chilly adventures

Well yall this was adventure week! 

 

It was a really really fast week. 

We survived the storm last week, took a million pictures of all our adventures this week, had a blast and then now I'm sickly. thats what I get I guess, right? :(

 

OVERVIEW

 

1. We went to ROSEDOWN PLANTATION!!! It. was. incredible. and beautiful. 

It was a classic southern plantation that was beautiful even though it was the middle of winter and most of the grounds were brown some green it was still INCREDIBLE. I loved it SO much and I cannot wait to go back! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. We had ZTM! our zone meeting! Its always great to see all the friends and being spiritually fed :)

when we were on our way home we got a text saying that we would be on lock down because there were severe ice storms across the state and in some places SNOOWWWW!!!

AND IT SNOWED!!!!!! in alexandria... We tried to make ourselves believe that it was snowing here.... but it never quite made it sadly :(

 

 

 

 

3. It was Elder Farnsworths birthday on Saturday so we got permission to go to an LSU basketball game!!! It was so fun. 

It felt very very weird to be back in the real world and hearing new songs playing that I have never heard before and going to a basketball game and just being a real human again!

but then I was very ready to go back to my sheltered missionary life. being a human is exhausting!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. I know good ole IDAHO is getting rocked with some serious snow.... 

but wow yall. NOTHING BEATS SOUTHERN COLD. 

It is unbelievably freezing. wayyyy colder than Idaho. 

You can try your darned hardest to put on layers and layers to stay warm but it does no goood!!! As soon as you step out that door it just sinks right into you. and you are an icicle. 

In ID you can go out in the snow and go outside for a while and then gradually get cold. Here? nope. Instantaneous froze. its.. wow. an experience.

 

 

But it was a very good week!

We have one investigator family that we are very very excited about. They are literally the sweetest and encourage us more than we encourage them sometimes. :)

life is still good yall. 

We are still living and breathing and doing the Lord's work.

We are still trying and still relying on God. 

We have those rough moments, days, weeks, months, transfers, and years but keep it all in perspective :)

Its all going to be worth it. 

I'm very grateful for this opportunity I have to GROW!

I love yall bunches!
