Rain, mud and blessings!

We had a wonderful week!  We got to meet Nancys mom from El Salvador!  Discovered that the missionaries there had been  visiting her there!  All 4 of their family came to church today and the ward was very welcoming!  Nancys cute baby received a blessing from 2 brothers at church today.  We took the Sisters to meet the awesome Dent and Fox families!   Pauline surprised us and tore up her cigarettes and threw away her ashtray after our lesson with her on Thursday!  She had Elder Quincy give her a blessing. We have FHEs with 2 families this week!  Its been too long!  Fortino gave his first talk Sunday and it was awesome! Our great friend Duke in Texas also gave his first talk today!  We got to share chili with a couple of people this week.  We finished fixing the Elders apartment.  Now it's time to inspect again. 
Our new zone is lots of fun and a great group of missionaries!
This is the first grass we'd seen for 4 months!

Ready to paint the Elders wall!


And painted!

Snow almost off the balcony!

We walked arou d the pond!


A cool building in Marshalltown. 

There was a little ice to walk through, but passable! 

And Tada! Snowless!

Lots of rain caused some flooding and a few closed roads!

We had Lots of new missionaries in our zone!


Lunch at Texas Roadhouse after Zone Council.



We took Paul to the retina specialist.

His left eye has this hole in the retina.  The good news is it's treatable. 2 good brothers gave him a blessing at church today.

The river is overflowing into neighboring corn fields.

Buds on trees!


2 days later no more ice on our pond path!
