It's been snowing! Crazy! It started Sunday night. It continued a little yesterday, but not much. Really, it's not a lot of snow. Just a couple of inches. But for the people here it's like the sky is falling. School's closed. The library closed(hence my emailing on Tuesday). The whole place just shuts down. It's so funny.
 
We were glad that we bought some De-Icer windshield wiper fluid. It's good stuff.
 
We just had Stake Conference. It was a broadcast from Salt Lake to all the stakes in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. It was very good. First to speak was Bishop Keith B. McMullin of the Presiding Bishopric. Then Sister Elaine S. Dalton. Then Elder L. Tom Perry. Then finally President Thomas S. Monson. It was very good. my favorite talk was by Bishop McMullin. He spoke about being "stuffocated." We have so much stuff in our lives taking up our space and time that we leave no room for Heavenly Father and His Gospel. He talked about removing the things that distract us so that we can communicate clearly with our beloved Father. It was very good. President Monson talked about Rescuing those who are lost. The widows, the fatherless, the less-active, the lonely, etc.
 
Well, I had better get going. Have a good week, and go to the temple!
 
Love,
Elder Bracken
