the coldest week yet

Hey Everyone!

 

first and foremost...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!

I hope everyone had a good week, and based on the emails i got it sounded like you guys did. well funny weeks at least.

 

My week was really good :)

ill go over some investigator first...

 Sean is doing really well, he has had all the lessons now, read the whole Book of Mormon, has bore his testimony to us, and hes just over all doing really awesome. He told us this week though that he wasn't sure if he wanted to be baptized this week, he says he wants to be but he needs to work somethings out first soooo. that was a little disappointing, but we aren't giving up! we know he is ready, we just need to help him see that a little more :)

 

We got a new investigator named Brittany. Shes awesome.

shes really excited about the church though, she grew up in it but her family went less active when she was 8.

We thought at first she was just less active, but turns out she wasn't ever baptized. So were going to take care of that  :)

 

We passed Paula off to the sisters in the ward she just moved to and shes being baptized on Saturday!!!

we are so excited! were sad that she wont be baptized into our ward because we all love her so much, but it has been really awesome to she her go from start to finish :)

 

And this past Sunday we had 8 non members at church! it was soo awesome! the work really is moving forward :)

 

Other than that, some fun things that happened this week....

We helped a family in our ward move into a different house on Thursday morning, and for some weird reason, like almost all the companionships in our zone had their plans fall through so all morning we all going to move these people and hang out a little bit. haha it made me feel like a normal person again being able to hang out with people my age. and also to be able to wear pants haha.

 

me and Sister Cobabe got 2 packages this week!

one from Mom and Jessica, which is a 12 days of Christmas type of thing, which has been WAY fun for us to do. we decided to do it early thoug because we only had 12 days left of our transfer when we got it sooo haha we started Christmas early. And all the things have been perfect things that we need like shout wipes and lint rollers, we love it!

We also got a package from Sister Miller :) she sent us a Christmas countdown with little candies and scriptures every night. Its been really nice to have some festive things  so thank you all so much!!!

 

Oh! the weather has been NUTS here! form what everyone has been telling me its been nuts everywhere haha but it dropped below 20 degrees last night. I was freezing! haha but no one was really expecting it so there are a bunch of problems with the sprinklers all over town.
