Hey mom!

Wow sounds like a good week, I bet Dad's face was priceless when he got
up on that ladder. And spike ball? Dang, I love that game. When I was
in Manchester we played that a lot on p-days....so I'm coming for
them!

This week was a good week! Full of a lot of craziness but way good. We
had zone conference at the Joseph Smith Memorial and it was so good.
We have been doing lots of preparations for Easter and so we talked a
lot about that, and the new Easter video the church came out with is
super awesome. 

After the zone conference I went on exchange with one
of our Assistants, Elder Nelson, and it was so fun ha he's one of the
homies, and I got to go back to hometown Manchester. It was crazy
to proselyte there again, but so much fun. I got to go to dinner with
my last comp Elder Holt too since he's still there so it was a good
time. I definitely forgot how crazy that city is, though--haha. We ran
into a guy that knew the missionaries and to sum up the
conversation..."Hey Apostles! if you ain't been to jail you ain't a
true Christian! True story!" Good stuff good stuff.

Well we had a solid week of teaching, we found 3 new investigators on
Friday and it was so bizarre because they were all named
B--.......after we realized this we looked what was next on our
schedule and there was a potential family that we found a few days
before and they had 7 kids (so basically Mormon, already!) pretty cool, and then
we realized the dad's name was B--......he wasn't interested ( but
it's all good he was really nice and he gave us root beer. T-- came to
church again and had a blast, since we last met with her she had read
11 chapters in the Book of Mormon! She's doing very well, she has a
baptismal date for June 6 and is making her way for sure.

This week there was a crazy snow storm, we had 30 inches in a day.
When storms like that happen we can't drive our cars so we had to walk
a few miles into town and carried our shovels and for like 6 or 7
hours just visited investigators and shoveled random people. We
found this lady named Katie and she was shoveling and we chatted with
her for a while and said she would be interested in meeting with us.
So we stopped by and her husband and 2 kids were there
and they are soooo solid. It was unreal. The husband was one of the
more intimidating people I've seen but he was like the nicest guy
ever. We are excited to go back and teach them this week.

Good stuff up here in Vermont. I love it here, it's definitely an
adventure every day. But I'm just waiting for the spring weather like
you guys have in Utah!

PS mom I had interviews with President today and I talked with him
about the 27th of  August . He said he will let me know if it changes
but that should be the day.

Love you! Have a good week!
