Biking in a Winter Wonderland!

Howdy everyone, I am officially done training, so thats pretty neat.
I am staying in Charlottesville for the holidays as well. I will probably be here until mid January or so.

My new companion is Elder Replogle from Orem Utah, he has been out 1 transfer (6 weeks) longer than me, and its been interesting, to say the least haha. Neither of us really knows what were doing but I'm sure we'll figure it out sooner or later.
This week we had blitzes with the zone leaders, and Elder Replogle and Elder Turner found an awesome young family who let them in and they taught the restoration and they are about to have a baby so they said to come back after Christmas but before January 11th when their baby is due, and then they gave them a whole bag of caramel popcorn as they left. 
Elder Galloway, Elder Payne, (the zone leaders are in a trio) and I ran into a man named Larry who was recently fired from his job, when we ran into him he said, "God sent me three angels!"
we left him with 2 Nephi 2 to read and got a return appointment but he lives out of our area so the other Elders will get to teach him.

It snowed! literally the day before it was so hot, I was biking without my jacket and the next day it snowed, what the heck Virginia! And as it turns out its really hard to bike while its snowing because the little flurries pelt you in the eyeballs. then the day after all the snow melted,  but its supposed to be 17 degrees for the high this coming week and snow some more. Yay!

Thanks for all the love and prayers
