I hope everyone is well and is having a super awsome holiday season. How have you been on keeping up with #LightTheWorld? I would love to hear about some of your experiences!
HIGHLIGHTS
1. This week, overnight actually, we got 7 inches of snow! As a total of this week, I think we got something like 15 or 16 inches! Holy craziness! We actually got snowed in twice so I don't have a ton to report on haha. But I LOVE THE SNOW! And it's been FREEZING. The lowest temperature we had was 15 degrees.2. Not a real highlight, but Chazz didn't get baptized :(. That was really sad. But he is shooting for January and is so hopeful that he can! Please pray for him.
3. We went and saw Theresa again and shared light the world. She loved it so much, and really wanted to implement it this Christmas. As we testified to her of our savior, Jesus Christ, we even made her cry #win
4. FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA! We went caroling in Jamestown and it was pretty awesome! The old folks that we Caroled to were so grateful and it warmed my hear with the Christmas spirit.
5. We went to the Reids and watched the restoration movie and wow! I don't know if I have ever felt the spirit so strongly than when we watched it with them. At the end, they were at a loss for words, and you can tell the spirit had testified to them that Joseph Smith truly is a prophet of God. We also told them about 17 miracles and Ephraim's rescue, and they've already watch 17 and loved it!
6. That same night, Sam, who can't read very well, told me about a book he was listening to on the church's app. He began to describe in great detail a story of a family who leaves their home and all their possessions to follow God, and about the two wicked sons who were always trying to kill their brother. I was thrilled to tell him what he was reading was the BOOK OF MORMON, and testified to him that it isn't just a story, it's all true! He was thrilled to keep reading.
7. At church we had a whole 33 people! No investigators, but it was cool to hear kids playing quietly during the service, which never happens in our group. In Brother Gaskins words, our group is "not for the newly wed, but the mostly dead" hahaha. That's pretty much all I have, MERRY CHRISTMAS! The next time I talk to yinz, I won't even be a teenager anymore. I'll be a full grown 20 year old, which is gross. Say hello to the new me! Just kidding haha.
Hope youins have a great week!
