Lincoln, Nebraska

Hi y'all.  Well we finished our stint at the MTC.  We really enjoyed it though we weren't certain we were going to!  We had classes all day and moved from room to room, with a meal every 4 hours like clockwork.  I'm sure I gained 5 lbs.  We have practised giving discussions to each other and to other companionships in our group.  We also had volunteers from outside the MTC who came in to be investigators.  One of the volunteers was a mom with an 11 year old boy.  He reminded me so much of Noah.  It made me homesick for my grandkids.  Our other volunteer asked us a lot of questions and really made us think.  We have learned a lot from Preach My Gospel, which is a really awesome resource and will continue to study it as we go.  We drove through Wyoming last night and the last 60 miles was a solid sheet of ice.  I (Mom) was driving and when we finally got to Rawlins, I could hardly stand on my feet.  My legs felt like spaghetti.  This morning the snow was blowing across the road so badly we could hardly see the road.  But once we got to Cheyenne, the clouds were gone and we had blue skies all the way to Lincoln.  Tomorrow, there is a 70% chance of snow and then it improves the farther east we go.  So we'll take it easy.  We're on the Lord's errand so we know he's aware of us and will bless us.  We're going to stop at the Mormon Trail Center (Winter Quarters) tomorrow in Omaha.  Grandpa's great grandmother, Melissa Jane Lambson was born there in 1846.  We love you all and miss you already.  They promised us at the MTC that when we stepped out of the picture, the Lord would step in.  We believe that to be true.  Be safe.  Much love, Grandma Jann and Poppa
