Hey Y'all!
This week has been great... stressful... but great! We were able to talk to a lot of random people and show them the Christmas Initiative video on Mormon.org and everyone we showed it to loved it and how it reminded them of the Bible stories and people were surprised that Mormons believed in the Bible at times.
COURTNEY COX IS ENGAGED TO NICK EDWARDS!!! Ahhhh!!! (Court is my Best friend!)
It poured buckets of rain this week for 4 hours straight!! YAY!! And it got to 55° this week and made me super happy for Christmas time!! We had a great District Meeting with President Lee there and was able to learn more about how become an even better missionary! We then had a Mission wide Christmas Party and it was so much fun! We had skits for each Zone and ours was titled A Mission Carol and it was awesome. We then had an amazing spiritually uplifting Christmas devotional!
That night we went and visited a less-active member in our ward and I turned to her husband and asked him how long he has been a member for... he said I am not a member... now you feel awkward don't you! I said no but screamed inside YES!! We then went knocking that night and ran into some people who were high... we gave them pass along cards and they smelt them and said Mmmm... so sweet! Haha... we then had the Ward Christmas Party on Saturday night and it was really cool! We were in charge of the candy bar! We then had a great Sabbath day. That night we went biking to an area and knocked, we still had quite a bit of time before we needed to go home and so I felt like we needed to go visit someone, but wasn't sure why. And so when we did and they weren't home I was bummed, but Sister Gibb said let's knock, we were led here for a reason. As we were knocking we came across a man named Marcus, and he loved our message and we set up a return appointment!
Lisa Toms is truly Elect!! We taught her the Word of Wisdom this week and she kept saying I know I have to give up smoking, but TEA! She also showed us her cigarette case and how she had laid out 10 that morning, but only smoked 3 that day!!! She is going from packs a day to only 3 y'all!! She committed to do it though and live the Word of Wisdom! She then came to the Ward Christmas Party and brought a ginger bread house that was an island beach theme and it was amazing and won! She then came to church on her own and we LOVED it!! She is getting along perfectly with Everyone! I love her so much!!!
Tuesday evening we went knocking in a neighborhood we prayed about and met an amazing Catholic lady named Maria and invited her to the Christmas Party for our congregation. She ended up coming and Loved it! Sister Gibb and I gave her a tour of our church building and she stopped at every painting and asked us to explain the stories of each. Her favorites were the pictures from the Book of Mormon stories. And afterwards she told us she needs to read the Book of Mormon. So Sunday night we went over on our bikes and gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon and the Restoration pamphlet and set up a time to meet with her this week and talk about it with her.
I love y'all and miss y'all!! Hope y'all are having a great Christmas season!!!
