My week has definitely been better. Not as many meetings;) 

I am glad that you were able to go to chruch last week!!! Church is a wonderful place. Yesterday at church I was talking to Sister Wild the Relief Society President. I told her that I needed a mom hug. (Just so you know they are from you). She laughed and gave me two. Sister Whillans over heard me say this and gave me another one. I felt so loved. The only thing that would have made it better was if they were really from you and if I could get one from dad. We aren't having much luck with our members here giving us refferals either. Most of them are too caught on indexing, or Temple work which is good. But it means that it is harder to do missionary work as well. I am sure that they both did wonderful.

The ward is doing alright we have been meeting a lot of the new ward members. We get lost a lot but end up finding different people that we were not planning on seeing that day. It is crazy how that works. No we have not been able to see Laura. She was on Holiday, and had to come home early because her Grandfather was in the Hospital again. I guess that they told her he probably wont last the next few days. So she has been with family. I have sent her a text asking if there is anything we can do and have not gotten a response yet. So we will just have to be here when she contacts us. She is in my Prayers. I just hope that her and her family are doing alright.

The weather is cold. It snowed Last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy at one point I stuck my head back and opened my mouth and stuck my tongue out;) hehe it was a lot of fun!! I took pictures so I have proof that it snowed. Good thing I did because it was all gone this morning. I knew that would happen while I was gone!!!!! It wouldn't snow because I wanted it to, but when I leave it decides to be really mean and snow so that I cannot enjoy it;( GRRRRRR!!!! hehe. How is lexie liking work???

The shoes are good!!! Yes they are comfortable. But I needed them because of all the walking I had worn holes in the others so they were letting water in. I figured that that probably wasn't a good thing.

Love you tons
