Sister Van Buskirk: I Hate the Snow

Sorry everyone that I always talk about the weather out here. Tuesday was the crazy snow storm. We woke up to about 6 inches of snow and it continued to snow another 4-6 inches in our town. We weren't allowed to drive so we spent the morning making cookies for our neighbors and then the rest of the day shoveling snow. Shoveling snow is the worst. Who knew snow was so heavy! It's like 50 pounds! In the moment it wasn't too bad but that night we were exhausted and Wednesday morning we were so sore. Wednesday we had district meeting so we went to Whitehall and we drive through Allentown which is a pretty big city. Well in our little towns the roads are all nice and clear. In Allentown they aren't every good at clearing roads. I made it though! Sister Crane, the car, and I are all safe! After district meeting we helped our less active shovel her driveway. The thing about snow is you should shovel it the day it snows otherwise it freezes. It was crazy trying to shovel all that ice and snow out but she was so appreciative.

We met with Destiny and read a chapter from the Book of Mormon with her. She would like to know if there is a God but she knows it will take a long time to get that answer. We invited her to continue reading the Book of Mormon and then we taught her how to pray. Hopefully she prays this week so when we meet with her this week we can talk about her experience.

We also met with Chrystal and taught her the Restoration but we don't really know what she thought about it. She just like nodded her head and then we invited her to pray about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon and she said she would so we will see what happens.

I hope you all have a great week! I am excited to hear all of your experiences and thoughts from the Book of Mormon! Thank you to those that have shared their thoughts with me. I know the Book of Mormon is a powerful testament of Jesus Christ. I love you all!

Lots of Love!
