Dear Family,
Once again it was a VERY cold week! It’s the worst when we knock on doors,
someone answers, and our faces are so frozen that we can hardly move our
lips. We tried getting some video
interviews of people talking about their New Year’s Resolutions, and we got a
few, but not too many people wanted to do that.
It was quite sad as many of the people we talked to said they don’t set
any resolutions anymore because everyone breaks them, so there’s no point. Too bad!
New Year’s Day turned out a whole lot better than I
thought. We went to an area where the
missionaries have seldom gone, called
Wellington, which has a strong French culture, and we did some knocking. It was SO cold that Elder Urick and I were
talking how some big blessing was being built from this experience. Sure enough, there was! A French man let us right in and we had a
good lesson. He even set up a return
appointment. There was a lot of
revelation received during that lesson regarding what to ask and what to
say. It was amazing!
In the evening we went back to the Filipinos’ house to teach
them…and there were TWO MORE people who wanted to learn more, so now we have
EIGHT investigators in one place! It was
such a spiritual evening teaching them, and after the lesson they all insisted
we stay for food. They loaded us up with
6-7 different Filipino dishes. They made
“Afra-tada” (probably massacred that spelling!) and it was SO good!! 
There are some really great things starting to happen here
in Summerside and it is such an incredible blessing to get to be a part of it.

Did I mention that the thermometer came in at a balmy -25
degrees, and with windchill it was -35 degrees!?! I’ve never been so cold in my life!!!
On Sunday we introduced the study program to the Summerside
Branch that we started back in the Houlton Branch. I’m excited to see how well it does
here. President Meister is completely
supportive of us doing this and we gave a 5 minute presentation to everyone
right after Sacrament meeting. It went
well and people seem to want to do it. I’ll
let you know how things go.
That’s all for now. I
hope you’ve all set some really good goals for 2014!! Even if you don’t complete them all, you’re
still better off for trying to improve yourself!
Love you all!!
Love,
Elder Hunt
