First of all yes I did get your package and it was awesome! I loved all the pictures and goodies! But... I’m not sure why you sent me mascara. (Note from Pam – apparently the mascara I bought when I bought the stuff to send him got left in the bag!!) Haha I’m glad your talk went really well and I would like to read it! That’s also a really neat story! I’m currently writing with a dog sitting at my feet under the computer desk haha the J’s have 3 dogs and they are super awesome! I’m glad grandma is doing good now! That’s pretty scary. We gave a blessing to a lady that fell down just last week. I’m not sure exactly how she is doing now but hopefully better.
Well this week I only will have to write about Thursday - Sunday! Not really a whole lot has been happening. We dropped by an investigator’s house to see how he was doing because we hadn’t seen him for a bit and they let us in and we got to teach them a lesson so that went pretty well. We also stopped by a less actives house and apparently it was a good time to go. She was having a really hard day. Some things from her past were coming back and it was some pretty bad stuff that it wasn’t her fault but she was crying the whole time and we read scriptures about the atonement and about how one day we will rest from our afflictions and she told us how much of an answer to her prayers we were and she knows everything will work out but she just doesn’t want to have to have bad memories resurface and it was just really hard. I’ve never wanted to give somebody a hug so bad you could just tell how hard it was on her. Other than that we only had a couple other meetings with investigators.
We had the baptism on Saturday and it went so well!!! Elder T did a good job baptizing and she was just so happy! Ever since the Spirit really started to work on her she has been so happy and is always smiling. When we were at her house this week she brought us out two cups and she said "Here you go I made you some coffee." Then we took them from her and looked at them and she started to laugh and said "I’m just kidding its hot chocolate!" haha it was so funny! I knew it wasn’t coffee because I would have smelled it but she just thinks she’s super funny. We also got out the binder to make the record for her and she said "You do it on paper? I figured you would carve it into some brass plates or something!" and then she would just laugh! She is quite the character! But yeah she was so happy after her baptism! And on Sunday I was the one that got to confirm her which was really scary for me because I had never done that and I had to do it in Sacrament meeting! But I did good and she turned around after and said "I’m so glad that it was you that got to do this part." It made me feel so good! Also in sacrament meeting 5 year old C sat by me and he is a stud. He is such a funny little kid. The whole B Family is so awesome!
Ohhh last Monday we had dinner at the B’s family’s house who are also super amazing! They make me feel at home. But yeah she asked what we missed that our moms used to make and so I had her make tater tot casserole. And they all thought it was pretty good then she gave us the left-overs and we brought it home and Brother J loved it and ate almost the rest of it! hah so yeah this week has really been pretty easy. We met with the couple that was supposed to get baptized next Saturday and J is ready but her husband J is definitely not but he is getting there. So we will continue to work with them but J doesn’t want to get baptized until J gets baptized so they can together.
I’m also not sure if I told you but there is a Christmas festival type thing here every year and missionaries get to sing at it. It’s called the Crèche festival and so each Saturday night we get to go practice for it and it’s really fun. Especially being able to be with a bunch of other missionaries! Well by next email we will know who is getting transferred so I will let you all know! I love you lots!! Be safe and stay warm!!
