IT"S SNOWING!! *Slam* (name that movie)

Snow Girls!

Family of my heart!!

It's the first snow day! ONE FOOT of snow last night! And it's still going! AHH! We shoveled Sister K's driveway-but we couldn't drive, on president's orders, so we walked to the library :) We feel like genuine Minnesotans.

Our biggest miracle this week happened on Wednesday- after we had been blessed to go to a family history presentation at a senior citizen center, we decided to knock on all the doors on a particular street that we had planned to go to during weekly planning. As we followed our plans with exactness, we were blessed to meet a lady who just let us right in! She assumed we were Jehovah's Witnesses, because she used to be visited by them regularly, but she was surprised to learn we weren't. Anyway, we taught her a brief restoration lesson and we felt really blessed to be able to meet her. We'll see her again this Wednesday.

We've been working on getting appointments during our visits with people and we've found that it really helps our stress levels :) We're doing less worrying about the next time we'll see this person or why they're not answering their phone etc. It feels so much more effective!

We got to go on exchanges with the sisters this weekend- and we had stake conference! What an inspiration! The sisters are doing well- but I'm a little worried about their motivation to be diligent :/ I spent most of the exchange trying to figure out how to encourage them- so I focused on the teachings of Christ and how that is the ultimate motivator! And it truly is. The more we try to be like Christ, the happier we'll be!

So Mom told me that at stake conference back home they're doing a new testament challenge- I'm going to take that too! I want to learn as much as I can about this incredible person-Jesus Christ.

I thing I've discovered my strength in teaching- stories. I love telling stories and parables and experiences to help people understand- that's just how I teach! I've also discovered that Sis. C's biggest strength is simple questions. Questions that I would take minutes to formulate, she knows how to say in two seconds. (Trying to figure out how to get another appointment.... X-/ When can we come again? BRILLIANT!) We shouldn't try to make each other match our personal strengths- we need to figure out how to work with the strengths we have together :) It's been fun.

Anyway- Sister C's first niece was born this week on her b-day :) YAY! K's getting baptized on Friday!! YAY! We can listen to more than just hymns now.

IT"S SNOWING!!! Whoot!

I love you all SO MUCH!

Love, Sister Dia Roberts
