Hey! 

Sister Wagher is doing good! It's especially fun since we got snow last week! Boy was I wrong with the whole mid-December comment last week! It actually started off with freezing rain and then turned into snow later that day, very interesting and much different than Utah. The wind makes it a lot different too, especially since it rained first. So the roads were icy but then the snow came and the wind blew it everywhere and covered a lot of the ice and it is super patchy! The weather also makes it a lot more difficult as a missionary! You just have to totally change the way you work! We are making many more appointments (and praying they will actually be there for the appointments and still willing to listen) and we can't walk around and try to find people as easily as we did before. Just a lot of adjusting.
Jenny is still coming along still, investigating the Church, and reading the Book of Mormon. Transfers are this week! I honestly do think that I will be moved. I have been here a long time and I feel like I will be, but honestly you never know! It's weird because this week when thinking I might be leaving, it really just made me realize how much I love the people in this area so so much! It will be hard to leave whether it's this transfer or another.
We have been asked to do a lot more with the youth lately. The MTC night a couple weeks ago and then last week we were asked to come to Young Women's for the dinner they were having and to help talk about Personal Progress. I think it helps them realize how important these things are because they see a missionary that is barely 19 and just graduated high school. It makes things much more real. We also were asked to teach seminary this week. I am so glad that I had release time! Having it at 5:30 am is so early! And we had travel time so we really had to wake up at 4:30 am! But we were able to ride with a young woman in the ward, Sister Reveillac's granddaughter, but she is living with her dad who is less active and her step-mom who is not a member. Her step-mom drove so we were able to answer a lot of her questions about the Church, and she was able to see us in a different light than the 'scary missionaries that just want to dunk people'. Haha. 

Have a great Thanksgiving! Drive safe and have fun! Love you!
