Dear Family,

So, there's an ice storm headed for the mission. Don't know precisely when or where it will hit, but we are prepared. We're stocked up on food and other supplies. We'll be perfectly safe if anything happens where we live.

Our Investigator had some family issues come up so he won't get baptized this week. It will probably be in the next two or three weeks. I would guess the 19th of February. We are very excited and he is very eager to be baptized as soon as possible.

This morning we had Biscuits and Gravy. Chocolate Gravy. It's a Southern food. An amazing one, at that. We got a recipe for it last night and tried it out this morning. I mailed a copy of it home for you to enjoy. The person who gave it to us said that it's best with homemade biscuits, but if you don't make homemade biscuits, get the Pillsbury Layers biscuits(which is precisely what we happened to have on hand. It was gooooooooooooooooood). It was so delicious. Not for the faint of stomach. It is incredibly rich. Easy to make though.

Elder Rowley and I have had colds the last week or so. We're starting to get over it now. His was worse than mine. Theraflu is a wonderful thing. :)

Not too much else exciting to report. I hope y'all have a good week! I hope you go to the temple!

Love,
Elder Bracken
