Working Hard in the Cold

We are--as a mission force--focusing a lot on what is called ''He is the Gift'' right now. You have probably heard of it, but if not, it is certainly something worth looking up and watching. Short, sweet video about Christmas and Christ. Really our 'In' for this month. We didn't receive our iPads, so we cant share it with people that easily ourselves, but...still something good. We have--had--250 little cards about it to pass out, but are already down to like 100. Uh-ho. Being careful with them, while trying to talk to everyone. Tough.

The weather here has also been absolutely terrible. Rainy, windy, dark. No more snow, it is hovering just above freezing--1 or 2 degrees Celsius--and not a lot of ice, but not enjoyable weather in the slightest sense.

We did have Zone Conference last week, and despite the fact that I was NOT looking forward to it, it turned out that it was EXACTLY what I needed. A good motivational boost, a great time listening to Wonderful President Kosak and his wife, and really just...a spiritual boost. I did receive all 4 packages that were waiting for me, plus 2 letters and a tiny tuner. It was a hassle to get it all home, but we worked it out.
