This has definitely been the craziest spring I have ever experienced! It's been an awesome past few days.
So the day after the Twins game, we had zone conference! It was in Oakdale, which is a bit away from us. So we rode in the 'vanimal' with 10 other missionaries and it was a party! Haha zone conference was really great. President talked about the Book of Mormon and how we need to start using that a lot more at doorsteps and just incorporating it more in lessons because it really is the key to conversion. He also shared mission experiences from when he served in Finland which was really cool. He said that he struggled with the language as well (and I know that Finnish is a lot harder than spanish), but it still meant a lot to me because he can kinda relate with me on that ya know? So that was a sweet day.

| All the missionaries at the Twins game! |
Friday we made lunch as a district at the church and then went to the Veteran's home. We did cute little crafts and sang with them :) That night when we got home, our neighbor Sherry told us that a blizzard was comin in and that we shouldn't leave if we didn't have to. (She kinda always tells us that the weather is going to get super bad and she's just a sweet old lady that watches the news all the time). So we didn't totally believe her, until we woke up the next morning! There was tons of snow and it was super super windy! We finished studies in the morning, and then went out for a few hours before the mission grounded the cars. Oh my goodness it was SO FUN. I have never been in so much snow in all my life!!! Hermana Winterton loves the snow too, so we had so much fun going out in it. We made a video talking about our whole weekend, so instead of typing it out I'll just send that and you can hear what we did. They cancelled church, so you know it's real bad when Minnesota cancels church! You would be surprised how many people got stuck and didn't know what to do. It was a very service filled weekend helping a bunch of people out. I loved it. I think overall we got about a foot and a half of snow, and it's supposedly going to snow more here in the next few days. Woohoo! Pretty much everyone but Hermana Winterton and I are tired of the snow haha but we just keep praying for more. We'll see what happens😊
I have now studied 50 conference talks within the past month or so! I looooove study time, and I have learned so much! Hermana Winterton is also a genius, so comp studies are the best with her because we just discuss the Book of Mormon and what we read and we learn a lot from each other. I'm so lucky to have her as mi compañera, we have so much fun.
Anyways, that's pretty much how this week has gone. Pray for more snow! Ha ha. We have exchanges this week with the English STL's, and I'm staying here in North Minneapolis with one of the English sisters, so basically it's all on me to do alllll of the talking. Wish me luck! I know that it will be a good experience for me.
For P-Day today we are just taking it easy. We're gonna meet other missionaries at the church and play games and hang out. It'll be nice.
Thanks for the emails! Joe, you looked great at Prom with Jayla! Glad to hear you had fun! Have fun at Lake Powell this week B! Good luck Jacob and Kim with all of your finals and everything! I can't believe you will be at Disneyworld in 2 weeks! Ahhhh!
Love you guys so much, literally I'm so happy. I have never been so happy before!
Love Hermana Nissinen
Also, since I don't know for sure when you get your mission calls, I will make my guesses now:
Joe: Colorado, English speaking
Okie: Japan
(So excited for you two!!)
