Hello family (and friends)!
Sounds like you are having fun in the snow. The past few days it has been sunny, but very cold. Okay, so not as cold as Utah, but a lot more humid here. It is -1 C with like 100% humidity.
That virus that Ry and Connor have, it seems to be going around up here too. I was sick the past few days with a nasty flu-like bug. Thankfully, I am feeling a lot better. It is no fun being sick, but tis the season I guess. Lots of fun.
The work is going well here. Sister Nuttall is super awesome and I love her so much. She is the best. Sadly, she goes home soon. I hope I am not the one that kills her. We have been getting along super well and she is so patient with my crazy behavior. Our one investigator is great - she is doing well. She still preparing for baptism but we had to push her date back a little. She is amazing. She is one of my favorite people in the world. We are trying to work it out where she can get baptized and the next week go with the ward to the temple. She most likely won't be able to do a bunch of baptisms, but maybe one or two. She is just so enthusiastic!
A cool experience I had these past few weeks. I was talking to Brother Todd and he pointed this scripture out. I really love it now and I want to share it with you. This comes from the book of Third Nephi chapter 17. This is when Jesus Christ is among the people in the Americas. I love these verses.
7 Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you; my bowels are filled with mercy.
8 For I perceive that ye desire that I should show unto you what I have done unto your brethren at Jerusalem, for I see that your faith is sufficient that I should heal you.
9 And it came to pass that when he had thus spoken, all the multitude, with one accord, did go forth with their sick and their afflicted, and their lame, and with their blind, and with their dumb, and with all them that were afflicted in any manner; and he did heal them every one as they were brought forth unto him.
I love that! Afflicted in any manner. Jesus Christ is capable of healing us, whether it is emotionally, spiritually, physically, mentally. He is there waiting to heal us. However, he invited them to come forward. He didn't force anyone, he simply invited them to come forward to be healed. It is only as we go to the Lord that he can heal us. I love the Book of Mormon. It is so true.

I love you family and friends. Keep reading. Enjoy life.
Remember, it is not about instant perfection. It is about eternal progression.
Cheers.
