Well My Dear Family,

We couldn't have asked for any greater amount of blessings this week. We met some incredible people simply through talking to them on the street asking them who they know and lots and lots of tracing and walking  in the snow ya!

Scott came to church or really sacrament meeting, because our church almost got canceled due to weather. i am so grateful it didn't! i think i have come to appreciate the sacrament so much more since being out here, and that probably sounds really cliche but its so very true! so he came to church and he really liked it!! he is so normal too!! you don't get that very often around these parts. unfortunately he is leaving for two weeks, to escape the cold with his wife, they are going to Florida! ya them, i wish i could just hide in their suitcases its gonna be so warm over there!!! we will see him Tuesday night before he leaves though so we'll make sure he knows where the Florida chapel is that is closest to him so he can keep going to church while hes away!!

 WELL its come down to it, and i am losing my companion we drive out tomorrow morning her to fly home and me to pick up my new companion sister westerlind. i don't know her, she must be relatively new. I am excited for the transfer merely because i am excited about all the work that is going on here. But i am so nervous or scared really to approach the final day, simply because i just watched sister christenson do it and it stressed me out in the process.. BUT this transfer is going to be great nonetheless. Seriously i will have to tell you all about it next week, because we just have a bunch of appointments set up for the first time that hopefully by next week they will all still be there but ya never know!!!!!

I am so grateful for this work, and boy oh boy for the knowledge you gain. we were looking at it this morning and as i looked inside i could just see this huge difference in understanding of the scriptures from before i came out. I love the scriptures so much, and i honestly cannot comprehend how people can continue to tell me that the book of mormon is not scripture, it so clearly is!!! Moroni 10:3-5 take the challenge if you havent already and if you have let it only confirm what you already know, how great is that feeling!! 

Sounds like lots of excitement is happening at home, I love you all!! and welcome home matt, even though im saying that from canada, i think it still applies .. maybe not.

Love, 

Sister Hadley
