Hope Thanksgiving was a great one for you all! We had a relaxing day
inside and ate with an awesome member family. Then Elder Fife
challenged me to a game of chess, and promised me he wouldn't play
with a Queen...it reminded me of my awesome brothers, especially when
he slaughtered me still. Haha
Well we had a pretty busy week and got into a lot more member homes.
The coolest thing is the church's Christmas Initiative "He is the
Gift." I bet you have all seen the video already, but if not check out
http://www.mormon.org/christmas. This is such an inspired initiative this
Christmas season. At a time when most people get caught up in the
hustle and bustle of Black Friday and Christmas shopping, many others
also wonder where the true meaning of Christmas has gone. I think it's
a good reminder for every single one of us that Jesus Christ is God's
gift to us! And that we should try to discover (or rediscover),
embrace (or re-embrace), and share (or share again) this Gift if we
truly comprehend its value. We are seeing this initiative work
miracles and soften hearts here! With one family we ran into, we just
showed them the video and later read the Christmas Story in the Book
of Mormon, as told by prophets on the American continent at the time
of Christ. It has immediately sparked people's interest and turned
into opportunities for us to testify of this second witness of Jesus
Christ!
So no one is really progressing that we have been working with. Most
people either work, don't have transportation, or don't think anyone
will be at church so they don't come on Sunday. Kinda hard to get
people at church if they're all waiting for everyone else to come
first. Haha I know it's only been two weeks since we have been
focusing solely on Spanish speakers. It's just one of those things
where the fruits might not appear as rapidly as we had hoped. But we
are certain good things will gradually start happening.
I tried to send some pictures mom but I don't know if they went through!
I love you all! Have an awesome week!
