Hello friends and family,
Happy
New Year! Did everyone have a great New Years? Ours was pretty good. We
did a district activity and we were able to watch a disney movie at a
members house. President Spendlove didnt want us out proselyting, so he
let us get together as districts and watch a disney movie. So we watched
"Inside Out." Basically there were only 2 of us in our district that
could have seen that movie before their mission, and I didnt see it
before the mission. So Sister Huxford was the only one that had already
seen it. It was cute.
Anyways
on to the missionary work. This week was good. We moved apartments,
FINALLY! We now live inside of our area that we serve in and not 14
blocks North of it. So we found out about transfers and neither of us
got transferred. We just moved apartments. I'm glad I am not leaving my
area quite yet, there is so much work to be done here and I am loving
it!
On Monday morning we
found out about transfers and that we were moving. We get packing and
then we have to head out to work. Sometime during us walking our keys
fall out of my jacket pocket. So we lost the house key, the mail key,
and the church fob.... Awesome. Oh but the Elders had to "break into"
our apartment to open it up for us and while doing so Elder Kirkham, who
is serving in our branch and is in our district, stole my name tag. I
didnt find out for 4 days later, but his reasoning was "If Im going to
break into an apartment, I might as well steal something..." elders...
but we are grateful for them Then the next day (Tuesday) we got a new
house key. We still dont have the church fob or a mail key but we never
used the mailbox and now the Elders live in that apartment so we dont
have to worry about it right now. We are working on getting another
church key though.
But
exciting news this week. Yesenia and Elyzabeth got their temple
recommends to do temple baptisms!! YAHOOO!! They are so excited! Oh and
we had an investigator come to church this week. His name is Simon, and
he is actually our neighbor. And he really enjoyed it.
The
work is going great here. Lots of less active people are returning,
recent converts are doing well, and we have some new investigators!
It is still freezing and walking is soooo much fun. But its alright, I am getting healthy and we meet a lot of people!
Have a great week everyone! love you all! thank you for the support! Keep me updated on life events!

Mission Scripture
"For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have; therefore we see that the Lord doth counsel in wisdom, according to that which is just and true."
