Dear Family,
I hope all is well where you all are. this week was rough, well it
sarted out great and ended rough. we had exchanges on tuesday and
right before we exchanged we had an amazing lesson with aaron our
baptismal date that was suppose to be for next Sunday, and then all
week things had been going great exchanges were amazing. we found a
new investigator, our lesson with michelle (our other baptismal date
that was set for march) went amazing she gave up coffee and smoking
and was reading the book of Mormon. we found lots of new potentials
and knocked lots of doors, we had a succesful valentines dinner where
we had aaron invlolved with helping out and then we learned that aaron
was on probation and suddenly everything started to fall apart. his
baptism date got set back to june of 2015 and michelle called us and
said that she had prayed about everything and that this just wasnt for
her. we couldnt believe it we had worked so extremely hard for days on
end and then boom, the dang adversary got a hold of a few of our
investigators. i just wanted to strangle him! But on a very good note,
aaron still came to chruch and when we broke the news to him that his
date was to be moved he told us that we did the math wrong and that
his probation in faact ends in december of this year. he said it
doesnt matter when he gets baptized he's still going to do everything
he needs to. he has changed so dramatically and hes doing it all on
his own and through the Gospel as well. But if you saw him before you
would have thought he had no hope, he was atheist and now believes in
god and turns to him everyday, its like seeing a miracle right in
front of my eyes. i really wish that when his baptism comes around
that i somehow get put back into this area or something! That was
basically the thing this week, was aaron. we will still be working
with him and gettin him on his way to a clean environment and a job
and continue to teach him. it will all be good, i m really excited for
him!! I dont want to leave this area just yet i feel like there is so
much to do here, im excited for the next three weeks as we turn to the
lord to find more elect people to teach like Aaron. well Sister
harrington is getting better, you can see it in her countenance, she
is able to walk around for a little while now and can talk and doesnt
sleep as much, im so happy that she is getting better. the branch
continues to look after us and we are constanly in one of their homes,
i absolutley love them all.i am doing well. Looking forward to zone
conference next week. More snow here today i thought we were getting
rid of it all.. apparently not. I love all of you and keep  you in my
prayers constantly.
Love Sister Hadley
