It’s been a bit of a struggle this week. Sister Hernandez and I both got sick this week. We had some serious colds and were down. We were down for a few days and were stressed all week about our talks on Sunday. We are doing good though and they ended up not having to talk on Sunday...bummer. They had bumped us because they had a high counselor come. We were really disappointed we were going to talk about forgiving and going outside yourself to rescuing those who have fallen away. We had stressed about it all week. It was a bummer, but we should be talking next week. We had some really good visits this week. We headed out to a less active's and did service for her. We chopped wood and did a whole mess of stuff and even had the elders help us. It was really a lot of work, but we did a lot of work. It was really good. She lives in the boonies, so she doesn't get a lot of company. She loved having all of us there. It was a really good project. She came to church on Sunday with her nonmember husband. Her husband and her just got married in November. They are sweet. He has read the book of Mormon so we are hoping to get in with them. I think we are going to have a lot of opportunity to work with them. He also said that he really enjoyed church. We also had an inactive member come to church on Sunday who hasn't been in years and years. Things are starting to pick up for us and its going really well!

It has been really cold this week, but is finally warming up. Thanks goodness!!! I really do love it here, I love love love serving here, The people are so much fun. It’s awesome because you can be real with them. We just have a great time with them.

Love ya’ll,

Sister Whipple
