Table Rock

Table Rock! I got so much snow in my shoes and i thought i lost my ears when i couldnt feel them anymore!

Well to start this letter off i just want to express to you all how much i love the temple! We just got out of the boise temple! We got permission to do Baptisms and confirmations! I loved it! The spirit was so strong there and i have not done baptisms for the dead scince high school! It was a wonderful way to start off the day! My 2 companions are Elder Nelson and Elder Anderson! Elder Nelson is from Huston Texas and Elder Anderson is from Atlanta Georga! I tease them that i dont belong in the companionship because i dont have the last name of an Apostle! hahaha nah but i love them so much! Elder Anderson will be leaving on Dec. the 16 and then it will be Elder Nelson and i for a while! I love how much snow we have! The snow has not left for a long time and i play in it every chance i get! We were able to see amazing things this week! We taught Katy and she asked some of the most amazing questions! She started off by asking how she could know God like 'we' do and we were more than excited to help her! Then she asked if he had a plan for her?... WOW then she wanted to know about Joseph Smith and we taught her, Finally to end she was confused on the subject of the Hole Ghost... She was so bummed that she had to wait till the 18 of Dec. to get it but we promised her she could still feel its influence in her life right now if she would read and pray! It was just an amazing lesson and she is ready to be Bapitsed! Oh we got to go to Table Rock this week too! We drove than hiked the rest of the way! It basicly over looks all of Boise and it was amazimg to see all the snow coverd trees and the Capital and just everything! Oh and i almost forgot.... BOISE STATE LOST!!!!! :) I was so stoked to hear at church from the singles that the wolf pac beat them! It was a nice surprise! Any way i hope it will not hinder the work here!!! So thanksgiving was awesome! We were able to get 4 meals and i loved seeing old people i used to work with! I love the spirit of thanksgiving and just taking time to count my many blessings! Now with Christmas coming up i love focusing on The Savior and all he has done for me! We already listen to Christmas music and i love jammin out with the Elders to it! We got transfers coming up here soon so we will be in the office a ton! Pres. Cannon asked us to meet with him tomorrow for about 5 hours to start counciling about it! It will be crazy to try to figure it all out but the Lord will provide as he always has! Life is just sooo Good and i love missionary work sooo much! I hope we continue to see many miricles as we labor with all our might! I love you all and hope you have a great week!
