Have had so many times this week of being so grateful for being here in Alaska! I cannot believe how beautiful it is. Driving to the temple wed morning the hoar frost was so beautiful I felt like I was in a fairy land! It was -15 but really don’t feel that cause we don’t spend time outside!
We had big nights at both institutes this week!! They stayed and visited after for a long time too! I had fruit plates and banana bread Tuesday and wheat bread Thursday. We all felt good about it! The missionaries and teachers! Some new faces! One of our YSAs ,Jacob, who is down syndrome came up to me after Tuesday and said me and my brother are gluten free. He doesn’t talk really plainly but I understood and I had forgotten! And actually it’s 4 of them and one othe girl! So I told him I would try to work on that! He said Thankyou! He is really cute so I felt bad! Caul and Craig got home this week and that made me a little sad! Not sure if I need them serving with me or if I feel left out at home now! It’s okay!! I’m a big girl!!
We had workers in and out our place all week due to our flooding problem! So we missed temple Wednesday night . I went Friday morning on a session. Gary waited for restoration guys! I also went Thursday afternoon to the group working on days for girls! Good group of members there working together! Nice to visit while we work! Friday night I was going to a school play with three of our sister missionaries but one by one backed out! It was like -23 so I stayed home and Gary and I watched Ground Hog Day!! After we walked at the mall! We go up the tower and can get a pretty good work out! My miracle for the week is I have not had a head ache in the morning all week! It’s amazing but pretty sure it’s my neck how I sleep and I got a tool where i can roll on my neck to hit pressure points that I do before I go to bed and then sleep with a rolled towel under my neck!! Cautiously optimistic, but I’ve had a headache everyday for so long it feels hopeful!
P day was great we watched games and went for a ride down Turnagain and saw amazing frozen waterfalls!! So gorgeous! 
Today had over 50 at YSA ward which felt really good! We pray constantly for these young people. We went to dinner on base with the Kuerth's and single soldiers! Sister missionaries too! Only 3 soldiers came but hope to build that too!!Gary sat and talked to one who is Jewish by race and religion! Brilliant young man from Guatemala! We leave our comfort zone often but are always glad after that we did! We are loving serving here and pray constantly for our family and loved ones at home! We love our Savior and want everyone to feel his love like we do!! Carolee
