Mom,
We had about 4-5 inches of snow here as well, but it has all melted now. That is awesome that Ashley got to play at a BYU game! Tell Amber to tell Josh I say Hi!
Last Tuesday,we had exchanges and the whole day just seemed to flow together. We had a lesson with a new investigator, and she had a lot of really great questions that she wanted answers to. Then at dinner that night, the members told us their stories of times when they did member missionary work. The thought I left with the was also about missionary work. It was a great day!
On Wednesday, we had district meeting and that was awesome. We talked about different ways we can find new people to teach.
On Thursday, we were fasting for a sister in our mission, who had some health problems. We also did some service for a member in the ward.
On Friday, we had a tour of our family history center. We also had a lesson with Iyonna, our new investigator, and she had read the plan of salvation pamphlet we had given her, and she pretty much taught herself the plan of salvation! It was so awesome!
On Saturday, we went to the adult session of stake conference, and it was great! I learned a lot of great things. I also saw Kim Hansen from the Beavercreek ward.
Yesterday, we had stake conference being broadcast to our building, because our stake is so big. We had 3 investigators at church too, which is the most we have gotten since I have been here! I definitely learned a lot then too! I am also doing the ward choir here. I am singing with a sister in the ward, while Sister Glaab plays the violin, and another sister plays the piano next week in Sacrament.
Today has been a pretty laid back day, but I am excited to get my package, and I am especially excited for Thanksgiving! We are eating at a member's house that we taught, our now recent convert, Jason at for Thanksgiving.
I hope everyone is doing well! Love and miss everyone lots!
Sincerely, Sister Jennifer Rose

When I woke up this morning, it was about 15 degrees and it was still snowing! we got about 5 inches of snow overnight last night.
Did you know that L. Tom Perry served in Marion, OH which is actually part of my mission, and Sister Glaab got to serve there.
This week has been pretty great!
On Monday, we did FHE with Jason and his boys, they loved it!
On Tuesday, we did a LOT of service. We helped a less-active rake the leaves out of her yard. We dug a tree out of another member's yard, and raked leaves for them as well. We also had dinner with Jason, the Gullion's (his member friends), and the Larsen's (another member couple in the ward).
On Wednesday, we had district meeting. We had dinner with a member at Olive Garden, and it was really good! I think I ate too many breadsticks though (I think I had 6 of them). We also got a new investigator ( a 15-year-old girl named Jesse).
On Thursday, we had Zone Conference, and I did a musical number with 2 other sisters and Sister Glaab. We have a car full-time now, but the missionaries we got it from, had went almost 600 miles in 12 days. The car only has 1100 miles each month, so we can only go about 16 miles a day. We also watched "The Testaments" with Jason and another family in our ward.
On Friday, we just went and saw some people, nothing too exciting.
On Saturday, we had Jason's baptism and it was awesome! I sang a musical number with Sister Glaab, Sister Johnson, and her companion, Sister King. He was beaming and smiling from ear to ear the whole time!
We also did some other service and had dinner with our ward primary president. Her family is so cute! I don't think I have ever seen a baby with more hair than her daughter has!
Yesterday, we had church and Sister Glaab gave a talk on Tithing and Fast offerings. We also had dinner with a part-member family in the ward.
Today has been a pretty lazy day.
That's awesome that Ashley got to play at a USU game! I am excited that Dad is starting at the IRS again. I sent everyone a letter today, so you should be getting it in the next few days.
Hope all is going well! LOVE AND MISS EVERYONE LOTS!!!
Love, Sister Jennifer Rose

Hey mom!
Sister Glaab is awesome and we both agree that riding bikes are horrible! We get along pretty well, and we have a lot in common.
This week we got 4 new investigators, and they are all great! We are meeting with two of them tonight!
Also, Jason, our investigator, is getting baptized this Saturday! I will send pictures next week, but I am so excited to actually have a baptism where I have taught the person getting baptized. We have taught him all of the lessons, and we are meeting with him every day this week.
I am glad to hear that Janeese is doing well, and tell her congrats on the promotion! I am also glad to hear that you all had an awesome weekend! Make sure to tell Papa I love him and that he should be getting a letter from me in the next week or so! I was so happy to see that he was happy!
This week here should be interesting. Today, we had a zone activity, and we played Jepoardy. The sisters in charge asked us all five things that no one knew about us and they made a Jeopardy game out of it. We also went to a nursing home where we sang some hymns, and it was so cute, because some of the elderly people started singing them with us!
This Thursday, we have zone conference and we are doing a special musical number. Sister Glaab is playing the piano, while me, Sister Soumphol, and Sister Dowell are singing. We are singing a combination of "Come, Follow Me", "Behold, the Great Redeemer Die", and "Sweet is the Work" all sung to the tune of "Come, Follow Me". Wish us luck.
Please continue to write me and I look forward to your next letters and package.
Love and Miss Everyone!
Keep me in your prayers please!
Love always, Sister Jennifer Rose
