It was cold today

Hello All:

It's 8pm and I just got home from service. Mike is still at the prison. He should be home soon then we will be going to our cleaning account. We had a 27 people at the morning meeting for field service. Mike and I walked in this morning in the back school where we have our meetings for field service and there was only like 3 seats available out of 20 chairs or something. This week all of our meetings for field service have been tailored around the Memorial. Mike brought out some good points from the Reasoning Book on Page 263 under the Subject Mass and subheading What did Jesus mean when he said this means my body... 

We then made our car groups and went our separate ways. My car group wanted to do driving territory because it was so cold. It started snowing today and it got down to 20 and a crazy cold windchill that felt like 1 degree!!!! We did a few houses and got back in the van to warm up. It was fun. We have a sister visiting from San Juan Capistrano. She is visiting her son here in Marquette and came to the meeting last night. She was out in service all day with us. She speaks little english but we were able to communicate via Ashley Whorely she is a a new sister in our hall from Virginia.  She used to be in the spanish.

All and all it was a super fun day.

Love you all,

Mike & Ty

The Ice is Melting... maybe an early spring!

AAAAHHHHH!!!! sorry guys it has been too long since my last post but we have been busy. We had a nice visit to California we loved seeing everyone and sad we couldn't spend time with some of you. When we came back to Marquette we were expecting a blizzard but the snow was melting. So we might have a freakishly early spring. YAAAAAYYYY!
We came back March 8th and went out in service March 9. Everyone was glad we came back :))) 
 
Today we stayed home to catch up on some things. We had to take our car in to get the wheel bearings replaced. We are borrowing Forrest and Ashley Whorley's Jeep Cheerokee. It's a nice Jeep. Mike likes driving it. It has tinted windows and is kinda lifted with big tires. Mike puts his shades on and suddenly he is too cool for school. I'll have to get a picture of him driving it.

Service wise things have been great! There has been a lot of activity in our cong. On Tuesday and Thursday we have 4 meetings for field service. 9:30, 12:30, 4:00 and 6:00pm. We have had people at all four meetings! When 6 rolls around we just about spent and more show up for the last haul. Last night I didn't get home till 7:45 from a study. We have so much fun out in service. So many have bible studies. One brother who might be losing his job is considering pioneering. We have had a lot of nice response to the memorial invitations. A few friends have said that some householders have said they will come. One college student we encountered stumbled to the door half asleep. We gave her the invitation and she took it and smiled thanked us and as we turned to walk away she stopped us and said "what time is it again and where"? it was great.

Next big event special talk and our special assembly day. I'll try to be better about keeping you posted.

love, Mike and Ty
