Ice and cold ice and cold‏

Hello hello hello,

So, another week in Guthrie. Its been rather cold lately. There is a large pond by our appartment and its frozen over. Just an idea of how cold it is plus piercing wind. eek! Its been going well though. We've been teaching a recent convert's son and he has accepted to be baptized next month. Yay! Viola, the recent convert, is pretty cool. When I was in Edmond I interviewed her for baptism...now I'm teaching her and her son. Hopefully we can find some new investigators here because we only have a couple and one is getting baptized soon, so we've got some finding ahead of us. The ward here is good. They're all like a little family. Guthrie is a small town like Manti, so that gives you an idea of what its like here. Its probably a little smaller and on a more humble standard than Manti is. I went from the richest area to one of the less wealthy areas. The contrast equals out to about the same success rate of any other place. In wealthy areas, we don't teach as often, but when we do, they are commitment keepers. In less wealthy places, we can teach a lot of people, but they don't progress very fast. It just goes to show, you just have to find those who are prepared. Work work work until the Lord blesses you with someone.Well, I love you all and can't wait to talk to you Thursday evening!
