Ok, another week. It's been a great one, that's for sure. We had zone conference at the Peter Whitmer farm, and being there so close to the day the church was organized so many years ago was a very special experience. I've loved being at the Whitmer again these last few weeks, it's quickly become one of my favorite sites again.
For those who've been reading most of my mission might be familiar with the online work we do. Well, there's been some developments there. Last week we discovered the historic sites would no longer be doing online, which came as a huge shock and a blow to all of us. We recovered though and continued to give tours. However, this past week we were called in for a mandatory meeting at the Hill Cumorah with Salt Lake. There we discovered a huge problem. Recently they have re-done the mormon.org online portal, from the missionary's point of view, and vamped up some of the ads for mormon.org in a few different missions. Nothing much was really happening, until a few days ago they stumbled upon a que where 17,000 referrals for Bible and Book of Mormons had been misplaced, for over three months. And now they need our help. So we have been spending a lot of time sifting through these referrals. We're looking to have them all filtered out within fifteen days. If anyone's up for the challenge it's most definitely the Hill Cumorah Visitors' Center. These last few weeks should be a wild ride though.
Speaking of wild ride, surprisingly, it's been quite snowy the past few days. It's an odd snow. One moment it will be freezing cold and winds blowing and snow gathering, and then the next the sun comes out and melts it all, then it comes back, and then it happens again, all within an hours time. The winter is fighting it's way through, but it's just another sign that Spring is coming! Sister Croxall and I have been out, whether in rain or shine, and testifying.
Those we are teaching are doing well, and we continue to help them with their progression. The tours we've taken the past couple of days have been very special, and even if they come in the rain or snow, they have all been grateful to see these sites. The Mom of one group commented that nobody else they know could say they walked through the grove in a blizzard.
I love you all and hope your week is filled with miracles!
With much love,
