Week 98- December 30

 It was so great to get to see and talk with you on Christmas. I can't believe I am already emailing again. the time is just flying by. But that is okay it is all part of the plan. Christmas was really good. It really is such a great holiday, especially as a missionary. It was great to be with the members and feel the Christmas spirit with them. We got a few gifts from people here in the ward which was pretty cool, but that doesn't matter at all. Thanks again for the package that you sent! 

     This week has been a great week. We have seen a ton of miracles. We have set up a ton of return appointments for this upcoming week to pick up new investigators. It has been really cool to see how receptive everyone is. Tomorrow we actually get to implement the pilot program and see how it works. We have a lesson with a potential investigator that we are going to be taking a family history consultant to to help them with their family history and hopefully start teaching about the Gospel. I am really excited to see how it goes, I will let you know next week. Friday, we had mission leadership council. It was really good, we talked about our baptism goal for next year and also a lot of house keeping items. We also were trained on being bold and confident when inviting someone to be baptized. Now that we have been trained we get to turn around and train all the missionaries in our zone on it on Thursday. That is always a lot of fun, I really enjoy giving training's. Hopefully  it goes well. This past week we have also had a young man from Murrieta spending time with us. He is on his mini mission for 6 days to see what its like. It has been a lot of fun having him around. He was only baptized 2 years ago so it has been really cool to hear his conversion and his testimony. Every night after we come in from a day of work he lays down and he crashes, it is hilarious to see how tired he is from everything that we do. It has been interesting trying to get used to a new companion. this is really going to be an interesting last transfer. I hope it goes well. 

     That is so awesome that you went to Nate's homecoming, I can't believe that he is already home. He and Brit are still getting married right? That is awesome that you don't go back to work for another week. Do you have any plans of exciting things that you are going to do? Thanks for everything mom! I Love You!!
