Just a quick e-mail...p.day was cancelled because of the weather and so we got a little time today to e-mail so just quick letter...

I love my new area. The town Williamston is small but we cover multiple towns we are right next to the Michigan University and Lansing so really I am in a big town. I love it and hopefully I can go on trade-offs to MSU... but being close to a campus makes me think about school which I don't like so much. I love my companions, training is fun... I live really close to the mission home. The members are great!! People have money here so that is culture shock from my last area. I still miss the people in my last area but change is good! I am having fun. We werent allowed to door knock for two days because the wind chill was -30.... but now the weather is in the 30's so it is warm haha. I am layering up so much but feel blessed because it is only temporary the cold. But the members really caution us the danger of the weather so we are being careful. My new comp trust me to drive in the snow so I have been doing that I don't like it so much though haha.

Not much more to say other than I love Michigan and we door knoced during the rose bowl and everyone told us to get lost haha MSU won the rose bowl so that was cool! I really do love this mission and I don't know if I will go to Brazil I will have an interview with my mission president and talk to him about it. My comp who is a VISA waiter has been waiting just as long as me so it will be interesting to see what happens. Mom, I am thinking of going to the ciaro here to take advantage of being in the states. My hip is really hurting and I just need it popped so I might do that just so you know.

There is so much more to say but I will keep it brief for this week so my other comp can use the computer but I am so happy to hear about all the miracles that are going on back home. Thank you for your love and support!
