Weather

Well the work has been really slow this week.  Not terrible. but slow.  I believe it would have to do with the insane weather we have been having.  Absolutely nuts.  The rain/snow comes at you at a 90 degree angle, and is backed by 80mph winds.  It really stinks.  I have discovered this week that my jacket is not waterproof, or really that warm, i wore three jackets on Saturday and since we didn't really get into any houses (because we were drenched) I was freezing for 7 hours.  But oh well, that's not new for us.  And it does make me feel really proud of our mission.  I think they only send the really tough missionaries here.  Its kind of fun to walk around in what can only be described as a class 3 hurricane. with snow.

So the other day one of our investigators house got knocked down by the wind.  Well the house is connected to another house, and that house was starting to build a second floor, so they had a 9ft tall wall that got blown on top of their house. The house is completely destroyed.  We had an appointment with them at 4pm and we got delayed with lunch, we got there at 4:30 and they told us that the house got knocked down 30 min ago.  close call there.  They are all fine.  only the mom and 21 year old son were in the house, and they just got a few scrapes.  

We did not find housing for Fernando and Margot, and are getting really desperate. Because of this sad fact, we were not able to teach them this week.  They have been looking for housing every free minute they have.  kind of a bummer.  well actually its a major bummer.  I know once they find a place, they will get baptized, but i just really hope that it is in our sector.

I do think i have grown a lot these past 2 weeks.  Lots of patience and lots of love.  I really love you guys and I want you to know that I know that these things are true.  

Love,
