So this week again was not the most exciting week, but there was some good stuff. We are still trying hard to find new investigators, but that has not been working out so far. We have been tracting a lot and not seeing any success. We have also been trying to get referrals, but its like we are in Utah here, and everybody is only friends with people that are already members. The most promising thing we have is to start teaching part members families. There are a lot of families where only the husband or wife is a member. We started teaching the T family this week and they are really cool. The husband is a member and the wife and two little kids are not baptized. The kids love church and want to get baptized really bad and the wife is open to it also if she comes to know its true. So we committed them to start reading the Book of Mormon together as a family and we are going to start teaching them at least once a week. Hopefully we can have them pick a baptismal date in the near future. Nothing else to say really. Its been super cold. Its supposed to snow on Tuesday. We are just going to keep working hard and eventually we will have things start happening.

So this week was pretty crazy. Really nothing happened as far as missionary work goes because of the craziest 2 inches of snow ever. On P-day last week it was about 70 degrees outside. The next morning we went to district meeting and it started snowing about half way through, but we just kept going. By the time it ended it was snowing pretty good and we started driving home. The church is about a 10 minute drive from our house, but after 2 hours we were still 2 miles away from the apartment. So we ditched our car at a school and walked home. After we got home we changed into the warmest clothes we had and went outside to the freeway type road that runs in front of our house. We then pushed cars up a huge hill for the next 4 hours until it got dark. It was freezing, but it was really fun and we got to help a ton of people. A lot of people in our ward got stuck on the road and slept in their cars all night. A runner in our ward just parked his car and ran 20 miles to his house. It took some people almost two days to get home. Atlanta was just not prepared for snow. A member told us that all of metro Atlanta only has 14 snowplows which is not nearly enough. Besides helping people we really couldn't do much else because we were told to stay at our houses and not got out. So that was about all that happened this week.
Can you send me a hammock? And ties are always nice too. Don't send me any food that is bad for me!
