Snow!!!!

Ok so i know i said i was kinda excited to come back to Canada and be cold again but really i wasn't counting on being in 2 feet of snow. There is a big difference between the two especially considering i now have to put a hoodie on when it hits 20. + 20 i mean. I know i'm such a wimp now. Oh well what do i have to complain about, i'm not the one who has to work in it. haha.

The month is flying by so fast. It's been a lot of fun pioneering this month and it's help me to be able to stray from my rehearsed presentation and start adding things off the top of my head. Believe me, for me that is a big step in Spanish. Everyone is thankful for the invitation. It neat to see people siting and reading it when you are walking back out of the territory. Every once in a while you see it pinned to a door or a wall. Maybe with it being in the new hall we'll have more then normal. It's amazing what a witness the new hall is in it's self. What's cool to see to is the amount of def people that are being found in the territory. There were some visitors here from the US a little while back that knew sign and were finding def people in town. Now the problem is they have gone home so we are down to one sister that knows some sign (not sure how much) and one sister learning sign. The cool thing is that they use American sign language here but the hard part is that the def ones in town know very little sign so you almost have to teach them as you go. The thing is. now i have an urge to learn sing language. I might have to get you to give me a crash course when i get home Nikki. They say it's easier to learn a language if you learn two at the same time so i wonder if sign language would count. Why not add more thing to my plate. ;-)

Well speaking of service, we planned on going out for a full day today but we woke up to pouring rain. Guess we'll wait it out for a little while and see if it blows over. It already sounds like it's slowing down.

Just like home there has been lots of requests for haircuts this week. With the memorial on sunday and us leaving next saturday, everyone is trying to get in one more. No matter where you are, girls will be girls. haha.

I can't believe we are coming home in a week. The past 7 months have gone so fast. The nice part is we have our place here for the next year and we're leaving Pica here so we know we are coming back. It makes it much easier to leave when you know when you are returning. We're so thankful that we are able to leave Pica here. Not that we want to but her flight would have cost way more then one of ours. It's crazy.

The rain is almost stopped now so i better get up and get my but in gear.
