Minnesota Weather

Friends and family ask us how Scott is coping with the winter weather in Minnesota. It's such a drastic change from the winter weather he is used to in Las Vegas. This is what he said in his last letter, "The weather is not really getting me down. It’s really not that hard to live in, well if you’re smart about it." Hopefully both Elder Nelson and Elder Hadfield are "smart about it!"

Well, it looks like the Elders continue to drive in the cold. I hope they are careful!

It also looks like the snow provides service opportunities.

And opportunities for fun. Gosh, I wonder what Scott's reminiscing about?
Only his father would know the answer to that question!

Well, maybe his brother, brother-in-laws, close friends would have a pretty good idea, too.

Happy New Year

Do you ever wonder what missionaries do on New Year's Eve?

This is Scott's description of his New Year's Eve celebration. "I did go to bed at my normal time, but I spent my New Year's Eve differently. Elder Hadfield and I went to an old folks home and played bingo with them. It was so much fun! We play bingo with them once a week for service. I love to talk with them and hear all their stories. They always make us feel so welcome there, so it's nice. "
