My new companion is Sister aka Hermana Peterson, I have another Spanish companion. No we really don't teach any Spanish at all. I came out in the field with her, like she was in the group that came out with me, so we have kinda been together before but to be honest I really didn't know her at all until now.

 I LOVE my new area. Seriously it's the best. It reminds me a lot of Eastland and this place is so prepared you'll read about it a little bit more :) 

The only interaction with Elders are when we have our reporting call and during district meeting. haha our district literally consists of us and them and we have to travel 2 hours to get there. haha oh and we have our zone conferences where I will probably see quite a few. OH AND NEXT WEEK ELDER BALLARD AND WHITNEY L CLAYTON ARE COMING SO THE ENTIRE MISSION IS GETTING TOGETHER. This will be the 2 Apostle I get to meet as a missionary! Crazy!! I am so excited!!

This past Saturday was actually really really really cold. of course we were on our bikes that day too. I thought my toes had disappeared but at the same time I knew they were still there because my I had hit the point where after they went numb they just hurt. Yea I think that was my coldest day as a missionary well at least being in the cold. I kept telling myself you can do it you can do it you're not just any missionary. you're an Allart missionary. if you were an any missionary you wouldn't see the miracles. go find the miracle there has to be one here. It was one of the rougher days BUT it had to be BECAUSE NORMA LOPEZ GOT BAPTIZED THAT DAY!!!! She also got confirmed that sunday :) Sister Hayward told me. Love her so much. well Norma and Sister Hayward. 

Did I ever tell you that I memorized the Living Christ!!! Anyways...

This week was INSANE. We found this INCREDIBLE FAMILY!!!!! The Hayts. literally so prepared. We've taught them the first 3 lessons now and basically the word of wisdom because they brought it up when we were teaching the plan of salvation. LITERALLY AMAZING. The first 3 lessons in one week. We knocked into them 3 days after they moved to Childress. Literally insane I still can't believe it. They all have a baptismal date for March 24. Well expect for the baby she's one but Brylee Ryan (mom and dad) and landon and kayden all have dates. AH and Landon said "I felt goosebumps when you asked us so be baptized" They literally turned to their mom and was like "Can we be baptized too mom?" Oh my. And Ryan was gone when the invitation was extended but when he came home Brylee turned to him and was like this is what they taught us today (holding up a gospel of Jesus Christ pamphlet) I'm going to go over this with you tonight  turns to us is that okay?  yea that's fine! Our family is planning on getting baptized on march 24th will you do it with us? Ryan: yea sure

Brylee literally invited her entire family to be baptized. THEY ARE SO PREPARED!!!!! We were teaching the plan of salvation and ryan and the kids and step mom were like yea were going to make it here pointing to he terrestial and telestial kingdoms and brylee was like well I'm making it here pointing to the celestial kingdom and you better be there with me! She turned to Ryan and was like all you have to do is the 5 things you can do that. Oh man I LOVE THIS FAMILY. Please keep them in your prayers. With how prepared they are Satan is going to hit them hard. 

Anyways I better get going I love y'all so much don't forget to smile cause it's a great day! :)
