There's Room for Everyone on the Nice List!

This was a great week (we learned that the Pizza Fairy visits NH too!).  We
got perhaps our second real snowstorm of the season on Thursday, which meant
our cars were grounded, consequently forcing us to cancel all of our
appointments.  It was very sad.  So we planned, and ate, and studied, and
tried to contact some people in the apartment building.  And ate.  I
remember snow days being much more fun as a child.

Anyway, during the second half of the week we got to teach many lessons,
which was great.  One exciting development is that we began teaching Kenny,
a woman from the Marshall Islands whose sister, brother-in law, and daughter
are all LDS.  She's wonderful--super nice, loves to read (and in fact was
already reading Daughters in my Kingdom); the only problem is that her
English is not the best.  We tried to have her daughter translate, which was
rather rocky business.
 Nevertheless, we're thrilled to be teaching her, and she seems eager to
learn.

Almost all of the lessons we taught this week were first lessons, meaning we
got to teach all about the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I
love teaching that lesson.  It's wonderful to hear people ask us, "So why
are there so many churches today?  How are we supposed to know which one is
right?" and be able to answer, telling them about Joseph Smith, and how he
saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  It's marvelous to share with them
that we have living prophets and additional scripture, and that we want them
to find out that it's true for themselves.  This is such a special message
that we share, and I'm so glad I have the privilege of doing so.  Missionary
work is sublime.

Have a superb week!
