Growth

North buffalo is doing great. It was rather chilly this week with below 0 temperatures for about 3-4 days. My bones got a little cold a couple times so my voice was shivering during a few lessons haha.

Angels life finally settled down so we had three lessons with her this week to prepare for her baptism. We taught her all of the commandments this week. She is amazing. After the first lesson which we pounded most of the commandments we gave her doctrine and covenants 89 for her to read and just from scanning the heading before we left she asked us about coffee and tea. We explained briefly and our next lesson we found out she hadn't drank another cup since. She was going through heavy withdrawal because she usually had 4 cups a day for school. But she checked with her doctor and that was all she needed was to know that it would go away. 

She had her interview for baptism this Sunday and will be baptized on the 21st. She is so excited for it and feels so fulfilled from meeting with us and church and everything else.

Anaklet is struggling with some things at school. He isn't coming into the US at the best of environments. He wants to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, but it is forcing him to confront some issues in his social group.

We finally got our apartment looking decent today. It only took three Mondays.

I hope everyone has a great week

Remember sometimes you can only focus on growing deeper in your roots rather then stretching upward.
