Family,

Things are finally starting to thaw out a little bit.... its finally going to be above 0C or 32F. Never thought that 32 would feel sooo good haha. So far this year Medicine Hat has gotten more snow than they have in years, lots of the white stuff.

Yesterday I found out that Elder D. Todd Christoferson is coming to the Hat for Stake conference in March, hopefully I can be there for it. That would be sweet if he spoke to the mission as well.

Well we taught our investigator again yesterday and it went really well. She kept her commitment to read and pray. We taught her the second lesson (the Plan of Salvation). She seemed to grasp it pretty well and she said a lot if it made sense to her. She has a very analytical mind, but so does the the member whose home we are teaching her in; so it works out really well. We have committed her to come to church next week, and she said she definitely will; plus an added bonus is that the Ward Mission Leader and I are speaking! ha Second time speaking in this ward. It seems like she has a real desire to learn the gospel. There was an awesome spirit at the lesson.

Interviews were this week and they were really good. President talked about faith and the AP's just asked kinda asked us the things we can improve on it was basic stuff but good.

On Friday the DLs and ZLs went to a leadership training meeting in Lethbridge. Normally I would have just stayed with E. Chamberlin, but the other companionship, E. Newman and Miller, had a lot of less active lessons and potential gator lessons that they couldn't cancel. So E. Chamberlin went and hung out in Taber and I stayed in the Hat with E. Miller ( you should remember him from 5 Guys the day I reported to the MTC). We split off Thursday night and Friday went to teach their lessons. What a great day! We even taught a less active in our area as well. So they were supposed to get back Friday night around 8, but they got a flat tire in Lethbridge and had to get it fixed; plus on the way back it started snowing like crazy so it took them awhile...they showed up to exchange back at 1130..... haha For missionaries that was really late. Not much else to report...

Well I love you all and hope you have a great week!!!

Love,
Elder Moore
