Goodbye Texas Winter, hello summer!


January 7, 2013

So it has been cold everywhere I think because we have been freezing here, although it never got below 48. :) But it was that type of rain that is just a constant drizzle for days and bites your skin and is SUPER windy. Yes I may or may not have worn my running pants, then my tights, then running shorts, THEN my skirt and I may or may not have worn TWO skirts to church yesterday. I will neither confirm nor deny the previous statements. But it was funny because yesterday Elder Cullen just looks at me with a face of disgust and says Sister Giles, are you really wearing two skirts? LAY OFF ME I'M FREEZING! But today is a balmy 60 so I'm back to just a skirt and shirt. Goodbye Texas Winter, hello summer!

Yesterday we had a great day at church. The English and Spanish wards switched so that was weird to get use to but it was great because we had an awesome guy at church yesterday named JJ. He wore a suit and slippers. It was AWESOME! He is a really cool guy we met on Saturday and he is super interested. Apparently in priesthood meeting yesterday he got up and said how much he liked our church and that he knew the BOM is true and that the church he was going to just made him confused but here he felt like he got all his answers. SUPER COOL!

Sorry my email is going to be short today because I emailed David. I'm still figuring it out how to do both because if I say I am going to handwrite either one of you, we all know things come up and I never get around to it. But today I will because I know I won't have time to write everything I want to.

Mom-Thanks for your quotes and scriptures, I love them and they provide a lot of really great support for me. Times have been a little rough lately but we’re working on it. I'll write you more in a letter.

I love you all so much and I want you to know that I know this church is true. Some many missionaries spend their days trying to convince people that the church is true and that the Book of Mormon is true. The truth is, we don't have to do that. The Book of Mormon testifies of itself. It proves itself every single time. All we have to do is read it and declare of its truth and let the Spirit testify. What a powerful tool we have!
