January 22nd, 1972, Saturday

Today the zone leaders came to check on The discussions. I could give the first 10 conclusions of the first discussions for they well.

After that we went tracting for around two hours. We gave one discussion to a fellow we think is a retarded case, but he agreed to read the pamphlet we left him and ask The Lord if they are true. When house retracted to give us anti-Mormon literature.  We were not able to enter this particular house, so my companion attempted to give them a discussion on the steps and 5 inches of snow. We had a big snow last night and it was -10° with wind chill of about -35°.

After teaching and lunch we visited the Paul Kirk residence and hope to work with some of their nonmember friends. After dinner at the Kirks we went ski-doing with Mr. Kirk.  We made it back in time for supper with the Kirks that night.

We then went to a baptism of Elder Smith and Ford's.  I was called as a witness to the baptism. It's Sunday tomorrow and priesthood is at 8:30. We have to pick up elder Smith and Ford for priesthood in the morning because they have no car.  I am really learning to study now, and I'm glad we have a car because it is so cold.

I really miss the family now, and I miss Diane just as much, but I concentrate on my studies and don't let it bother me. The other night, my first night in the mission field, I cried uncontrollably, so I prayed and asked the Lord to take away my feelings of homesickness.  Immediately I quit crying and I have not felt homesick sense, and I think the Lord for it.
