Well this week was an awesome week with a ton of great
events!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On monday we went down to Allen with the rest of
our district so we could finish up our music video which is going to
be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on tuesday i was sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
was throwing up all day which was not fun at all!!!!!!!!!!! So I had
orders from Sister Durrant to stay in the apartment all day which was
not fun at all!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to go out and work even though I
was sick, I hated not being able to work all day!!!!!!!!!!!!! But we
still got to get a little missionary work done!!!!!!!! A member came
by our apartment to pick up a book of mormon and some pamphlets to
give to their friends which was way great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also had
to stop by an investigators house to pick up my wallet because my
wallet dropped out of our car onto their driveway the night
before!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on wednesday we spent the whole day in
melissa and we didnt get to tract very much because it was raining all
day so we just stopped by some peoples houses and visited with
investigaros which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on thursday we went
to princeton to do some missionary work there!!!!!!!!!! And we got to
eat at Jayson Carmona's grandpa's house that night which was
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! then after that we got to meet with
alonzo!!!!!!!!!!!!! elder sullenberger and i found him back in august
and at first he wasnt very interested in the religion part of our
church because he is a 13 year old boy but he really loved mutual and
he basically has been going every single week since then!!!!!!!!! we
got to go over on thursday night and talk a little about the book of
mormon with him and he said that he really thinks that its
true!!!!!!!!!! so we just need to get permission from his mom for him
to get baptized, the mom is not interested in the church at
all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on friday we went on exchanges and Elder
Duffin came up with me to my area which was great and Elder Clark went
down to Allen!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to meet with Connie and Gary and they
are doing fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Connie is still wanting to
get baptized except she needs to come to church!!!!!!!!!!! She couldnt
come this sunday because she ended up getting
bronchitis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every single trial pops up for her every
sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wish i could go to her house on sunday
morning and drag her to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we watched the preach
my gospel the district 2 dvds with her and she loved them so much and
I knew that she would!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on thursday night we got
to eat with Sister Lawson at her nursing home which was
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! old people are
so great and I just love them so much!!!!!!!!!!!! Since we were the
youngest people in the dining hall by about 50 years. everyone was
staring at us and talking to us and trying to hug us, it was the
best!!!!!!!!! They had people singing there and everyone was trying to
dance, it was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on saturday we
got to go up to melissa and anna and on saturday night we stopped by
sonic because one of our investigators works there and she gave us
free shakes which was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday at church we had
a lesson about the Spirit of Christmas and Jesus Christ and it was so
great!!!!!!!!!!!! We listened to a song that portrays the inn keeper
that rejected Mary and it just made me think that we should never
reject Jesus into our lives!!!!!!!!!! And the people that are
rejecting him, it is up to us through the spirit to help bring Jesus
into their lives and to help them feel the spirit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
love being a missionary so much and even though I dont get to be with
my family for Christmas, I still get to feel the love of Christ which
is the greatest love that anyone can ever feel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
hope all of you have a Merry Christmas and dont forget to thank Christ
and to think of Him this Christmas Day since He gave us the greatest
gift of all, JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
