all the snow that came last week is pretty much melted. im not gonna lie, im a little sad. i was hoping for a white Christmas and i wanted to build a snowman. but im pretty sure there is more to come later in the winter. its pretty warm. in the 30s. there has been this nasty fog which is really fun to drive in but for the first time in several days, its gone. there is actually sunshine out there.

well, now that y’all have the yakima valley weather report, would you like to here about the work.

here is a cool random story. and since i was too tired to write it in my journal i figure i should record it somewhere. we had serveral appointments lined up one afternoon but much to our dismay two of them cancelled so we found ourselves trying to figure out what our backup-backup plan should be. we were standing in the snowy grassy courtyard of an apartment complex, pondering and looking through our planners and ward lists seeking inspiration. we sat down in a bench so we could really focus and just as i was asking Heavenly Father where we needed to be up walked one of our investigators. we hadnt been able to see him in several days cause he just got a job. we were so excited. we ceased the opportunity. we ran and grabbed a chair from some members in the complex. (it was on the patio and we left a sticky note telling them we would bring it right back…totally lagit)

we had a very nice lesson and visit right there in the foggy snowy courtyard. it was pretty cool. he was a little surprised to see us and thought it was just a coincidence but we knew better. this was God’s hand. He loves to remind us that He knows what is going on and He is there.

we got a new investigator this week. he is awesome. he is just 16 but he so excited about the gospel. he’s been to church several times and he loves it.

i hope y’all all have a great Christmas. what a blessing it is to be sharing the good news of Christ’s gospel, especially at this time of the year.

love
