El Frío

Coldest week in south Texas. It got down to 40 this past week and it was raining as well. For y'all up north that really isn't very cold but when your used to it being hot and winter not existing it was bone chilling (especially with the wind and rain). The only thing keep us warm was wearing double or triple layers of everything. We wore three jackets, two pairs of pants and socks as well as hats and gloves.

Elder Blackham's new companion is Elder Smith from Sandy, UT.  It's been great for him to get out more this week and find some new people to teach.  He's back on his bike getting lots of miles in.  Unfortunately Maria is moving out of the area so some other missionaries will have to continue teaching her.
