Week 18: Snow!

December 12, 2016

Another awesome week come and gone! It finally got cold out during the beginning of this week and it snowed! I didn't think I would love the cold too much but it is the best! It is also really fun to bike in the snow, I only slipped like 5 times so I'd say I did a pretty alright job. The weird thing about Canon City is that the weather changes so quickly. It was cold and snowing for a few days and now its back up in the 50'2 and 60's. 

This was a really spiritual week for me though. I really felt close to my Savior and felt my testimony strengthened that He is the way to peace and happiness and really just the center of everything good. 

Hunter was going to be baptized this last Saturday but the man he wanted to baptize him was out of town until Christmas! He really wanted him to baptize him so he decided to wait which is a bit of a bummer but he is still staying strong so it will work out. 

Kyle and his wife Ahriana are progressing so well and I am so excited for them! It was so key to get Ahriana there to the lessons because now they are both way more motivated about the gospel! I was so excited when they told us that they had done couple scripture study everyday this week. He is planning on being baptized on the 24th! What an awesome Christmas for them. 

We had a Christmas Zone Conference this week and it was real uplifting. One thing that stuck out to me that our president said was that these will be the best 2 Christmas's of our lives because you get to spend them with Christ. 

We also got a call on Sunday from the AP's letting us know that we are getting another companion! His name is Elder Zaugg and he was companions with Elder Coverly a few months ago. I'm pretty excited to meet him but man it looks like I'll never go a transfer without being in a trio. 

Anyways I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season and remembering the true meaning of Christmas. If you haven't already, look of the Church's Christmas initiative on mormon.org!

Love,

Elder Morgan
