This week has been an awesome week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was definitely a struggle but I had the faith to get through it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tuesday was a great day!!!!!!!!!! We got to go tracting over in McKinney after we had district meeting!!!!!!!!!! I love tracting in McKinney because its more city than melissa or farmersville!!!!!!!!!!!! After we were done tracting we got to have dinner at Genghis Grill and it was most excellent!!!!!!!!!!! I have never eaten there before and its so cool because you get to make your own food, a member in the Farmersville Branch took us there!!!!!!!!! Wednesday was great because we got to meet with Laura and wish her a happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We baked her a cake!!!!!!! She still hasnt quit smoking but she is trying and I know that she is going to get baptized!!!!!!!!!! Then that night we got to visit with a less active family in the Melissa Ward and they are such a great family, they just need to come to church!!!!!!!!!!! Then on thursday night we got to have dinner with the Ballenger family!!!!!!!!! Sarah Ballenger is 14 and she just got baptized in june!!!!!!!!!!! She is doing so awesome!!!!!! Her parents arent members of the church but they are so cool and I love them so much!!!!!!!!!!! Her mom reminds me exactly of my mom, she is so hyper and LOVES to talk and Sister Ballenger thinks that im a hoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on friday we got to teach this new women!!!!!!!! She is from Africa and she moved here a couple years ago!!!!!!!! She is such a nice lady and she has such a sweet spirit about her!!!!!!!!! We taught her about the book of mormon and I started to bare my testimony about it and she started crying and she told me that she knows the book of mormon is true and I got so stoked that I jumped out of my seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the spirit so much!!!!!!!!! It really bares testimony to people of everything that is true!!!!!!!!! I saw Asumpta start crying and I saw the spirit of the Lord in her eyes!!!!!!!!!!!! Missionary work is so great and i just love it so much!!!!!!!!!!! I never want my mission to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right now as Im typing this the weather is 37 degrees outside!!!!!!!! It has gotten so cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe that Texas gets this cold after being here in the 115 degree weather!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Friday and saturday we got to go to the Nativity Exhibit!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never seen a church do it before but they decorate the gym with a bunch of nativities and you get to walk around and look at all of them!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Christmas so much because we get to celebrate the birth of Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of people here think that our church doesnt believe in Jesus Christ even though its in the name of our church!!!!!!!!! So this nativity thing is a great idea because TONS of non members came to look at the exhibit and its great because there are people caroling the entire time!!!!!!!!!!!!! They even had a black church choir come and sing at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Jesus Christ so much and I am so thankful to be a member of His church, it is just so awesome and so great and I get to be filled with joy all the time because this gospel is just so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE THAT JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This week was a struggle to find people but I have the faith that there are people out there waiting for us to teach them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great week everyone and enjoy the cooler weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
