Hey Family,

Things have been pretty rough this week for us. This past week it has snowed like crazy and it has been hard and miserable. At the beginning of the week we had high hopes for every set appointment that we had, we had a bunch of them too. Each day they dropped us like it was hot. Therefore leaving us with only 2 lessons taught this whole week. So nothing had really happened. Transfer calls were this morning and the both of us are staying for another transfer. I actually think that this might be my last area on the mission. I have a hunch that I will be here till then, but I have been known to be wrong before. So President Collins was unable to make it up this week so we will be teaching with him sometime this week. I am super excited to finally teach with him. Elder Judkins is still doing, and continually improving to become a great teacher. I hope and pray that he continues to improve. We taught one of the coolest lessons this week tho! We started teaching this guy from India that is here going to school and is super interested in the church. He went to temple square during Christmas break and felt the spirit super strong and referred himself to us. e has a Hindu background so it has been kinda interesting teaching some one that doesn't have a christian background the spirit was super strong in the lesson and he will eventually be baptised. It will just take a little work with him to get him to that point, this is the first person that I have actually taught that doesn't believe in Christ. I was kinda confused but oh well. its in the lords hands.  I am very grateful for Elder Judkins because he is super smart with these kinds of things and has taught me a lot about other religions that I didn't know about.. it has been very useful to help us with some teaching in our area. This week we hopefully will have a great week.We so far, have alot of set appointments and hopefully we will actually be able to keep them and teach some one this week. We will be able to pick up a couple of new investigators this week and hopefully they will be promising. But nothing too special to report this week except I am sick again. just my luck. I cant help it I am my mothers son. Anyways I love you all hope you have a great week!!!
