December 12, 2011

Hello again. Another week come and gone.

It was a bit of a different week...everyone here is in the middle of final exams and leaving to go home for Christmas. Most of the ward and the people here are just here for university...so it's made it quite tricky to meet with people. Buuuuttt...miracles still happen. Always!

A couple weeks ago...this girl and boy were at church...he was a member who just moved back...and she was his girlfriend. We introduced ourselves and he told us that she needs to learn from us. So we said well good thing we are who we are...buuuttt...she has a crazy work schedule so we've never been able to meet with her. Until now. :) we have been texting her every week to check her work schedule...then this last week she text us and told us she was sorry she hadn't been able to meet...she had been working a lot and her mother just passed away but she really wanted to meet. We met with her on Tuesday! :) It was wonderful. The lesson just flowed and she asked some wonderful question and was able to understand the scriptures we read. After the lesson we asked her how she felt and she said, "The Holy Ghost has been here with us. I felt Him very strong as we have been talking." we asked her what that meant to her and she said, "That means everything you've told me is true." :) :) :) :) she came to church on Sunday and we are meeting with her again on Tuesday. She is wonderful. She has been to church a few times with her boyfriend and his family so she knows quite a bit already. She answered a couple of the questions in Sunday School and made some great comments!! It’s neat to see how the example and how the influence of members can really play a huge role in people’s lives.

This week we have our Christmas Zone Conference. We are really excited!! It should be a wonderful week. Then Christmas is here. Watch out!

So things are good. We are busy and working really hard. It’s wonderful to see the spirit of Christmas working with people and see their hearts soften. :)

Hope you are all doing great. Love you all. Be good. Remember who you are. Live it. Love it.
