12-14-09 A Baptism soon and More Snow


Friends and Family,

I am not really in the writing mood right now, so I appologize if this week's email is a little short or boring.

We got a lot more snow this week. on Tuesday, we got about 12 inches. There were winds with gusts of up to 50 miles an hour in the evening, making blizzard conditions. Because of this, we could not drive Tuesday and had to stay inside. This really has been a strange winter this year. We had snow really early, then virtually no snow in November, and then a huge snow storm way earlier than usual.

We had our branch Christmas party. The theme was "A Night Without Darkness: The First Christmas In The Americas". It turned out really well, and every one enjoyed it.

We have a baptism coming up next week. His name in Pete Clark. He is about 75, and has terminal Cancer. We are excited for him to be baptized, though, and he is too. I will tell about how it went next week.

We also have several Spanish-speaking invetigators who would be baptised, but are being held up by lack of church attendance. We are trying to get them all to come to church, and then we will have more baptisms!!

So it is a really short one. I will write a longer email next week.
