Edmond, Oklahoma -February 18, 2013

Hey Everyone,
 
Well it sounds like things are going pretty well for everyone back home.  Things are about the same for me this week.  The snowstorm that we had here last Tuesday kinds threw the rest of the week off.  We got a text from one of the AP's telling us that the mission was grounded until further notice, so we got to spend all day cooped up in our apartment.  That was when we made that snowman.  To answer your question about where my coat was, it was inside on the couch.  It didn't seem like it was that cold outside when we made the snowman, but I was smitten a couple days later when I started to get sorta sick.  The extent of my sickness was a stuffy nose and some coughing.  You think I would have learned my lesson, but being the crazy Utah boy I am I will be out in the snow making another snowman without my coat soon enough. 
 
Last week I told you a little bit about Brandon, the former NFL football player.  Well we finally got to go back and have a lesson with him and his wife last night.  I say finally because the last lesson that missionaries had with them was on Jan. 15, so it has been a little while.  Brandon and Kyla are AWESOME!!!  Brandon is already in Jacob 4, and was making connections from what they learned about in their church to the Book of Mormon.  We went in and talked with them for a little while and answered the questions that they had from the restoration.  After we had answered some of their questions, Brandon asked us "If we don't have anymore questions right now, what is the next thing you guys wanted to talk to us about."  Brandon is so ready and is eager to learn about the gospel.  After he asked us that we taught them the Plan of Salvation, and they seemed to take it really well.  After the lesson Brandon shared with us that since that last time we came over, he had felt a spark in his family and his life.  The only downside to all of this is that Brandon and Kyla are both super busy, so for now the next time we can go back and see them isn't until March 10.  I really hope that I will get to stay here in Edmond long enough to see them get baptized. 
 
Overall we had a really good week, but there aren't a lot of exciting stories that are coming to my mind right now.  So I guess this week will be a shorter letter.  But for now, good luck to Emmie and Darcy at their soccer games.  So yeah that is about it from me this week.  I love you all.
