Well Christmas is over thats a relief!!! haha jk I loved it!
I loved talking to the family and Im super excited to be an UNCLE in July!!!
We didnt get a ton done on Christmas eve or Christmas but its all good. Christmas eve I went on an exchange with an elder while my comp did a baptismal interview because thats what he does as district leader. It was only for a couple hours and then we switched back. We went to the WML house and brought one of our investigators over His name is Adonus, he is way cool. He is Jarsi the recent converts roomate and we were teaching him with Jarsi but he wasnt as interested as Jarsi so we payed more attention to Jarsi which was bad. But we had dinner with them and just had a fun time. We went caroling to their neighbors and then it started downpouring! A true Florida Christmas eve hahah. It was really good that we invited him, I just felt prompted to invite him and he really needed it. He is struggling with some bad friends right now and he just needs to feel loved. We followed up with him the next day and he started reading in the Book of Mormon again which that is what he was struggling with. We are going to be seeing him more regularly as well.
We went to a couple members homes on Christmas which was way fun and we got to Skype the family which was nice to see everyone! Made me realize that I miss everyone but not too much haha.
RUBEN CAME TO CHURCH!!!! Hallelujah!! Now he is on the right track for baptism! We should have a couple Baptisms this next month which will be fun! Ruben should be soon if he comes to church again. Brisby needs to get work off on Sundays to come to church otherwise we have to push his date back. If you could keep him in your prayers so that he can get work off, Same as Jason, he needs to get work off as well. That is honestly the thing that a lot of our investigators are having issues with, If they could get work off and come to church they would be so ready!
This next week we have a training in tampa area which is about an hour away and we will be getting trained on all aspects of missionary work and it will help me out a lot. It is from Thursday till Saturday, I am super stoked!
Here are some fun pics of us on Christmas eve at the WML house. Adonus is right by me in the pic. Also you dont see an Ice cream truck this time of year in Utah haha
Love you all. Talk to you all next year!!! Set some new goals on how many baptisms you want for the next year and work with the missionaries to hit that goal!!!!!
