Newsflash - Sudbury is COLD!!!

Oh Sudbury Sudbury how cold thou art!

We hit -1 yesterday it was nuts! This last week was hard for Elder Bowman and I, for our teaching goals. At the present moment we have no one really to teach, so we are working with less actives a little more so that is some progress and something positive. We actually were led to a less active member who showed up to church yesterday and hasn't been active for a couple years. The crazy part was we went to see someone else and we saw him come out next door about to smoke. He was THRILLED to see us and talk about church with him again. He wants a change and to rebuild his burnt bridges. The rest of the ward is pretty cool, our Bishop is a retired History teacher and over dinner discourses to us for a while, and his wife can really cook so thats good.:)
The Big Nickel tourist area, it is over the worlds largest Nickel mine.

Another milestone in the mission life is I got approached for the first time by a prostitute, Oh Sudbury! We have been travelling in the "ghettos" a little more trying to find Less actives and at night it is kinda scetchy when you walk down alleys and bad neighbourhoods....oh well. This morning Elder Bowman was working out and dropped Weight Plates on this face! It was scary, but no busted teeth or nose so thats a plus, Kinda freaked me out a lot though. So happy he's ok.

I've reading the Book of Mormon again and am at the end of Alma, and I'm also studying the Teachings of the Presidents of the Church. I love it, I go around peoples apartments and the library to collect all the presidents books, almost got them all YAY! (I mean the people give them to me, haha). I'm about Half way through the Joseph Smith and a third in Brigham young - So sick! I'm enjoying reading of the Prophets.

Well this week I will be breaking out warmer gear and maybe get some boots here soon before its to late! 
Send us your prayers to find the Elect! I love you all so much. Getting excited to check the mailbox ^_^
