This is Elder Hill from the Great White North. We have had some record-breaking temperatures here. One morning really early it was -57 Celsius with wind chill. The air itself was frozen and you couldn't breathe. It was like that for two days. It's a little better today, but still super cold. It's supposed to get better tomorrow. I've never seen it get so cold in my entire existence!
We weren't allowed to be outside because it was too cold, so we did a lot of inside stuff like "area books" and "tasks" and "my plan" which was a ton of fun. Most of the week we had that.
In other news, someone was counting the days I have left, like seven, and I'll see you in about a week! Does someone know what -57 Celsius is in Fahrenheit?
We've done a lot of good work. We put somebody on date while we were inside and texting people. We texted this guy we've been meeting with and invited him to the B family's baptism, which happened and it was awesome. There were 71 people there that were really supportive. we had a lot of really sugary stuff afterwards and it was a good time.
We were inviting a lot of people to the baptism and invited this guy C. He texted back and said "I've never been baptized before", so we asked him, "Would you like to be?" And he said "Yeah!" We said, "How about this day?" And he said "Yeah, that would be great!" That was awesome.
Other than that, the work has been as usual, walking around since there are four of us and one car, talking to people and preaching the gospel. It's been the best time of my life. I wouldn't trade these two years for anything. They were the best! I love you guys!
