Wow this week was a crazy week and we had a lot of stuff happen this
week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On monday we started filming our
music video!!!!!!!!!!!!! On the 23rd our mission is having a talent
show and us and another companionship are making a music video for the
talent show!!!!!!!!!!!! It is to the song You are Loved by Josh
groban!!!!!!!!!!!! It is going to be way great and it was so much fun
filiming it last monday!!!!!!!!!!!! Its an inspirational video to all
the missionaries to inspire everyone to not give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then on tuesday we had multi district meeting with our zone which was
great and I got to learn a lot from that!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then that
afternoon elder clark and I went to princeton to spend the day there
and you will never believe what happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD TO
CALL 911!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so here is the story!!!!!!!!!!!! We
went over to connie and garys house so we could teach them a lesson
and gary had to leave to go to the store so that means we had to teach
connie outside since there wasnt a male home!!!!!!!!!!!! it was
freezing and we were sitting by her front door and we started talking
about the church and everything and then all of the sudden gary came
from around the corner and just collapsed on the ground and started
yelling HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I jumped up and ran over to him
and I had no idea what to do, i was going crazy and connie was
screaming in the background!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ran into connies house and
grabbed her phone and dialed 911 and gave it to her and she was
screaming to get an ambulence there!!!!!!!!! He was throwing up
everywhere and he couldnt breathe so the ambulence came and got
him!!!!!!!!!! I couldnt believe i didnt think to give him a
blessing!!!!!!!!! Instead i just said we should have a prayer since he
was already in the ambulence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we said a prayer
and then we helped connie for a little bit and there was like 20
people outside of the apartment complex watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then
later that night, Brother Dixon took us to the McKinney Hospital and
we got to give Gary a blessing and it was so spiritual!!!!!!!!!!! i
love Connie and Gary so much, they are so close to my
heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on wednesday we got to teach John and he
is doing way great!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is fixin to get batpized the end of
January!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for him, the gospel has helped him
so much!!!!!!!!!!!! Then later that night the youth in Melissa Ward
were going caroling for mutual and we got them to stop by Lauras
house!!!!!!!!!! So we went over there with them to Carol with them and
Laura stood at the door and she was smiling the whole entire time and
she loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then after that we got to meet with
Asumpta which was great!!!!!!!!!! She is from kenya and she loves the
church so much and i cant wait for her to come to church so she can
see what its like!!!!!!!! We got her a book of mormon in
Swahili!!!!!!!!!!! It just is so cool that the gospel is really
spreading all around the world and we can get book of mormons in so
many different languages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even
swahili!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on friday we got to meet
with a man named Joe who the spanish missionaries have been teaching
even though he only speaks english!!!!!!!!!!!!! We set a baptismal
date for the 7th with him and he is definitely going to get baptized,
he is sich a great guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on saturday was
christmas party day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The melissa ward had their party
in the afternoon which was great and the farmersville branch had their
party at night which was also great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Four of the
youth from the farmersville branch did a hilarious performance and I
wish i filmed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday was a great day and
