Christmas

Hey Yall!

Can you believe CHRISTMAS is here already! Like time is going by sooooo fast!

This week was super fun!  We did tons of service! We would heart attack, moon, or just leave goodies at peoples doors. Loved how we didnt get caught once! We also raked this lady's yard. I mean this lady was home both days we went and she never caught us! It was great! We got 35 bags full of pinestraw and leaves. Weird how we're raking yards and still wearing normal clothes and it's DECEMBER! 

The youth in the ward also did a talent show for a local retirement home and had the missionaries sing as well. It was awesome to see the smile on all of their faces, even if some of them couldnt hear a word we sang.lol 

This week was so great! We ran into tons of our investigators and got tons of referrals from people. The Spanish Elders were actually in our area trying to find more spanish people to teach, and they found us a lady named Lavanda. We have seen her everyday for the last little bit, and man has she been through a lot! She's ready to rely on God now! She said it's time to switch her motives. She wanted to be baptized on Christmas, but she has to come to church a bit before she can get baptized, but she just cant wait to change her life around! Please pray for her!:)

We also were eating at Chipotle after our missionary meeting on wednesday and this old santa guy came up and thanked each of us for being missionaries and doing what we did. Said we were an inspiration for the world! Just made our day. Christmas miracles are all around! Remember to share and help others.

This week is the week of Christmas and Christmas Eve. Please take a second in your busy times to read the Story of Jesus. His birth is the reason for the season. He is all we have, He has given us the best gift, He is the love of the world, He is everything. Possibly watch "He is the Gift" on youtube. Best video ever!  

I love yall! Hope you have a great Christmas!
