It’s been a week. A lot of up and
down.
I've been pretty good about my
intake of fluids and good for you foods. (we’re
concerned about her recent dizzy spells and colds and such…)
A recent convert in our
area here has some books he really shouldn't because they drive away the
spirit. Apparently when we talked about getting rid of them (because he needs
all the help he can get to quit smoking), well it just didn’t go well at all. It’s a whole lot of heart breaking. He cancelled
our next appointment...and is refusing to speak with us. We'll figure it out.
): Prayers please.
Exchanges (trading companions for a
day) were moved to this week, as Zone Training meeting got moved back a
week, because on Tuesday most of the area was snowed in. We received 7 inches
of snow; so many meetings were moved around, which in turn moved ours. I
imagine this is not what happens in more southern missions. Inclement weather. (poor thing…a real winter!) Anyhow, we're looking
forward to exchanges, if only to break up the humdrum of knocking here in the
Fayette area. It will just cost us all the miles (it’s an hour to ZTM, then
another hour to where the sister training leaders live, and we drive all over
their area, then another hour to Iowa City because Sis. B's snow boots have
proved to be defective.... and however long back from Iowa City to Fayette... 3
1/2 hours or so?)
My companion loves the super bowl, so it was a real struggle
to not, you know, find a place to just roost and watch it. Needless to say, no
one wanted to talk to us while knocking during the super bowl either. And she's
of course a Carolina Panthers fan, so when they got trounced she was heartbroken.
I am just amused by the commentary we were hearing about Beyoncé's performance
from the ladies in the pharmacy (I wonder what they
were saying…)
Anyhow. Life. It’s been a really rough week but this coming
week looks a little better... hoping we don't get another foot of snow tonight
like they're predicting!!
Attached are pictures of me with the local Upper Iowa
University Peacock. It’s a giant metal bird.
Emails will be delayed next week to Tuesday, as it is
President's day.
All my love
