Seriously guys, I have seen a lot of things in my life. I have NEVER seen this much snow in my life. We had an accumulation of about 2.5 feet. I was fun to shovel, we met lots of people that way! We shoveled out two cars, out whole apartment walk way, a path to each person's car, and made cookies for our whole floor. That's what you do when you can't drive from 4pm Sunday until Tuesday Morning!:)
Along with my Nor'easter experience, I had a few other firsts. Like all in one day. I drove an hour and half to visit someone, saw a gorgeous "lobstering village", nearly got tackled by a 130 pound lab wrestling with a pitbull, and tripped and fell waist deep in the snow. Lots of laughter!
We taught Yvonne in that lobstah village, and caught her in her door yard (drive way) with three crazy dogs that were trying to jump on our car! Despite the crazy dogs we were able to share the restoration, and she accepted and is excited to learn more! it was her dogs that taught me that bearing strong testimony can protect you from harm. Her dogs, probably about 150llbs combined, ran into me full speed in the middle of my testimony of the Book of Mormon. And I didn't fall down. Since I don't think I turned into a rock solid hulk in that moment, it had to have been the spirit of God that protected me:)
Alicia is still doing amazing! She made me a birthday cake!!! I am so grateful for what I learn when I teach her. Her Native culture gives her an amazing sense of gratitude. She is going to do amazing things. She is getting baptized in March!!!
Have a great week you guys!!!
