Do we have enough Bread, Eggs and Milk?

Hey everyone!

This week we finally got snow...  On Tuesday we heard some members
talking about how we were going to wake up with snow on the ground, and
someone even said, "Make sure you have enough food to last you a
while."  The four missionaries who were there when she said that all
just laughed at that statement because we were all from Utah, and heck
no snow is gonna slow us down... Then we woke up...

Oh, my goodness, guys, I have been humbled!  You see, Utah has a few
things that Tennessee doesn't have.  1) Snow plows, and 2) (besides
the mountains) flat ground. We had a special missionary devotional
that was broadcast all over the world, and we had to go to the church
for that. Our church is usually less than five minutes away from where
we live, but it took us a half an hour to get there.  But hey, on the
way there, Sister Johnson and I pushed a lady's car up the hill.  The
first thing we saw when we got there was one elder outside shoveling
because they only had one shovel for the entire church.  A few elders
came out a few minutes later with salt.  Table salt!  Shake that snow
away! Just so ya'll know, it does still work if you are very
persistent on a small patch.  Salt is salt....  Only about a third or
fourth of our zone was able to get to the church for the broadcast.
Good on the elders who walked the whole way.  After the broadcast we
watched a few elders do donuts in the parking lot because honestly,
what else were we supposed to do?.... Then we went home and cried....
Well no, not quite, we just went crazy, so close enough.

Thursday the roads were a little better, but still only enough to get
to the church.  We didn't want to sit in our apartment and go crazy
all alone, so we went to the church to go crazy with other
missionaries who were lucky enough to be able to get there.  When the
roads were doing a little better, we got a text from President Griffin
telling us to stock up on gas and groceries.  We got some gas and then
we looked in our fridge.  We were doing good with food, so we went to
Walmart and stocked up on games.  I bought Mad Gab and Uno.  Sister
Johnson got Bounce Off and Phase 10.  We were prepared.  Together we
were unbeatable!  No amount of snow could stop this duo!... We also
got brownie points with all the elders that were hibernating at the
church, and I really do like brownies.

Finally, we were free!  We finally got out to see Beverly, and it went
really well. She just keeps on progressing!  Just like we all should
do even if we are already baptized.

Anyway, I hope the snow in Utah isn't slowing anyone down like it is
here.  I'm sure it's not....  Hope ya'll have a swell week!

Sincerely, Sister Shelton

p.s. I can't believe I forgot to say this last week, but I finished
the Book of Mormon for the second time last week, and now I'm on to the
New Testament!
