IT SNOWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone! So if you read the title to this email, you could infer that it SNOWED!!! And you best believe I was running around like a giddy wee schoolgirl! Haha it was great!! Even if it was flapping cold. But hey I'll take it if I get to see snow! And I had another white Christmas moment as well, JOHN GOT BAPTISED!! I'm so glad I got to be apart of the amazing process he went through these last few weeks! So as you can assume, this week has been amazing! 

We started off the week with a CRAZY All-Scotland conference. Most conferences are crazy spiritual... this one just got lit! We started off like normal, and had a little instruction, then we went and got lunch. Then things got crazy. We split off into groups of districts, and we all made skits for BOM stories, and they were hilarious! We had a fight night, a guy try to do a backflip and land on his neck (Yes he's ok), a big Tongan Elder tackle about 6 Elders at once, a man in a monkey suit getting bananas thrown at him, and me and Elder Allen going back to freshman year by acting out west side story! So all in all, it was great! We then played a bunch of Minute to Win it games zone against zone, and that got pretty heated haha! We then finished by watching Moana!! I had forgotten what a real movie looked like at this point. It was an awesome conference, and nice to take some time and have fun! The rest of the week then flew by! We met with John a few times getting him ready for the baptism, and did a lot of finding! We were also able to go on exchanges on Friday, and I was with Elder Fehoko! He's  big happy Elder from Tonga, and it was so awesome to serve with him for the day! We then had the baptism Saturday!! It was so amazing, and the spirit was there so strong! His wife was also able to come, and it was really neat to see her there considering she was kinda against him joining from the start. After the baptism we went and had pizza night!! It was so good, and a good way to celebrate the baptism! John was then confirmed Sunday by the bishop here. And what a blessing!! HE told John in the blessing that events would happen that would allow him and his family to be together for eternity! We're so excited to keep working with John, and to see him continue progressing!! I love you all, and hope you have an amazing week!! D&C 64:25!
