Hey everybody!Hows life treating you guys? This week has been an interesting one. Igot my new companion, his name is Elder Jacobs. Hes from a small town20 min north of cedar city. So another one from Utah haha. Hes doinggood now he had a bad couple of days and wanted to go home. We had agood talk though and at working our butts off and now hes staying soits good. But lets just say its been a long week, really long week.The funny thing about him though is he makes me look small. How funnyis that? He weighs about 330 and is over 6 feet so when i stand nextto him he makes me look kind of small. I think its kind of funny.Other then that its been fun hes a good kid just has had a rough pastand is trying to find himself out here. Which is a good thing but hewasn't expecting missionary work to be so rejectful i told him thatits a weird day if we don't get at least 20 doors slammed in our face.Hes like really? I'm like yeah. This week we got a refferal from somemembers in blanchard and we met her and she is goldedn! Litteraly sheis golden she will be baptized in a few months i have a feeling we aregoing back on friday to teach more and to set a date with her. Thatwas a good confidence boost for my comp that made him feel like it wasall worth it. I told him that happens when you work hard God willbless you for your efforts. This is excatly what happened about 7months ago with Charles too. I think its pretty cool. This week shouldbe a great week we should set 2 dates maybe more this week so i'mpretty excited about that. The weather here has been just really cold.we got like a 30 second storm yesterday were it was sleeting but otherthen that its just been a little cold. Its suppose to start warming upthe end of this week again be in the 40's or the 50's. Our car wasiced over today but thats the worst its done. Lets see thats about allthe new news. Sounds like libby's loving staying with you guys. i'msending home my memory card this week so you can see christmas andstuff theres not to much pictures but a few.
