SO this week was awesome!
First of all me and my companion got to go caroling with a few families on Monday night, which was fun.
Then on Tuesday we got to teach a few people and then when we went to go see a less active woman in our ward, she said she wanted to give us a bunch of her clothes she wanted to get rid of...which was awesome because she has really nice clothes and they were all church clothes. She said it was a Christmas present haha. I also got to see the Millers! they came up and i got to talk to them for a little while and that was really fun. We got to spent that night with our bishops family and it was really fun, they're all Latino and kinda crazy so it was fun.
On Christmas day, we woke up and opened Christmas presents! it was really fun, most of the stuff we got were just little things, like sewing kits and pens and stuff but we were just excited to have something so it was fun :) Also i got to call you guys! which was so fun. I talked longer then i was supposed to....but i don't regret it haha. I had such a good time talking with everyone! It was fun to see how the kids had changed and how the boys had all grow beards haha.
As for Thursday Friday and Saturday, they were pretty slow, we ended up tracting and visiting some potential investigators who ended up being pretty not interested haha. We had a referral to go to this lady named Betty, when we got there we found out she was an 87 year old Baptist woman who was very not interested in the church, she just wanted us to describe what a sealing was like so she could ask her priest to do it haha. We told her neither of us had been to sealings but that it was preformed but those who held the restored priesthood and went into the restoration...but she just wanted to tell us about how she feel in her house the other day and couldn't get up so she scooted 60 yards to her phone. Then we told her we did service and she was pretty excited to know that if she fell again and she called us we would come and help her get up haha. She was funny.
Then on Sunday, i was talking to an investigator in the chapel and helping her with some of her concerns when i heard someone behind me say "BEX?" i didnt really respond at first, and then i was like..."weird that sounded like Abby" and turned around and Abby was standing there!!!! it was so nuts i seriously couldn't think haha. I finished talking to my investigator then pulled Abby in the hall and freaked out a little haha. I was so excited. Then during sacrament meeting Tommie and Jessie got there. They all got to see me give my talk that i gave and then stayed for another Hour and it was sooooo good to see them! haha it was an awesome Christmas surprise!
And today me and sister Johnson got to go do Zumba! haha one of the lady's in the ward is friends with the owner of a gym and so she said she wanted to take us. We both felt a little out of place for a little bit, mostly because people kept asking about our tags haha. But then it ended up being super fun :)
Anyways thats all for this week.
I love and miss you all!!
