CHRISTMAS PARTY 

"May the beautiful lights of every Christmas season remind us of Him who is the source of all light." 

Hey everyone I know it's been a while Just haven't had the time these past couple weeks so that's why I'm doing it earlier so that I don't forget. These last couple week have been super super crazy I've been getting ready for our big Christmas zone conference.  we had to prepare a couple trainings and prepare the party right after, it's going to be a blast.  Of course we'll be singing a bunch of Christmas songs and playing a huge game of bingo. This last week we had our ward Christmas party and that was a blast. The Samoans know how to party. They also have the best food ever.  There was light sheet that covered the whole stage and their shadows went through the whole life of christ! It was super awesome. Then they had Santa come it was the best seeing all the kids going crazy. I did miss all the music and dances when I was in a Spanish ward but it was still good! 

 

THE LORD IS GOOD

“Life is like a camera  just focus on what’s important capture the good times develop from the negatives and if things dont work out just take another shot!"

 I love Christmas time.  It's finally here.  Everyone had their Christmas lights on and their big blowup Santa's, it's just an easy way to find the nice people in the neighborhood.  These past couple weeks have flown by. This week was a ton of fun with a lot of good lessons.  We had a lesson with a part-member family and they loved us. The fiancé hasn't been baptized and he had so many good questions and all the answers were in the book of mormon.  The Book of Mormon has so much power. He's been coming to church for the past 3 weeks now and has loved it all. This week I was able to go back to one of my old areas for a little to help some missionaries get some more poeple to teach.  It was so much fun to see all the members and old friends again. We were able to find a couple people and we had a Bomb lesson with this lady who was wondering why baptists hated us so much. And then this weekend we had another baptism which is always so good. His name is Zach Wood and he is from a part-member family as well.  Then on Sunday we had a crazy experience.  We had an inactive member come to church for the first time in years and of course it was fast and testimony meeting. And you know he went up there and bore his testimony, it was actually really good and he didn't say anything too crazy. He kept standing up in sacrament meeting and raising his hand because he wanted to share his testimony. It was awesome! Then we got in Sunday school and someone offended him and he stormed out which was so sad.  Because he was doing so good and then one comment was taken the wrong way. But we tracked him down and he said he'd be there next week,  The Lord is so good. I've learned so much here.
