take more pictures. It's really starting to get cold here. It is 20's everyday 30's if we are lucky.. at nights it's down to the negatives now..... not gonna lie I hate the cold! Elder Nicholls is worse thenI am. He is so funny! He's really quiet but knows a lot. Me on the other hand, I don't shut my mouth. We went on splits yesterday and I went with the district leader. We went to a family's home that are way way way into the bible. They were so smart. I didn't know what they were talking about half the time and so Elder Roumeral started busting out scriptures andIi testified of each one. He would read and we worked them over! No joke, I don't even know how it worked that well, but the spirit was with us! Well, I taught district meeting today with 16 missionaries attending. That was a lot of fun! I'm doing a lot of teaching it seems like. We are beating everyone in our zone in lessons and QGCs. Pretty much all the numbers, haha. So, it's going well. I love you! Tell everyone I say hi and give them a hug for me.
Love,

Hey!
I'm feeling a lot better! It was like a 48 hour flu type thing. We set two more people for baptism this week; Johnny Hicks and Dawn Tucker. It's awesome! We are ripping it up down here. We just went tracting yesterday and found 2 inactives that said we can come back. We also found 2 investigators that want to learn more... We are going to set another girl named, Shawn Gilbert with a date here pretty soon, I think. I am just now learning all the required scriptures.It takes forever! Oh, if you could send some long johns.... it's freezing now!!It's around 25-30 degrees during the day and gets down to the 10's at night! They moved us out of the trailer in Meeker because we went last Thursday night to stay there and in the morning the heater stopped working and everything froze over. It was 15 degrees IN the trailer! So it got pretty cold. I almost got my face bitten off by a dog this week! That was pretty cool! I had to smack it around a little to get it away from us. I have given 3 talks so far in church and I'm going to be doing another one pretty soon blaaa.... I actually went over my time last week when I spoke in sacrament. I was supposed to speak for 10 mins and went for 22 min.... ooops. Well, tell Brit I love her to death and the Book of Mormon is true!
love you!!

Hey! Yeah I got the package. Thank you so much! If I would of gotten the beating stick Jer and Dad made a day earlier; I totally would of used it. The dogs love my comp. haha! It's so funny. I will just keep walking while he is fighting off a dog. No bites yet. Yeah I got a baptism last saturday. His name is Eric Day. He's such a funny guy. Well, I am slammed into being a missionary. I got asked about 10 mins before the baptism to talk on prayer! Then my comp and I got called 30 mins before church started to speak in sacrament. THEN, we got a call that same day to speak in the Meeker ward! agh! Oh... last night was the worst night of my life! you know how Jer said the first transfer he threw up all over in someone's bathroom? Welp, I did the same thing. I threw up 6 times last night! It sucked! Oh well, we taught 26 lessons last week and have 79 quality gospel convos. so we are ripping it up! We have another baptism in like 2 weeks, so that's going to be sweet. His name is JOHNNY HICKS. He's such a cool kid. Well, it's a good thing it's p-day so I can go back to bed! My body isn't acting that great right now! haha
love you mama!
