Hello! Katelynn's birthday is one of the few that I do remember. Hers and mom's. I sent them both a card, but they will be late. It would be nice to have a list of all the other birthday's perhaps haha as, for some reason, I have a harder time remembering those. The weather here has indeed been cold and awful. It snowed a little bit, but not too much. The air is wet, so there is really no point in having layers as the cold just soaks through. Its hard to keep warm out here, so people just stay inside...unless you're a missionary. They were having black ice warnings the other day, so they called us and told us the cars were grounded. I thought they told that to everyone, but it was just us apparently...its because I'm from Arizona. This week was hard. They always are, but Friday everything kinda went down hill for the fam bam. We went early that morning to do some wedding stuff, but Scott still has his "demons" and long story short, the wedding has been put off until they can get things figured out. Its hard when half the family is ready to get baptized, but there is one person holding them back. So yeah the wedding wont happen while I am here, but I keep getting the quiet reassurance in my head that it will and eventually they will be sealed too. Its just a longer road for them. We got to have a heart to heart with Amie though so that was really cool. The elders watched the kids at the church while we talked in the foyer and made fun of us when they come out and we are all crying haha. girls. Amie sure is prepared for this though. Those kids too. Scott is just a hard nut to crack. I'm going to miss them a lot. We had a really solid investigator that we handed over to the elders too. I had the impression that if we did that, as he really looks up to elder shurtz, that we would be blessed with our other investigators...then all that stuff with the fam bam happens. Not what I had in mind, but having the elders teach him will be a lot better for Marcus. They only got to the part of the restoration that says God blessed us with families, and he said he wanted to be baptized. He is a really good kid, but I feel like that is going to be a long road too. The people we teach here all have things they have to overcome that take a lot of time, but ultimately it changes their lives. haha Elder Madden! Tell Grandma to tell Sister Madden that Sister Harris said that Elder Madden is a great missionary! I will find out if I get transferred on Saturday. I feel like I will be, but you never know. Love you!
p.s. I got the valentines package and I got my big chocolate heart! I thought it was just solid chocolate at first, but then i broke it open and it was peanut butter! Its like y'all know me or something.
