Ice Rain and a Baptism

The weather down here was nothing like snow, and more snow like you got in Utah, but it has been cold and there has been ice rain. The people down here had like .01 inches of snow/ice rain on the ground and they were driving 10 mph and I was just cruising, because I know how to drive in it. I thought it was so funny. The people also do not like going outside in the cold either. We went tracting on Saturday, and no one would let us in because it was so cold. They would tell us to go home and be warm. This one lady wouldn't even open her door, and she told us to get out of the ice. Also my companion isn't used to ice so we were walking and he was going so slow because he didn't want to slip and fall and I was just trucking along, walking normal, because I am used to it. Besides that, we didn't have anything crazy happen. It has just been so cold haha.

But on Sunday we had a Baptism. Paul Irby is his name, and he is one of the kindest men I have met. So his story is that he has been going to church with this family for over a year, and in October he asked this lady how he could be baptized, so she called the sister missionaries. They taught him everything, but the boundaries changed and we inherited him with about 3 weeks before his baptism. It was such a blessing to be able to finish off his teaching and help him be baptized. There was such a great spirit there, and I loved it so much. Hopefully I can help some more people be baptized.
