About my area. Yes it is suppper pretty! The sunsets from up here are normally amazing and I have a few good pictures of some. We are also going to get a Christmas picture today with the four of us in our apartment and send out some Christmas Cards! It’s going to be an awesome picture and you guys will love it :) I’m only going to send them to family and to a couple friends. It’s currently raining though so our original idea isn’t going to work but we will still get a good one!
I’m SUPER excited for Josh to go to the MTC I know he will have a great experience and he will be blessed as much as I have. I have really started to notice the blessings that I’ve been getting even if I don’t notice them at first I notice them after awhile and I am so grateful!
As for this week we had a pretty tough week because of so many appointments falling through at the beginning of the week but we ended up with 70 contacts which is the standard of excellence for our mission and we were really excited to hit it! We ended up later this week being able to teach a few more lessons and ended up with 12 total lessons for the week which is pretty decent.
We had a cool story about a referral we got from President G. Apparently the lady that lives across the street from a guy we have been teaching sees us a lot and has wanted to talk to us but hasn’t gotten up the courage so she ended up walking down to our new mission office which isn’t too far but still far enough and walked in and said she wanted to meet with me and Elder H! We contacted her and played a little phone tag and weren’t able to meet with her before Sunday but she said that she would walk to church Sunday morning. We ended up getting her and her friend a member ride and after church she said that she LOVED it and would be back next week and that we can teach her!
Another really neat story. We had a Living Nativity program set up for last Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night and we stopped by this partly autistic kids (just barely autistic like the only thing that’s wrong is he is a little bit socially awkward but he is a cool kid) house that we have been teaching to invite him and his family but his mom and sister were gone so we invited him and he said if he wasn’t drunk and had nothing better to do then he would go to it. We got to go see the program Saturday night and talk with lots of people and S was there!! He got there at 6:30 when it started and stayed through all 4 of the shows and then helped clean up! We introduced him to lots of ward members and they were all really nice and talked to him a lot it was really good! We also found out he went to church yesterday! He just went to a different building. Attended all 3 hours. Stayed an extra hour and then went to sacrament meeting at the singles ward also! Luckily lots of people there fellowshipped him so we are going to stop by this week and see what he thought!
We have also been making some really good progress with an investigator named D that lives in our complex. The first couple times I met him he really wasn’t convincing when he said he would read but then last Monday night we took a convert member and had an awesome lesson on faith and he just admitted and said he should have been reading and that he really does want to gain a testimony of the book so he really would read this time. We have another meeting with him tonight so we will see how it goes! Oh and good news about the 70 contacts! We got about 7 or 8 people that said we could come back and share more about the church! I was pretty excited about it! I’m also getting really excited for Christmas! Our apartment is decked out and looks super awesome!! I’m excited to be able to skype with you! Well that’s about it for this last week! It was a good one and hopefully this week is really good too! I love you lots!!
