Africa?

Our zone conference came and went, along with some interesting events. It has been quite cold as of late, and when we left our flat headed towards the car, a strange but not uncommon chill crept into my bones. When we broke for lunch, we were more than astonished to see a small blizzard outside the chapel doors. It snowed for about 3 hours, and it left about an inch of snow. It was odd seeing a bunch of "Men" running around in the snow like a bunch of small children. Apparently it hasn't snowed here since 1981. After we all nearly ruined our suits, we gathered back together for dessert. Elder Mcknight and myself won MVC (Most Valuable Companionship,) and we bought matching smiley face ties to celebrate. 
     The rest of the week seemed to fly by. We have been working hard, and we have finally seen one of my favorite investigators baptized on Sunday. She has been battling with problems since we began teaching her, but she was determined to do what the Lord wanted her to. She has overcome every obstacle that has come her way, as well as sacrificed a great deal in following in the footsteps of Christ. Now, the objective will be baptizing her two teenagers. They are about as interested in the gospel as HIV it seems. Every time we come over, they dart out of the room/ house.
     Aside from this, and another teaching appointment with the Rastafarians, nothing much has happened. This week should prove interesting. It's the last week of the transfers, and they always seem to have some interesting events...

Until next time,
Much love,
Elder JW DAvidson
