Hi family!
It's been colder than cold again here. It's currently about 5 degrees but the weather-number we call promised it'll get up to 12 today! Apparently, the couple days of 30s and 40s we had were just a part of the "January Thaw", which was running late, I guess. People promise us it'll start warming up soon - probably mid-April. :)
Church was great yesterday, although our two recent converts were out of town and still unable to receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. I talked to them on the phone last night, though, and they promised they'd be there next week, especially since it will be my last Sunday in Oscoda. We had our Branch Conference yesterday, so we had a lot of good instruction from the Midland Stake leaders. The Stake President talked about the story of Christ walking on the water and His gentle chastisement of Peter really stuck out to me: "O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" I guess he could have been saying it to me.
Not a whole lot of excitement this week. We had trade-offs with the West Branch-Houghton lake Elders again, which was fun. I got to know Elders Buck and Darley a bit better. We walked past the beach so they could see it nice and frozen. I've included a couple pictures.
The Elder on the ice-bubble is Elder Buck.
We received a report from President Jones (via email) today on the results of our "30 in February" quest. We had 26 baptisms last month, just shy of our goal, but a significant improvement over previous years. He's asked us to push for a new goal of 35 in April, which should be good.
I'm excited for transfer calls this Friday so I'll know where I'll be going. I'm glad things are going well for you.
Love you all,
Elder Cloward
