This morning it was 39 degrees (F) when I went for my walk. Brrrrr! A might chilly for the homeless who opt to spend their winters in this area because of the mild weather. I could actually see my breath this morning.
Today we have 16 new missionaries arriving from the MTC - 15 elders and one lone sister. That's the most since our arrival last April. Pre-MTC, we have a record number of sisters - they will come in March and May!
Yesterday our Gospel Essentials class was the fullest we've ever seen -- had to bring in chairs from another room. In attendance, there were 8 people who had been members their entire lives -- 6 missionaries (including us), 1 visitor, and 1 ward member; 5 investigators; 14 converts. Amazing! It was such a neat class. We went around the room and everyone introduced themselves -- many shedding tears as they told of their conversions and how much the gospel meant to them. Experiences like this we never had in Idaho. They are choice and tender.
