I didn't hear from her for several days
DUE to the SNOW, again!
But all is well and happy in her world.
She sounds as amazing as ever.
PLEASE take a moment and watch the video below that she has shared for you...
My hope is to one day live up to being just this kind of person.
It's pretty fantastic when you have kids who push you to be more and to be better.
Now on to Danielle's letter ~
16 snow days for the Carroll county schools...
and mind you that doesn't even count weekends!
I'd completely lost track of how many snow days we've had, but someone reminded us on Monday night! Add in a few more (for the days the schools didn't count) and that's where we're at for the year! YUCK!
Where is the springtime???
Hopefully it'll be just around the corner :)
I keep hearing about how everything blooms in the spring, and I can hardly wait to see it all. They talk a lot about the cherry trees.
Those are suppose to be amazing.
This week has been pretty fun!
We had Sisters Conference last week.
There are 90 of us in the mission, which is a TON of sisters!
Then we had Stake Conference.
AND THEN Zone Training this week.
AND THEN Zone Training this week.
All kinds of meetings! But they have been good.
On Friday we are going to go to the DC Temple Visitors center and then have dinner at Cafe Rio! We are so excited to go. We're going with the Schneider family. Brother Schneider has been a member for 5 years, and their 9 year old is baptized, but Sister Schneider hasn't joined the church yet. The sisters tried to teach her when Andy first joined, but she wasn't interested in having them over, but within the last year, she's been coming to church every week and staying for all three hours.
Sister Anderson and I have become really good friends with her, and she started letting us come over to teach her, and she is making so much progress in the gospel. A week ago, we taught her the Word of Wisdom (which she already knew,) and she had a lot of questions about Green Tea and why we couldn't drink it. But she decided that she would pray about it and committed to live it. Later on, we talked about the importance of keeping the Sabbath day holy, and she talked about how hard that can be at times, but she also committed to live that.
WELL, fast forward a few days later:
We went to Stake Conference with their family
(her first time ever going to one!)
and Sister Anderson and I were on kid duty.
We had to keep them busy so that she could listen.
It was fun :)
but then afterwards we went to her mothers house to have lunch and do some yard work. While we were at lunch, her mom gave us this sparkling juice stuff, and then walked out of the room. Kamryn (their 9 year old) rushed over to us and told us, "DON'T DRINK THAT!" and then grabbed the bottle to show us that it had 3% green tea extract. Then she told us that she watched her mom check the labels of all the drinks in the house and dump out all of them that had tea in them. So cool!! Then later, we were out doing yard work and ran out of black bags. Her sister, who was also there helping, kept telling Sister Schneider that she should just go to the store and buy more,
"We can't go to the store on Sundays! We're Mormons!"
Her sister then agreed that, "Fine, I'll go get them."
"Ahh... I can see the blessings already."

Hahaha. She is so funny.
This is basically one of the best videos you'll ever watch.
So you should probably look into watching it.
It reminds me of the type of person I want to become and that one of the reasons Christ came was to be an example for us. It's super short, and it might even change your life. So for real, watch it.
Other than that, my life has been pretty great :)
we're just waiting for the sun to come out
and trying not to freeze to death in the meantime :)
Love ya all! Have a great week!
Sister Lytle
