I'm not quite sure what the weather is doing - March 31, 2014

So, it's 54 degrees today, but with the wind chill it's more like 40. On Wednesday, we're supposed to get a pretty decent snow storm. I don't know what to wear!

This week was a fairly uneventful week in the mission for us. We're continuing to work hard, but not much has changed. We are going to Zone Training Meeting this week, so that's going to be exciting, and we have interviews with President Cutler next week, so these upcoming weeks are going to be great, but as of right now, we're just here.

And sadly, I don't have a whole lot of new pictures to upload either. I'll be sure to have more next week because of exchanges with Elder Oviatt and Zone Training Meeting. We did find a pretty interesting painting hanging up in one of our less-active member's houses.

The funny thing about this paining that Elder Rytting pointed out to me is that all of these men look like they're in the middle of some intense conversation about some important document, but nobody's actually talking. Strange.....

It's weird to me how some weeks I feel like writing something immensely spiritual and meaningful, but other weeks are just kind of blah... Nothing spectacular happened to write about... Wait...

Oh Yeah! On our way to the library today we passed a house just down the street from us that had 4 police cars and a crime scene truck in front of it! That was intense! We passed the house on our way to our apartment and there was only one police car with a police officer knocking on the door to the house. Then, only about a half-hour later, there are all of a sudden 4 more police cars, 5 more police men, a detective taking pictures, and a crime scene truck all there! We don't know exactly what happened, but it was pretty freaky!

Also, we were tracting the other day, and tracted into a house that was owned by a lady named Tawnee. She wasn't particularly interested, but she knew exactly who we were and what we were doing. She actually let us know where on that street NOT to go to! She also expressed that she was concerned for our well being and wanted to know if we could carry weapons on us. We told her no firearms, so she pulled out a flashlight to show us what it was! She turned it on as a regular flashlight, but then she pressed a button and showed us that it was a tazer! Pretty awesome! We of course couldn't take it or have one, but it was sweet that someone was looking out for us!

Love you all!
