So it came to my attention that some of my weekly emails didn’t go all
the way through, so here is try ✌🏼!
Hello Fan Club! Man this week has been a fantastic week, the work is
moving forward and Christmas Cheer is being thrown all around. AND I
LOVE IT!!! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ I love the Christmas Season because it is the time
of year that everyone is thinking about Christ, although as a
missionary it doesn’t change much, but we love it just the same!!
This week after District Meeting we were able to do a power hour, just
an hour of tracting. BUT we decided to not just tract but we were able
to go caroling! We went with the other sisters and we just sang songs
to people. Not going to lie, there were the same amount of people that
closed to door on us that allowed us to sing them a song, which was
something that we weren’t expecting. But the couple of times that
people allowed us to sing were so spiritual. There was a little boy
who just had the biggest smile on his face and was doing a little
dance because he was so excited! Then there was a man and a woman who
sang with us and got pretty emotional with tears down their face.
After the song they offered us cookies! Seriously so grateful for all
of the people who have a faith in Christ, the spirit comes as we sing
the hymns!
Okay so this week we had a lesson with Ken and we expressed to him
that he needed to start living the Word of Wisdom by Friday, in order
to be baptized on December 30th. Well we talked to him and he wasn’t
very confident about it at all but he said that he was going to try,
that was on Tuesday evening! Wednesday morning we called Ken and he
hadn’t followed the Word of Wisdom that morning and we were super
bummed. Well Wednesday night we were at the church helping with a
mutual activity and we turned around and saw Ken in the door way with
his fellowshipper, his fellowshipper was giving Ken a tour of the
Church! We had literally just talked about having a church tour with
him that day! And we talked to him about what he thought and he loved
it! The next day we called Ken and asked him if he was living the Word
of Wisdom, and he said YES! Literally that church tour changed Ken and
he wants to do everything that he can to be apart of Christs church!
Oh and he was also at the Ward Christmas PARTY! And he loved it!!
So at the Ward Christmas Party they did this cool thing where they had
a Christmas Tree that they made it our Ward Family Tree! We used the
Family Tree app and tried the Relatives around me to find out who we
were related too. I found a lot of people, some 17th cousins and some
7th cousins. BUT the closest was a 3RD COUSIN! The Bishops wife and I
are 3rd cousins, super crazy. But then she started telling me so much
about that side of my family, and guess what. I am related to the
founder of Kneaders, I think we should get a family discount or
something for endless French toast? Can someone second this motion?
This week we were at a dinner and Sister Nielsen and I were sitting
across the table from each other. This 10 year old named Conner was
sitting next to me. Conner has ADHD and he literally doesn’t stop
talking. So he was talking my ear off this week and his parents told
him that he needed to be quiet for 5 minutes, they put a timer on and
everything. Well the timer went off and Conner looks at me, moves my
hair from my shoulder and tells me that I am pretty. I didn’t know how
to respond haha, and I thought that no one heard him, no everyone
hears everything Connor has to say. So a boy told me that I was pretty
this week.
Okay so we had a really cool miracle happen yesterday! We got a call
from the Harvard Elders today saying that they had a young woman in
their ward who had been coming to church for about a month and they
found out that she actually lives in our ward! So they got her contact
information and we called her last night. She started telling us that
she was super busy and she didn’t know when she could meet and then we
introduced Facebook, and she was so excited about it and scheduled a
time for us to chat with her tonight! We added her on Facebook and
sent her screenshots of how to download the Gospel Library App on her
phone and invited her to read Alma 32, within 5 minutes she was
sending us questions about her reading! We are so excited to meet with
her more! When we were on the phone with her she just told us about
how just feels at home when she was at church, and that right now she
really just wants to grow a better relationship with her Heavenly
Father. The spirit is so strong with her!!!
So for the month of December I am reading the entire Book of Mormon,
and there has been something that has been standing out to me the last
couple of days. In 3 Nephi 33:6 we read: “I glory in plainness; I
glory in truth; I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from
hell.” I love in the Book of Mormon when Nephi talks about the
plainness that he loves. As we study the scriptures more we begin o
realize that the gospel is plain and simple. I have been grateful fo
the opportunity to teach and learn the gospel simply on my mission and
to be able to help people understand the plainness of the gospel.
Thanks for all the love and support Fan Club! I hope that you have a
great week and that you Light the World this week to everyone that you
talk to! Remember it starts with just one person!
— Remember who you are and who God EXPECTS you to become —
Love, Your Favorite Sister Missionary,
