Hey mom ! This week was really good ! It was raining a lot here and it's been flooding really bad !

 The sun finally came out about two days ago and it's been in the 50s and it melted all the snow 

so it's nice to walk around without sweaters again ! We went down to Greenville and taught a few 

lessons and they gave us another place to stay at in Greenville so we'll be doing a lot of traveling !

 We found a new investigator this week and we taught him the restoration and he wants to come

 to church and learn more.  We had dinner at a members house last night and they are my favorite

 people here in Quincy ! The dad is deaf and the son is about 35 and had a stroke and is mute

 and the spirit that is in their home is so strong.  It really makes me grateful for hearing and

 being able to walk.  It's amazing to see his faith in the gospel because he comes to church every

 Sunday and can't hear a single word but still makes the effort to come and other people have

 the ability to hear and don't even get out of bed.  I went to Portola on exchanges and had a lot

 of fun up there ! There is still 6 feet of snow there and the water was flowing over the road.  Other

than that it's been a good week and I'll try and send some pics ! have a good week ! love you mom

Hey mom ! yeah I know what you mean and that's what I've also have come to learn is that 
everybody has struggles.  Especially being in my last area, there were so many people who
 were lost but I was able to help them find the path that they need to get on to be able to
 get through life.  It was a pretty good week last week but we started out going to Reno for
 zone conference and on our way over there was a lady who rolled her Toyota pickup and 
she was still in it.  We raced over to her and pulled her out of the car and put her in our
 car and called the cops and stuff so that was the start of week.  But we taught some good
 lessons to our investigator whose progressing towards baptism but we'll have to move his
 date back because he's still smoking.  We then went to Susanville for stake conference and
 was able to meet with the president and hear from him and it was great ! I'm really liking 
my area though. The people are really nice and it's way pretty up here ! I hope you have a good 
week and I'll try and send some pictures ! 

love you mom 

My companion is doing good ! He's from st George and has been out about 5 months

 and he likes to hunt and stuff so we get a long pretty good. I've realized it's been easier

 to get along with companions the more I have them.  I'll probably have a new one 

in about two weeks because that's when transfers are.

That's pretty cold ! It's been about 20 on average here but we don't leave the house until 10 anyways

 and it's warmed up by then.  Have you got a lot more snow ? you should send some pictures of the

 house and stuff.  How is Beau doing ? Bri said he can move but still has diabetes.  This week was pretty

 good, we went to Reno again to watch a broadcast and they switched our schedule but the drive to

 Reno was awesome.  I went from the hardest place in the mission to the prettiest and it's a blessing.

  We get fed by the members about 2-3 meals a week because there's not a lot of members but its

 OK though.  We found two new investigators but being in a small town everybody here smokes and 

drinks so it'll be hard to get them to break that habit.  Hows work going for you ?

Hey Bri ! Happy birthday ! Some advice I'd give you is to start reading the Book of Mormon and

 sharing it with your friends ! That'll be fun going skiing. I remember doing that back in 6th grade

 over in Cokeville.  California is great ! I'm in a small town and there's a lot of deer out here and trees. 

Anyways have a good week and will talk to you next week ! love ya
