Received a letter from Austin yesterday. He was transferred to Irving Texas. They had Ice Storms and then a snow storm and had no car! He said they walked and visited members & were looking for investigators The prior missionaries left no food in the apt and well..... he was experiencing sacrifice for the word!
He is indicating that Mormon.org is a big thing for missionaries right now and the church is all hyped up about it. You can get on that website and make a profile for yourself on there and he is encouraging us to do that. I will report on that here when I do. He told me he is on 3rd Nephi, his SECOND time reading the Book of Mormon, wow, I havent even got through it once this year, but I'm about half way!!!
He and his new companion sat down to eat lunch next to an older gentleman and started to talk to him, eventually they taught him the plan of salvation. He had lots of questions Elder Key said and they made an appt to talk to him again later. He was excited about that.
The area conference they had really pumped him up and he is determined to babtise the whole town of Irving!
He is such a good boy! and we are so proud of him.

Weathering the Weather
Hey everyone! We've been here now for at least 30 days and love this weather! Yeah, you have to put on layers and yeah, its cold. But we are prepared. Here are the things we've done since getting here:
1) Purchases "all weather" tires
2) Gloves & hats come with us each time we go out
3) Long underwear is a must
4) We just changed out the window washer fluid to the kind that can't freeze in 30 degree temps
5) Stay home
6) Drive very slowly in icy conditions. (Sometimes people pass us, OH WELL!)
7) Looked at some houses. It is always fun on a good day to check out the area.
8) We stop for hot chocolate a lot. Yumm!!!
Here is a pic of Hal cleaning off his truck. Isnt he cute?
We miss Harkins theaters! Movies are expensive here! So we won't be hitting the movies like we used to.
My job is going well too. I like my fellow employees & the boss, Dan Keegan is great. I am learning a lot about insurance and also sharing what I know with them. I am excited to take on new tasks. The pace isn't as crazy as I thought, and when it is, its actually fun. I have my own desk and my own office. I wish it was a bit more private, sometimes insureds come in and talk REALLY loud. I will post pictures now that I got my camera back from the shop. The door to the battery was broken.
Thanks everyone!! Have a great one!
