Snow 11/21/16

Well what a week. Like all last week was super great and warm and enjoyable!! Plus this past week has been super crazy! First the rest of Monday we had a lesson with a preacher. It was nice to have a civil conversation about religion and to see what each other believed. The only hard part was the wife told us we were believing in a filthy lie while pointing at the Book of Mormon. It hurt so hard because I know with all my heart that the Book of Mormon is true and it can change lives! Then we went to the Sullivan's house to make ourselves feel better after being so brought down. Then we had a good laugh and talked about her son in Utah preparing for the Winter Olympics.

Tuesday we spent the night at Channing talking about her mission and just talking life through. Wednesday was exchanges which was super fun as normal! The funniest part was we do a new thing where we pray before we knock on every door so we were getting ready to pray and Sister Fitt was like whose turn is it. So I was thinking about it while she started to pray and right after she had started to pray I yelled no! Hermana Spencer and Sister Fitt were like way to go interpreting her prayer! We laughed so hard! Then Thursday was zone training which was super good! We meet a less active's husband and we asked when we could come back and he said how about never with a smile. We just kind of laughed and were like what? The funny part was Hermana Johnston ripped her skirt which was actually one of the ones I gave to her! It was super funny! 

Then on Saturday we learned about tickets and raked leaves. Then Sunday night while we were knocking doors it started to snow! It was no fun hardly at all. I was so cold for a whole hour! My fingers about fell off! Then this morning we went and took Christmas pictures in the cold!

I want to share a feasting scripture as we come to the biggest feast of all year! Especially as a missionary where you get like three thanksgiving dinners. The scripture is in 2 Nephi 9:50-51:

"Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price.  Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy. Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One
of Israel, and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted, and let your soul delight in fatness."

So I must say that there are many things in this world that make me happy and that I enjoy however there is only one thing that brings the most joy in all the world. That joy comes from living the gospel of Jesus Christ by feasting on he words of Christ through the Book of Mormon. I know the Book of Mormon is true and is part of the path back to our Heavenly Father.

I hope everyone has seen my companion's and mine posting of gratitude for the past couple of days! I would encourage each of you to post what you are grateful for each day this week!

As well I will be sending our Christmas cards next week! If you would like to receive one pleas email me back your address so I can get you on the list! I love y'all! Have a great week!
