*I forgot to send this last week. I had it all typed up but I guess it never made it out.*
Last week wasn't totally freezing but this week is going to be pretty nice. -30 or so all week. Right now is about -33 which just feels great on the face and any other exposed skin. There is a bit of snow but not too much.
We had Zone Conference, which takes out like 3 days of the week cause of driving. We carpooled with some French missionaries. One of them is from France and he is really funny. The drive took forever like usual. The meeting was really good. We talked a lot about the last zone conference that we had when the 70 came to visit. The spirit was really strong there and I learned a lot of good things.
On our way back to Timmins, we got to stop in New Liskeard for a district lunch with a senior couple there. They are super sweet people that are doing really well.
It was Christmas this week, as you probably all know, it was really good. The day before Christmas Eve we went to a family party which was really fun. They had a sweet nativity scene at the end with the little kids. It was pretty sweet. They tried using a real baby but he started crying right as they put him down. To end it off they had some music bells and we played some songs.
Christmas Eve we went to a supper/party. It was really fun. That one was pretty relaxed and I was able to Skype for a bit while my sister that is on a mission was skyping home. It was fun talking to her.
Christmas we also went to a family party for lunch and then got to Skype home. It was nice talking to everyone. My family is doing good. It's always nice to talk to them and see how they are doing.

Spiritual thought for the week comes from Helaman 14:17-19. 17 But behold, the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind, yea, even all mankind, and bringeth them back into the presence of the Lord. 18 Yea, and it bringeth to pass the condition of repentance, that whosoever repenteth the same is not hewn down and cast into the fire; but whosoever repenteth not is hewn down and cast into the fire; and there cometh upon them again a spiritual death, yea, a second death, for they are cut off again as to things pertaining to righteousness. 19 Therefore repent ye, repent ye, lest by knowing these things and not doing them ye shall suffer yourselves to come under condemnation, and ye are brought down unto this second death.
I was reading that chapter this week for personal study and I loved how Samuel was talking about the Savior. The gift that was given to us of God's Son gave us the most wonderful opportunity to repent and be forgiven of our sins.
I don't have too much pictures this week.
Love
