Easter

photo sent by a member on Easter Sunday!

Tuesday was a good day- we saw a lot of people and even found two new investigators!

We saw Tom again Wednesday, and he's doing great- he got a blessing and was more or less healed. His car was okay save for the bumper needing to be replaced (which is incredible because from the description of what happened it’s more a wonder he didn't die. Tender mercies of the Lord.)  

It snowed again Wednesday night, so we ended up chipping our car out of the ice and going out that day. We were able to see that lady who wants to come back again. (The weather report looked like it was going to be really nice this week….guess the weather can’t make up its mind over there, too!)

Sunday was nice- we taught Gospel Doctrine class, then a member invited us over for Easter. It was very good- lots of food, good company, good laughs. WE hard boiled our eggs as well, but we'll be decorating them later today. A little late to the party, but we just hadn't found the time before that. (we sent some egg dye, chocolate bunnies, and of course, Peeps! for Easter)

This week we have to go all the way to Davenport (3 hours from here), so after some huffing and puffing and going "well since no one is making decisions, I'm making decisions..." So now we're driving down the night before to Cedar Rapids (1/2 way there) with the trio of sisters from Manchester, doing dinner in a real city and then bunking with the 2 sets of sisters there, then driving the rest of the way with them the next morning. No one argued. Good. Unfortunately, the Sister Training Leaders were teasing me, telling me I'm going to go STL next transfer for all my controlling coordination planning habits. Heaven help me.

Trying hard not to be trunky/distracted by home- it feels like it’s coming fast and I have a lot of time (driving) to think and wonder and such on it, though I'm trying hard not to. (I think a lot on it, too…..)

Anyhow. All my love.
