Everything is going great here. We've begun teaching a less-active, part-member family this past week.  I can see great things happening for them if they keep the commitments that they have made. I'll keep you updated on it. It was actually the first lesson that My companion and I taught together.  I feel like I didn't do all I could to help her feel prepared. She is not at all a shy person. But she said very little during the lesson, even though I gave her several very long pauses. I think that is something we'll practice. She just needs to be confident that she knows this stuff!

We haven't been able to get ahold of anyone else. That has been frustrating. :(

It snowed today... literally just when I thought Reno wouldn't see another flake of snow! But the sun did come out and it's all gone now and fortunately it didn't kill all the blossoming trees! That would have make me sad! Reno is really beautiful in its own unique way. Especially this part of town. We definitely don't live in a poor part of town! The neighborhoods are so beautiful and the houses are very well kept. Every yard has trees in it too serving as shade and something nice to look at :p we have a lot of trees here that have these beautiful pink flower blossoms on them. But I have no idea what kind of tree it is. they're just everywhere! Not as much sage brush here as Elko either. And that's probably because more of the land is actually developed here. This is a huge city to me. But it seems small when you're on a bike and you only cover one itty bitty section.

Love you!!
