This week has been pretty slow, but we've definitely made lots of memories. Tuesday evening we were snowed in and not allowed to leave our apartments, and the same goes for all of Wednesday. We kept ourselves busy with studies and cleaning (loads of organizing) and also picking nits out of my hair. Oh yes, the most fun part of the week. Lately I've just been hit with all kinds of sickness
and ailments, and the specialty of this week was lice! We didn't find a ton, but Sister Ewell and Sister Packard were very sweet and spent a good amount of time combing them out of my hair, thus nit-picky missionaries! After lots of combing it looks like I'm lice free!

Not fun lice!
Fancy French toast we made while being snowed in!
The first day after Snowmageddon at the Smith Farm:
We attended the funeral of a woman in our ward I visited a good deal. Her name was Lori Watrous and she was known as the "birthday card lady". She wasn't very old, and her passing was very sudden. She was really great friends with a recent convert, George Higbee, and it was just very devastating for him. He's not one-hundred percent mentally there, but he is a very sweet man and we are all so sorry for his loss, and the family's loss. It's times like those that truly make you reflect on the joy of life, and the blessing it is to have the knowledge of the gospel, and that death is not the end. This week I was asked to participate in the Easter concert. The Hill Cumorah is putting on a series of six concert pieces leading up to Easter weekend, featuring students from Rochester in the Eastman school of music. I opened the program by singing the song "His Hands" one of my favorite Easter renditions that testifies of the Savior. Afterwards we listened to two students play the harp and the Spirit was so strong. I love being able to serve at the sites where we can constantly be refreshed by sacred experiences like these!
Sister Packard (who played the piano, and the amazing harpists)
Sorry this week's email is short again! But I'm excited to move forward in the area and everything the Lord has in store for us. I love you all, have a great week!
