Crazy Week!!

Dear all,

And another week flies by! This past week was pretty good! We has a Zone Training which went well on Thursday. This next week we'll be having our Christmas Zone Conference which should be fun. We are doing a White Elephant! Can't wait!

As for our investigators Michelle and Nick are doing amazing still! I think Michelle is at the point where she knows the church is true, so the only thing that could really come in the way of her baptism on the 5th of January would be her own low self esteem. The Deakins have been amazing with fellowshipping her and have shown me the ideal teaching experience.

Chelsey however won't be getting baptized on the 29th. Reason being, she is moving this week out of our area. She decided to tell us a week before. But no worries, she isn't moving far. I know the Elders that will be in charge of her and I think they will take good care of her. They should be able to get her baptized and when they do, I will see about getting permission from President to be there for it!

Well that's it for me! I hope everyone's Christmas season is going great. Our prayers around the world have gone to those who have lost loved ones in the shotting. Those children are with our Heavenly Father, and I'm sure will make amazing missionaries on the other side. I love you all!

With tender love and care,

It's So Cold!

Dear All,

So I must say, today has been the coldest day of the year! This morning it was 6 degrees! Now it's in the 20s, which is still way too cold for my liking! I hope I survive this Winter! Haha jk, I know I will. It's just the tracting in the Winter is the most brutal. But all will be well!

So Michelle and Nick are still progressing pretty awesomely! Our meeting with them every Sunday at the Deakins home really does make my week. I love how much they are progressing and willing to learn more about the gospel! Chelsey however is degressing a little bit. She is still set, but she is now set for the 29th of December now. Hopefully she will get there, but I know whatever happens, she still has her agency and we can only do our best to help her get there.

So this Christmas seasons has been awesome! I love all the Christmas lights and all the Christmas music! My favorite Christmas song is God Rest ye Marry Gentlemen. I was practicing a simplified version of it on the piano this morning just as a fun little p-day activity. I love it! It's just such a great song!

Well I love you all! Keep up the good work and merry Christmas to all!

With tender love and care,

Hard Week

Dear all,

So this past week was pretty rough. We did a lot of finding with tracting and GQing (golden questions), and had no success. We even went through our area book and didn't find anyone who was really interested.

We did however set Michelle and Nick last night! They are set for baptism on the 5 of January. We also reset Chelsea for the 22nd because we found out that the 18th was actually a Tuesday and not a Saturday. Our focus has been mostly on those three, because they have been progressing the most out of everyone we are teaching. The Deakins have been amazing at fellowshipping Michelle and Nick. We just hope that we can continue to have the rest of the ward be as helpful as they have been.

Well as for the weather, it's been super foggy this past weekend. Driving in the fog is scary, esspecailly at night. That with the mix of deer and stuff, makes it even more scary for me. I won't go past 30 in that weather.

Well besides that everything has been pretty good. My new companion Elder Puckette has been pretty good. He's pretty slow, so he hasn't really sad much during lessons and he doesn't know how to really tract or GQ or start a conversation, but he has a good drive to do the work, which is more important then all of those things.

I love you all and hope everyone is doing well! Sorry if this email is a little crazy, there was a lot of missoinaries distracting me. Haha Well until next week!

With tender love and care,
