Ice storm? - Jack's email from Alaska

Yo everyone! This week was actually pretty cool not gonna lie. We had not a Ton of success but the lessons we were able to have were really powerful and awesome. It snowed here for like a week straight last week and then it rained so all the roads are like just ice so we just got to hope for the best when driving haha. But let's get into the week.

 Tuesday 1/13: we had district council today so that was hecka cool. We always have fun at district council. Did a little bit of stop bys at the end of the day and had dinner at a fire couples house who have served missions so that was cool.

 Wednesday 1/14: Today we had to give a blessing to someone after service. So we did some service and Gave the lady a blessing. We also ended up shoveling some snow for this lady today. We had dinner with this fire family so that was awesome.

Thursday 1/15: we did some early morning basketball and that was fun. We then did weekly planning today so it felt like we were calling and texting for just hours. We then helped this lady with shoveling and she was yapping oh my some people jus need to stop talking every once in awhile. But we had a lesson with the other missionaries and then we had dinner at this families house who is lit. We then went to an inactives house to share a message but the dad kinda shut us down when we asked about them not coming to church.

Friday 1/16: today I went on an exchange with one of the zls. I went into their area for the day which was honestly so fun. We did a lot of contacts and this was the day the ice was insane. So we had to slide down a driveway legit. But it was a hecka fun day.

Saturday 1/17: I was on another exchange with the DL and he came into our area. So we actually had a ton of lessons today and some fell through sadly. But we had one with this couple and they kinda bashed us? But like also not really just because they are so nice. We had a dinner but it wasn't very good dinner for the most part. 

Sunday 1/18: we had only 1 hour of church due to septic lines being frozen so that was not good at all. We came home after talking with the members and had the biggest headache of my life. We had dinner at this older couples house but they never make bad food so I wasn't worried and it was fireeeee.

Monday 1/19: we had interviews with president so that was awesome. We had to give blessings to the sister missionaries today too. We went tracting for the first time in awhile too. We then had a fire biscuits and gravy dinner. Pretty good day.

2 Nephi 25:23: 

23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do
