Burr it is getting cold around here! It is raining today, which is lame. But we will just have to snuggle up with some hot coco and a blanket, that sounds good to me!
The best thing about the week is that we finally saw our investigator T this week! It has been 4 weeks since we have been able to visit with her! It was a great lesson about her understanding of our missionary purpose and such. And if she is serious about joining the church. She is totally ready, there are just a few things that need to be worked out first, so we are praying for her and we are so excited! We should also hopefully see our other progressing investigator L this week! She is the one that stayed up all night studying the restoration, and could not wait to get a hold of the Book of Mormon! Good things around here!
We had quite the biking adventure... in the rain... on a busy road. We showed up at the members house soaking wet... they were not too happy. We will be sure to ask them to pick us up next time :)
We helped L put up all her outside Christmas decor! How fun :) We drove by the other day and they look great!
Guess what, last night I saw my first real live possum!!!! WOAH They are way bigger than I thought they were. It was dark and we were just driving along when we see something reflecting in the light in the middle of the road. I slow down only to reveal this huge possum trying to be all big and tough. It eventually scampered off. It was basically an ROUS (rodent of un-usual size) But not an un-usual size... a normal size... yeah. Get what I'm saying? I basically felt that I was in the fiery swamp.
We'll say that.
The ward Christmas dinner was a blast, and I ate wayyy too much but hey, it's Christmas! We helped set up for it as well, so it was nice to see that all worked out well and things went smooth. People seemed to really enjoy themselves!
This last Sunday was also the Christmas program in the ward (we did it a bit early). Sister Merrill and I participated in the cute little choir they had. It was so fun! We sang "Guard Him, Joseph" and "Still, Still, Still" They are some of my favorites! It was great, and the spirit was totally there!
Speaking of the spirit being there, the stake also had their Christmas Musical Performance! WOW! It was so wonderful! The choir was big and beautiful, there were some great solos, and they had a bell choir! I was totally being a band nerd and a wanna-be percussionist. Moral of the story: I LOVE MUSIC!
We also saved a baby kitten! We were walking back from the church when we heard a "meow, meow!" There she was under the cars! She was a tricky bugger and was timid. With a lot of coaxing and kitten food we finally snatched it! Turns out she hitched a ride under our neighbors car and they had been trying to get her for a while! We handed her back and they were gonna take her back to where she belonged. About an hour later we heard a knock on the door, and it was our neighbors telling us that she got out again!! So we were down on the asphalt again! We finally caught her and they drove off. Good luck kitty!
Thought for the week: "HURL love at people" HAHA I saw this quote and I just thought it was great! What a perfect time of the year to truly show great love to people! Because Christ was born, we have a reason to rejoice, and be happy. And with happiness just naturally comes love! So combined with #lighttheworld, go hurl love at someone today!!
Oh!! Did you hear bout the LDS media's news?!?! They are making Book of Mormon videos?!?! Just like the bible videos... I am so excited! Hopefully when I go home they will still need actors cuz I totally want to be a part of that!!!
LOVE YOU ALL! Hope you have a merry little week, and a happy weekend!!
