Our blog today shows our half mission conference and snow!! The weather out here has been cold. On Saturday we got three feet in about 4 hours from a small lake affect storm that was just over Watertown. The Elders and Sisters are so tough. They are out tracting in twenty below and deep snow. We drive them here and there, but they spend a lot of time on their own. Our half mission conference was lots of fun with presents and skits from each District. We met a lot of missionaries that we don't normally see. We have also done a great deal of long distance driving in terrible weather. The last week or so we have been able to stay closer to home. Today (Sunday) was another spiritual high day. We pray constantly to find more young adults because most of them have gone. The Elders called with two new names for us. After church today we went on some visits and then went up to Sister Ortega's house to give her a blessing. She's been having a hard time sleeping and being alone with her husband gone. We got there and another young sister who is newly married came over. It turns out that her husband is wanting a divorce. They have only been married 5 months and she doesn't know what to do. It is a temple marriage and she's devastated. Dad gave her a blessing and told her that all would work out. She was so encouraged and thrilled. While there they had a another friend visiting, another spouse of a deployed soldier. She witnessed all that went on and we asked if she was a member. She said no but that her husband was. We asked her name and dad knew immediately that her husbands name was Matthew. She was so shocked. He was on one of the lists of lost ones we had been looking for. The Lord works in mysterious ways and we find these soldiers and inactives often by chance, ( but really by design). We had a great visit with the three women and were thankful for the service we could give.

that is one impressive snow fall, we are in the midst of a mean inversion. However the cabin was beautiful, clear and cold. Lots of fun.
I think I prefer the weather shown in your previous post. What a great service you are doing for these dependents of deployed soldiers! You are indeed a blessing in their lives.
