Sister Edholm - week 7

LOVE

Hello wonderful people who read my emails!

This week has been great! We got a new investigator which is awesome! She is our Branch Mission Leader's girlfriend, she didn't accept baptism, because she wants to make sure that this is her decision and that she isn't just doing this because her boyfriend and his family are members. Which fair enough, that is a good reason not to accept. It is personal conversion and we all go at different paces.

We had a pretty funny experience this week. Last week I told you guys about Gordon our super golden potential, well we taught him this week and it went really well, it was like those perfect role plays that you do, he answered the way that we practiced he would answer and he was really opened minded about the whole things, just a really normal cool guy. Anyway later that day and the next day, we found out that he was in love with my companion Sister Truman. Our joint teach had told him that missionaries move around a lot and that Sister Truman is going home in March, he was really sad about that. We asked him if he was still interested in hearing more of our message and he said, yes he is really open minded, but really the only reason he would want to would be to be in her company... lol obviously he wasn't as golden as we thought.

Our week was pretty snowy though, yesterday we had a blizzard and they shortened church because of it, so that people could get home safely. We went to a members house for lunch and they drove us there after church, they live in Kilmacolm, which takes a little while to get to anyway, but with the snow it took even longer because tons of people were stuck up hills, so we had to go a roundabout way, but we eventually got there. They are really nice, there son is a return missionary and he served with my companion's brother in France, pretty cool, small world.

Love you all!!

Have a Spirit led week!

*Additional info Emma shared with me:

It is cold, it is definitely a different kind of cold, in Fahrenheit it is probably only like 20 22 degrees, but it feels worse than -40 sometimes, it just seeps into your skin, especially when you're out walking in it for 5 hours+. But that's okay winter is winter. 

I love being on a mission, it is definitely the greatest thing I have ever done and I have learned so much about myself and from the scriptures!
