Week 25 - no heat

Hello everyone!
Hope everyone had a good week so far! My week went by so fast...I
can't believe it's Pday already!
So these are the things that happened this week:

1. IT SNOWED!!! Logan is so pretty when it snows! The only bad part is that we are outside all day street-contacting on campus or knocking doors so we are freezing...but it's all good!

2. I went on exchanges this week! So this transfer only the new missionaries (the missionaries who have been out from 1-12 weeks) had STLs. So I don't have an STL, but Sister Schultz does. So Hermana Daughtry came with Sister Schultz and I went with Hermana Izelo. So I got to be Spanish for day and it was so fun! First off Hermana Izelo is awesome and so fun to be around. Second off, I'm not that good at Spanish, haha. I tried to speak a little when first meeting someone because I took 2 years of Spanish in high school but then they would talk super-fast and I'd look at Hermana Izelo and then she'd answer,haha! But it was a super fun day and I got to see families and kids which was a change!

3. Last thing... So apparently the heater in our apartment doesn't work. So it's been 58 degrees in our apartment at night which is super cold. I sleep with 2 blankets, a sweatshirt, leggings, sweat pants over leggings, and a hat because I'm that cold! We are getting it fixed I think next week so we are happy for that. We told the elders about it and that night when we came home there was a bag on our door step. There was a note that said "stay warm sisters!" And it had a blanket in it, hand warmers, and candy in it! We were so thankful and I'm so glad we have nice elders in our zone! It’s been a good week! We had a lot of lessons and found two new investigators and both of them came to church this week and said they liked it! Next week is gonna be really rough because All of our investigators are going home so we have no lessons next week set up yet...so we will be doing a lot of service to keep us busy!

I just want to share a short message just before thanksgiving hits. I am so thankful for this gospel. It brings me so much joy and happiness. It's a different kind of happiness that I get, that I couldn't ever feel with anything else. I am so grateful that I was raised in the gospel and that I have such amazing parents who taught me to follow Jesus Christ in everything that I do. I am thankful for my wonderful siblings who have been such great examples to me to lead me to go on a mission which has been the greatest decision of my life. I am thankful for all of the friends that I have made over the years and the love they had for me.

I encourage you all to look on your life and think of the things that you truly are grateful for. It brings you peace and comfort to reflect on what God has given you:)

Love you all! And have a HaPpY ThAnKsGiViNg!
