Snow in San Antonio

Everyone!!!

So just when you think that the heat of San Antonio is all you have to battle, you go to bed after a cold day and wake up to a half an inch of snow everywhere. No one told me about that! Hahaha for the third time in San Antonio's history there has been a layer of snow on the ground, and the first since 1986. I would like to know the longest it has ever stayed because it was all gone by 3 that same day haha. But the whole city kind of started the weekend early and everything was shut down and closed. I am very glad I live in my area this transfer because President Jones said that we weren't to drive until the further notice... Apparently there were a lot of accidents. So Elder Andreve and I went out and knocked. y'all know what they say, when life gives you lemons, go out and knock because everyone is home in their houses because of the snow with their families who need the gospel. Ok so the saying isn't quite like that but it definitely fits in this situation.

So because of the weather it was a little crazy around the San Antonio area, but it was one of those times where it is the most fun to be a missionary because you can really see the blessings and miracles that follow your faith. God will bless you equal to your sacrifice. The more we are willing to sacrifice the more our Heavenly Father can bless us. I know that is true. Faith precedes every miracle. I know that that principle is true. If we put in the effort and the sacrifice to complete the work and glory of our beloved Father in Heaven, we will be blessed. It was a great day to be a missionary.

We found a couple of great blessings this week! We had a great zone meeting on Wednesday which we were then able to apply on a referral we contacted that same day. His name is Bobby Burge. He is very very nice and when it comes down to it, he just wants to know what he can do to know more about God. He reads, prays, asks questions, and everything. It is so helpful as a missionary! He is great and we set him with a date to be baptized on the 27th. We are going to work very hard for that goal to be realized.

We also met two families that are very interested in coming to church and being baptized they just have a few concerns to work over.

Elizabeth is great and the earliest she will be baptized is in March but she is awesome!!

and Jonathan is sick with the flu and so he is resting right now before he gets back at school and TWO sports... wow. But yeah, things are looking great. We will work hard to see what more the Lord can do. Love y'all!! Take care.
