snowed out

there is this much snow in belge. roughly two centimeters worth. it was negative five celcius today. brrrr.

on our drive to the meetinghouse this evening, we got word that the meeting where i was to teach salsa to the combined youth was cancelled because of the snow. i don't speak french and i don't really salsa, so i was pretty much okay with the cancellation. were it not for the joy that comes from being with the saints i'd be thrilled:)

since we were already out, we drove around to see the way europeans do christmas lights.


i can't believe it's december first. 


"Love is what inspired our Heavenly Father to create our spirits; it is what led our Savior to the Garden of Gethsemane to make Himself a ransom for our sins. Love is the grand motive of the plan of salvation; it is the source of happiness, the ever-renewing spring of healing, the precious fountain of hope. As we extend our hands and hearts toward others in Christlike love, something wonderful happens to us. Our own spirits become healed, more refined, and stronger. We become happier, more peaceful, and more receptive to the Holy Spirit."
Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Mare- I miss you. I found myself yesterday wanting to sit down on a couch and talk with you for hours. We would look at each other's journals and talk about the past and the future. I love you. I hope you're doing well. So much love.

P.S.- Do you get Becca's e-mails? If so, would you mind forwarding them to me? My e-mail is ellerybaum@hotmail.com. xoxo.
