Here's the latest from Sister Huss!

This week was pretty amazing. We had exchanges, tornado warnings, and conference! We had exchanges this week and it is always so cool to see the miracles that come from going on exchanges. It started off with a phone call from an investigator from a part member family who is trying to get her daughter who is 8 baptized. I guess she had a pretty bad run in with a priest who told her that her daughter isn't old enough or mature enough to be baptized, she asked my opinion and if our church would baptize her if she is 8. I was so excited and told her all about it she seemed a lot more comforted and we have an appointment with them tonight to talk about it. I love getting to know other sisters better and being able to learn from them. I have learned again how the Lord has a plan for us. That me and Sister Wagher being companions is truly meant to be that our differences make us a strong companionship. I have learned so much this transfer! It has been difficult but worth it!

So for the tornadoes’ there was a huge storm on Thursday night we had been under Tornado Watch, basically just to watch out for them , but no one seemed to worried about it. We just went to sleep and when we woke up on Friday we had 3 texts about tornado warnings that we got during the night at like 11 and 12, which means that they predict or have seen a tornado in the area. We asked Sister Reveillac about it and she had said that the sirens were going off and the storm had gotten really bad. We slept through the whole thing. We are supposed to stay awake during a tornado warning but Sister Reveillac said that she knew we were really tired, and didn't want to wake us up, that the way her house is situated there is practically no way that a tornado would hit and so she just stayed awake just to make sure everything was okay. It has been super cold the past weekend it got into the 40’s, but no snow yet, we did see some golf ball sized hail though!

Conference was amazing! We watched the first session with a less active member we have been working with, then we went to Jenny, our progressing investigators house to watch the second. She had a lot of questions about how the Church was organized and who did what with the church and what everyone's jobs were. She took us out to dinner and we helped her paint her bedroom. I think that my favorite talk was Elder Holland's. Everything he said is so applicable to everyone, not just people with depression. I also really liked Elder Uchtdorff's because a lot of what he said is really helpful with the people we are trying to work with.

Thanks! Love you guys!
