Hey everyone!

  This week was ok, we had a lot of people cancel on us this week so we werent able to teach as much as we would of liked. A few of the days we had all of our lessons cancel on us, but we were able to see sister Hansen, Kate and Rebecca this week. 

  Rebeccas doing good, we taught her right after church and we taught her about the gospel of Jesus Christ. We tried putting her on date for baptism but we werent able to, she has to look at her schedule and see what shes got going on. She said it will probably be mid December though.  But shes still doing super good, she already asked a member if they would like to be the one to baptize her, shes just super solid.

  We read a few more chapters with sister Hansen this week, were still in the isaiah chapters but I think were almost to the end of them, so thats good. It was funny how ister Hansens husband summed up isaiah, he said that in the book of isaiah and in the isaiah chapters theres only a couple things it talks about or that you can get out of it. He said the only thing you can get out of them or that they really talk about is that if you keep the commandments and live a righteous life youll be happy and prosper, but if you break the commandments and dont live righteously heavenly father will stomp you into the mud puddle. haha it was pretty funny when he said it, it might not be as funny over the email though.

  Last night we saw Kate, we taught her about the 10 commandments. It was good, she had alot of questions that we were able to clear up. She understanding what we teach her and she enjoys learning about the gospel. Its fun to teach her, since she doesnt have any religious background its nice because she doesnt have any biases or anything about doctrine or anything about religion. 

  One of the senior couples in the mission went around and did a cleaning check on our apartment while we werent there, and we passed with flying colors, so that was good. The hike at Eklutna lake last monday was good, its a pretty sweet place. Ive been to Eklutna to try and meet with some less active members before but never to the lake out there, its like a 30 or 45 minute drive to get out there so we havent been out there too much. There was a general priesthood meeting for our stake last night, it was good. They talked about how the duty to God program, they called it the duty to God pathway, is a tool to help the young men progress to become a missionary and all that good stuff, and not just another program to get an award from. They also talked about quoroms and how they altogether act like a gear system in a car, its too long to email but basically how when they all work the way they should individually and together they help the church move forward the way it should. It was a good meeting, and they had ice cream afterwards and gave us all the left over gallon tubs of ice cream. They gave us like 5 tubs and 5 things of chocolate syrup. So were gonna be distributing some of that to other missionaries so we dont get super fat from it, we already gave one of the gallon tubs and things of chocolate syrup to Kate and the family shes staying with. One down 3 more to go. It sounds like you guys are staying plenty busy, thats awesome that you guys got a bunch of snow, you have more than we do right now haha. Thats good that Avery got a 4.0, thats pretty dang good. And thats awesome that Brolin was able to get some merit badges done too. And Im glad that everyone is staying busy and doing good. 

   Transfers are going to be the week after Christmas this year, last year they were right before Christmas. But transfers are two days before Thanksgiving haha, so it'll be interesting to see if I get transferred, I find out this saturday if I stay or leave. And I did get your letter asking specific questions, I'll probably get that sent out to you today sometime or tomorrow, haha I keep forgetting to send that back to you.

   Well, hopefully you guys have a wonderful peachy week and have fun in the snow, and hopefully it'll stick too! Love you guys!

 Love Elder Roney
