Cold Skin...Warm Heart!
So I thought it was funny that I took a picture of the thermometer in our car when it said 5 degrees, cuz now that's not even cold! The other day it got to -12 at night and when we went out in the morning it was -9. It's so much fun to tract in that weather!
OK... so cool story... E. Coakley and I went to our investigator's house last night. He was an investigator five years ago but had recently just started talking with missionaries again. When we got there we gave him a big print Book of Mormon/Doctrine and Covenants/Pearl of Great Price because he has trouble with small print. As we walked in and before we sat down I saw a couple books that he had checked out of the Clifton Park Library about our church. I was looking through them and he said he had read them all (2 books about 200 pages each.) Then he said wait a minute and came back with 4 more that he had just skimmed through. We were like wow Wayne you have been doing some serious reading. We ended up just answering questions he had picked up from reading. All this reading had been done in the past 1 1/2 weeks. He is such a great guy and is really looking good for baptism. He said we have it the most right of any church.
I love you and miss you like crazy...Elder Louw

Blessings All Around!
This last week I got to use my Spanish twice with this guy who doesn't speak any English at all so it was kinda hard to communicate. The second time we went we took a guy from the ward who is from Puerto Rico to help out. It was great. The guy said he wanted to learn more and said he would be coming to church. He didn't end up showing up to church Sunday but hopefully he will start to progress. Finding new investigators has not been very fruitful lately but that's ok, life goes on. If we are meant to find them we will.
Mom you don't need to worry, we get fed really well here in the ward. I'm lovin it ha ha. I have not gained any weigh but if the ward keeps up they way they are going I might gain a few pounds... of muscle of course!
Oh ya, I was going to mention that I got a couple cards in the mail for Christmas that had money in them (15 bucks) but it was a perfect blessing because I ran out of money on my card last week cuz of transfers and having to buy new stuff. It was the perfect amount. Blessings all around.
