The storm has come and it's pretty cold, but it won't last for long

So, that's right, this week we actually had snow! Yay! On Friday night things started to get pretty cold and it started raining/hailing and we woke up on Saturday morning with snow on the ground. It was only a couple inches, and the sun came out pretty shortly after that and melted most the stuff off the roads. Charlotte is also a little better at clearing off the roads than Greensboro was last year, so it didn't affect the work that much. It's hit the single digits here the last couple nights, and the last three days have not gone above freezing. But it's supposed to warm up this week. By Friday it's supposed to be close to seventy degrees! The weather here is so wacky, it can't seem to make up its mind. 
This week the work was pretty slow. Just a combination of people just disappearing and bad luck. Friday was one of the most unlucky days I've ever had. We had weekly planning and then we had lunch. I was super tired so I told Elder Toone I was going to take a nap, and either stay up and wake me up when it was time to go, or set an alarm and take a nap too. Well, he took a nap, but he didn't set an alarm, so we ended up sleeping 30 minutes past what we were supposed to. We then hurriedly got ready and ran and caught the bus to Uptown. We got to the transportation center and it turns out we missed the bus we wanted by two minutes, so we ended up waiting at the transportation center for 30 more minutes. By the time we got to our appointment, we were lucky to be only about 20 minutes late, but unluckily the guy who we were going to meet with (we called to confirm that morning) wasn't there. So we barely had missed the bus back when we were knocking on the door, so we decided to walk to another bus stop for a different bus and we ended up waiting for that one for 30 more minutes, and it was raining, and cold. But we caught the bus and had to catch another bus that only brought us halfway home, so we waited in the increasingly chillier rain for our dinner appointment to pick us up, and he got stuck in traffic, so it took longer than expected. During dinner we got a text from our appointment for that night telling us that he couldn't meet with us. Luckily the members we were having dinner with are awesome, so that made up for it. 
We did service again this Tuesday and Thursday, and that was fun as always. 
And we found a couple new investigators yesterday, so we're pumped about those (even though we gave one away to the sisters cuz she is an older single lady). But just looking forward to the warm weather this upcoming week and the exchange we have set up for this Wednesday. Hopefully y'all out west aren't freaking out about the snow like the people out here, because I've heard y'all have been dumped on with snow! 
Well, things are good, hopefully they'll get even better! Have a great week! Love y'all!
