Baby, It's Really Cold Outside

Hello everybody!

This last week was a pretty good one!
On Monday we went and did P-Day stuff, then we went over to the Sansoucies for
a new year dinner with them and their parent's and the Melby's. It was really cool and we taught
them about the importance of having Christ in the center of our faith.  After we did some really awesome contacting in Pembroke and met some really cool people. Including but not limited to: Matt, the guy that delivers Chinese food, Mark, the guy who plays in a garage band... and an Italian guy who is starting his own pizza and sub shop. They were all pretty nice.

The following Day Elder Smith went to the dentist to see about getting his filling fixed, not fun. and the day after that we drove all the way to Lebanon (NH) and that took the better part of the day with some good finding involved. Thursday the weather was so bad that the mission told us that we could not go outside. Really for any reason. we got about 12 inches of snow and single digit temperatures so we spent the better part of the day cleaning and planning. Brother Frantz, the ward mission leader, came by our apartment and gave us cookies and milk and hot cocoa. He is the ultimate man.
The day following we were still grounded and the temperatures got down to about -20 at night. Not super fun.

 On Saturday we had a normal district meeting. I talked a lot about not comparing ourselves to other missionaries. That our success is based solely on our dedication to invite others to come unto Christ.
There was a big object lesson involved too but I won't explain it for the sake of time.
We are all here living our own lives within our own capacities. The Book of Mormon says that it is not requisite that man should run faster than he [she] has strength. Our ability to do our best to live the gospel is not based on the efforts or results of anybody else.

I hope that you all have a wonderful new-year and that with the new year comes new accomplishments. 

I am so blessed to be here and I love you all so much and appreciate your constant support.


until next time!
-Elder Connor Starr
