The one where I think I broke my back

 Helloooo everybodyyyy!! I hope everyone had an awesome week! I don't know if you noticed but I never know how to open up these letters so let's get into it!!


On Tuesday we had MLC and it was so fun!! I love MLC! I get to see all my friends that I usually never see so it's really nice. That night when we got back from Southfield, I was SOOO tired but it was good.
On Wednesday we had district council in Rochester and it was super good!! After district council, a lady asked if we could shovel her driveway. We thought that was kind of weird considering it hadn't snowed in a while but we went over and she had us shovel literal ice off of her sidewalks. I was going ham and I ended up getting a pinched nerve in the bottom of my back. I feel like an 80-year-old. 
On Thursday we had a really good lesson with our friend named Chris! He's so cool and really interested in learning more about the gospel. We taught him how to pray and it was super cool!!
On Friday we had a little miracle. We had a lesson planned with one of our friends named Cindy. I kept looking in the area book to double check what time it was at and me and Sister Andrews both kept thinking that it was at 4. Cindy lives about 20ish minutes away so we left and started driving. Everyone told us there was going to be a massive winter storm and to be careful but I didn't really know when that was going to start. Anyway, as we were pulling up to Cindy's house, Sister Andrews checked the area book and it said our lesson with her was at 5. We had already driven all the way there so I said "well the lesson is at 4 now." We had the lesson and it went really well! She had a lot of really good questions so the lesson went a bit long. We were in there for like an hour and a half!! Right as we were leaving it started snowing and we realized that if we would have come to the lesson at 5, it would have been really dangerous or something worse could've happened. It's the small things like that that really help me remember that God is aware of us. 
It snowed the rest of the night and when we woke up on Saturday there was 9 inches of snow!! That's the most we've gotten since I've been here. And everybody from Michigan keeps saying they haven't seen this much in years!! With the heavy snow, we shoveled people's driveways for 3 hours!! Needless to say, my back hurts SOOOO bad and I'm so sore!! Luckily there is a chiropractor in the ward that helps the missionaries for free so we are definitely gonna use that while we can!!
Oh and some other honorable mention things that have happened is my sister Whitney gave birth to her 3rd kid and ONLY GIRL!! I've been keeping that secret since November and it's like a weight is off my chest!! I was the only one in my family to know except for my brother-in-law!! Also on the 4th my other sister Sabrina turned 26 so I got to call her which was fun AND on the same day, I hit my 8-month mark!! Literally, how have I already been out this long???? How am I almost halfway done??? I don't understand it! I absolutely love being a missionary and I don't regret it one bit!! 
Anyway, I hope you all have an amazing week and I love and miss all of you!!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch ♡
