This week has been a great week because im starting to get back to
normal again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has taken some time but i am starting
to!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is this man from Lubbock that got into a very
bad car accident a couple weeks ago and he is at Parkland hospital so
we have been visiting him which has been very nice!!!!!!!!!! He is
going to be there for a couple more weeks so we are going to continue
to visit him!!!!!!!!!!! Its so sad because he doesnt really have any
family and he was excommunicated from the church but he is trying to
get back which has been great!!!!!!!!!!!! He has such a great spirit
about him and I love talking with him!!!!!!!!!!!! We also got to visit
the cooper family this week and they are doing great!!!!!!!!!!!
Christian still has to work on sundays because of he is a nurse at the
hospital but he said once its the new year he will be able to pick his
schedule and get sundays off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The rest of the cooper
family has been coming to church though which has been
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once Christian comes back he will be able to get
the priesthood and then he can baptize Christian Jr. I cant
wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This week was also full of
parties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On thursday night it was the relief society
christmas party in the 9th ward and the missionaries serve food at it
every year!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So us and the spanish missionaries got to
serve food to all the sisters and wait on them, it was a lot of
fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on friday night it was the first ward
christmas party!!!!!!!!!!! They had a DJ which was fun and it
basically turned into a dance party!!!!!!!!!!! Us and the spanish
missionaries sat there and watched everyone dance, we wanted to dance
so bad but we still had a lot of fun hahaha. Then on saturday night it
was the ninth ward christmas party!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was sooooo much
fun!!!!!!!!!!!! There were about 175 people there so it was
crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of our investigators and less active people
we invited were there which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
love the ninth ward, everyone gets along with each other so well and
we all have sooooo much fun!!!!!!!!! I keep telling everyone i should
just move my records into the ward since i have been here so long
hahaha. This week the elders that cover the lakewood ward which is
just east of us had to take their car to the shop in our area so they
got to spend three days with us which was a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love being a missionary and I love everyones example around
me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this season!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We get to celebrate
our saviors birth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no one better then
him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope all of you have a merry christmas and ill
get to talk to you again on christmas eve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See
