Transfered to Beaver

Stacey was transfered to Beaver, Utah the first of March. Here is some of her experiences:
"Beaver is a Bilingual area so I will be teaching in English for the first time and of course Spanish also. My new companion is Hermana Morales who is from Atlanta, GA but was born in Mexico so she is bilingual. We are teaching about 70% in English and 30% in Spanish. Beaver is really smallville where everyone knows everyone....So here you are really active or really less active. There are only a few non-members who are more than likely spanish speaking or from Thailand. We cover the entire Beaver County. Milford, Minnersville, Beaver and a few other spots on the map. This is our basic schedule: Monday P-Day in Beaver, Tuesday drive to Milford, Wed in Milford until dinner. Thur DTM in Panguitch and weekly planning, Friday in Beaver, Sat morning and night in Beaver, afternoon in Minnerville or Milford. Sunday attend one of the english wards and try to make it to the Spanish branch."
Tuesday we got a foot of snow in less than 3 hours. Here's some pictures of my adventures so far:I was so happy I had knee high boots & the snow still got in.

Nice view of the world of Beaver all white...


Our poor car was buried and all we had was a little ice scraper and a broom...

Look I really did drive in a foot of snow. I'm getting pretty good at that.....

The Blizzard at night......
Hna Morales and Me going crazy because of the snow....

Hanging out at the diner in Milford......
Meet my new friend. We sleep in his room in Milford at the Carter's home.....
A full view of the big guy....
The full shot of the room. Sister loved her pretty "fern" rug when she first bought it. But now she knows what it is and hides it in the basement spare room.
We are teaching a cool couple, Karen takes lots of notes and Lester even has a new "uniform" for church. They are getting baptised on Mar 26th if they pass their interviews & stop smoking. We are teaching a lot of less actives and their non-baptised children. And tracking in the trailer parks has been really interesting. We don't go after dark...No worries... The work progresses and we are having an adventure!"
