We actually had a lesson with someone this week!

So this week was interesting, it was super cold, but it was really good. We were thankfully able to meet with this mother and her daughter, they have learned a lot about the church already. I was so happy when we were able to have a lesson with them, Sister Wilson invited them to baptism and the ending result or answer was "probably" so we will keep working with them. We have been challenged to invite one person to baptism per day and it is pretty fun actually, to be able to find that one person each day, and to hear their different answers. Most of them say that if they knew that it was true that they would be baptized. But a lot of them say that they have already been baptized, that's when we get to teach and testify of the priesthood. We had a super good zone conference on Tuesday. President talked about repentance and all of the different steps and it was wonderful, I really enjoyed it. He also talked about Doctrine and Covenants 58:26-27 26 "For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;" The Lord isn't going to tell us every little thing that we should or should not do, but we just need to be sure that we are always doing things for a good cause, and that we are being righteous, and not wasting away this time that we have here on this earth. I know January is usually a hard month for people. The Holidays are over and it is bitter cold, and everyone is broke, but we can still feel the love of our Savior as we repent daily and as we serve others and turn outward just like Christ always did. I hope that you all have a wonderful week and that you can look at the positive and bright side of things.
Love,
Sister Koyle

Hahaha this is my favorite picture, we were laughing so hard last night. We had dinner with the Hansen's yesterday and they were so kind to let Sister Wilson have this coat. It is a down coat and it is good up to -40 degrees. 
Sister Wilson: I'm just a blueberry
Me: No you aren't, you are a daughter of God.

We had a lot of fun slidding around on this side walk, the entire thing was just ice.
