November 14, 2016 ☃️"Winter is Coming"❄️

Yes ladies and gents, it is upon us, the beauties and comfort of warm
weather has left us like Selena Gomez leaving Justin Bieber and we are
instead left with the shiverings and cold of the beginnings of winter.
It's really humid here in Kentucky so the cold cuts through whatever
you are wearing like a hot stick of butter through a knife (except the
butter is cold...doesn't make sense does it😆)! These city people,
especially the college kids, aren't as kind anymore so I just take
stacks of pass along cards and throw 'em in their faces!!! Just
kidding I can't do that. But I can't complain, I have gotten snowed on
yet so life is still good! Elder Conlin has been lightening the mood
by contacting people on the street in a British accent...and all of
them think he's from U.K.!!! So it's pretty funny to see a bunch of
college kids kinda look like "who the heck is this guy" when he does
that 😂

Well, this week has actually been a toughie, we haven't taught anyone
for a couple weeks and it's  pretty tough when you don't have anyone
to see. I read a talk by Elder Cook of the 12 apostles today and this
section stuck out to me "Adverse results in this mortal life are not
evidence of lack of faith or of an imperfection in our Father in
Heaven’s overall plan. The refiner’s fire is real, and qualities of
character and righteousness that are forged in the furnace of
affliction perfect and purify us and prepare us to meet God." There
are many days I have a hard time imagining why Heavenly Father would
allow life to be so hard, but this quote helped me out a lot. We may
not know everything, but we know enough to keep on persevering. I wish
I could help each one of you with whatever you might be going through,
but this is about all I can do. There is someone who loves y'all more
than me, and He gave His precious blood so He could help each one of
us, personally, through our trials. I know He loves you and wants to
help you, do what you can to each out to Him and He will help you!

I love y'all God Bless,

Elder Crow
