Hey family.

Well I just got back from Columbus and we have a lesson in like 15 min so I have like no time.  We went up there to play volleyball with my zone and we ended up staying longer than we thought.

  

This week was a crazy week.

On Saturday we had a great lesson with Karen who told us that she had quit smoking and was all ready to be baptized on the 7^th.  We were so excited then But then on Sunday she didnt show up to church.  We couldn’t figure out why so right after church we drove up to her house to find out why.  We found out that she had fallen at Wal-Mart and hurt her back.  So even though we didn’t want to we had to tell her that she had to push her date back to the 14th because she missed church and it is kind of a mission rule that you go to church the week before your baptism.  Even though she was sad she couldn't be baptized on the 7th she is really excited about the 14th.  She has her interview on Wednesday and is just so excited.  This was a huge faith builder for me though Karen went from smoking 2 packs a day to none in like 2 months.  She has a super strong testimony and is just awesome.

Everything here in Ohio is great.  School still gets canceled like once a week and today there was a 2 hour delay because of ice.   I love Ohio!
