Happy Late Valentines!

2.16.15

Hey everyone!

So this week was slow compared to last week but it still was not a bad week. We have been meeting with lots of investigators this week and a lot of them are doing really well with the lessons we have been having with them. We actually had a really cool thing happen after district meeting. So for district meeting we have to drive to the next town over which is Buckhannon. Anyways we have these investigators that told us about this doughnut shop in Buckhannon and so we deicide to stop there and grab some from them and of course a snack for the ride home;) So we were talking to the guy who was helping us and he had heard of missionaries before and he was really interested we were excited but kinda sad because we assumed he lived in the place where he was working but turns out that he drives there because he just finished culinary school and had to work at some bakery that made their stuff from start to finished so we gave him our number and he said he would call us when he got the chance to. It is so exciting when we invite people to learn and cool things like that happen to us all the time.

So the weather here has been pretty cool, (nothing a Wyoming girl can’t handle,) and they canceled church because of the roads and the temperature. It had snowed a lot and we had many members calling us to go home and get off the roads but as a missionary we do not want to waste the time that we have been given, 18 months seems like a long time but it goes by so fast. SO we decided to stay out on the roads and go visit a few more investigators or less actives and we had a great lesson with one of our families and we also had a great discussion about patriarchal blessings with one of our less active yw and she though it was so cool. It is wonderful to see the blessings that come when we are working diligently and put our trust in the lord. The further I get into my training the more I realize how important prayer is and I love to pray now. I am so grateful to be on a mission here in Elkins and at this time in my life. What a great opportunity it is.

 I hope everyone had a wonderful week and Valentines day as well. Love and miss you all and keep up the great work at home.

Love Sister Mauck
