 This week has been fairly cold, but recently, it`s been warming up. At the beginning of the week, we were getting some snow, but now most of it has melted.

We got in contact with a family that has some kids who want to hear the Gospel. Some people we are teaching right now seem very skeptical and like asking a lot of questions. I think the Work has been picking up a little bit here. There are some really nice members that make me wish the "no eating with members" food restriction was lifted.

A family we visited that works with wood gave me and my companion each a Plan of Salvation puzzle teaching tool. It`s kind of neat and I might use it sometime.

We also got to cook a cake from some cake mix we had. It`s a pretty nice cake.

 This week we got tranfers. I got transferred to another apartment. This one is much bigger, but the things we have to cook with are a little disappointing. No bread pans or muffin tins, and just things lacking a little more all around.

Around here, the Work seems to be a little slower. Maybe I`m just trying to get used to the different way things run around here.

Both me and my companion had leaks in our tires, so we had to go get those fixed. We left our area to go to a mall, which had a bike shop in it.

It was fairly warm, but we got snow again recently. Not too much. It`s not super cold, but not too comfortable.

We have several people we are teaching, but it is difficult to get appointments set up. I think some things around here just run differently.

 This week has been good. Yesterday we got transfer calls, and I am heading to Lakeview in Orem. The area has been pretty good, but I heard that in Orem there is a lot more food available. Here we have to leave our area if we want to go shopping.

We got some snow, but it melted fairly quickly. It`s relatively warm now. We got permission to go outside our zone and got some more Crumbl Cookies. While outside our zone, we also got to visit a really nice bike shop, where I got some help with bike stuff. My companion also got a package from his

There was a house that had several duck decorations dotting the lawn. My companion wanted each of us get a picture of the other holding a duck.

For the Super Bowl, a lot of our meetings canceled. We didn`t do much that night. We did get to meet with some members, though. My companion was hoping to watch some of the Super Bowl at their houses.

We also got to make some nice banana chocolate chip muffins.

Hopefully transfers are good. This one has been pretty nice.

 This week has been a little exciting. We have been sharing a lot of messages with members, and one of the people we were teaching got baptized! We are still trying to work with a couple people and their hangups about the Gospel, but it is looking good. While we were biking, we saw a deer by the side of the road, which ran across the street really close to us. It continued to run by us for a couple seconds. I wish I got pictures, but it happened really quickly and I was on a bike. Another time, we were biking, and my companion just directs my attention to some deer. It was a small group hanging out in the street.

Today we got permission to leave our area. We went to Kohl`s and got some clothes and to Crumbl Cookies.

My companion had his birthday this week. It was on Tuesday, and he turned twenty. We made some blueberry muffins that morning, which turned out pretty well.

We have also had a bit of crazy weather. We have had snow sprinkling down lightly for a couple days. It rained, then was followed up with more snow.

That`s most of what happened this week! Got some pictures of some of the stuff:
