Life on the "Res."


































We thought you would like to see what our trailer really looks like. We also have a few more horsepower than in the first picture we sent. Boy, are we glad we have a truck! These roads are crazy. We are very comfortable in our little blue trailer. As you can see, it is pretty nice inside. It has been fun to make a few changes to make it feel like "home." Thank goodness for Walmart.


We have met many new friends and know most of their names. We go out visiting everyday and inviting people to join us at church. Today we made appointments to teach 5 new people. On March 11 the sisters celebrated the Relief Society Birthday by having a wonderful dinner. There were 25 women who came so it was a great success. (I knew everyone's names but one.)


Today we had 46 people at Sacrament Meeting. We have a lot of work to do. But that is why we are here and we are enjoying it. It was Fast and Testimony meeting. Our hearts were touched as we listened to these wonderful people recount their blessings and gratefulness to be members of the Church.
We are grateful to be missionaries, but we miss you all.

  2. Hey, you have a Walmart? That's one of the greatest things about serving in America! That doublewide is more spacious than these 2 br Russian apartments. And you have your own temperature regulators. Snow still on the ground here and ice on the sidewalks. We're anxiously looking for spring! Great to see your pictures.
