A lot of really great things happened this week. In fact, something pretty amazing just happened about an hour ago. A member called us up yesterday and told us she wants us to meet a friend of hers today at 10. I mean, it's our p-day. But, we're not going to say no! So we went over there this morning kind of tongue-in-cheek. Her name is Rashel Stanley and she's absolutely golden. We talked a little about the restoration and the Book of Mormon. She loves everything that we talked to her about and she told us she's just so excited. She's preparing to be baptized on January 31. It was amazing how prepared she was to receive this message and it's already providing happiness to her life.
This last Thursday we went down to tri-cities to the Colombia River Temple for our temple trip! It was so amazing! We did an endowment session there and I enjoyed it so much. I absolutely love the temple! There's such an amazing spirit there. Kennewick was Elder Pullman's first area, so he was really happy to be back.
We were able to get two new investigators this week. And they we both on the same day and we found them from tracting! Woo hoo for tracting! One is named John. He's just been fired from his job and is going through a lot of pretty tough stuff. But he's very open to hearing the message! Another one is Esperalda. She's a Hispanic lady who's living with her boyfriend right now. She's very sweet and was very welcoming, and her boyfriend doesn't speak any English! So hopefully we can start teaching him as well.
We were unable to teach Carol this week. She really wanted to come to church yesterday but a few days ago she slipped on her porch and hurt herself pretty badly. So it's kind of hard for her to get around. But we're going to see her tonight and check up on her and teach! So it will be great!
So, the best part about covering two wards is... TWO CHRISTMAS PARTIES!! Haha we had our other party this last Saturday. None of our investigators showed up... again. But, remember that grandma, daughter and grandaughter who were stranded in the Walmart parking lot and showed up to the other ward party? Well they live in the other wards boundary, so we invited them to this party this past Saturday. And they showed up! We were also able to find where they live and they are very interested in learning more about the church. So we are going to start teaching them this week!
There is this sweet sister in the ward, Sister Rassmussen and she is just awesome haha. This last week she each gave Elder Pullman and I a hand knitted scarf. She had been working on them for the past for months! And I love it.
I'm really looking forward to Christmas. The members here are so generous. We've been invited over for three meals on Christmas day. So once again, mom, you don't have to worry.
It's been snowing a little bit, but not enough to make it stick. It's mainly just been raining. I was really hoping for a white Christmas... oh well!
I absolutely love Christmas! Especially being a missionary! It's so important to always remember the reason for the season and the love that the Savior has for us.
Merry Christmas! I love you all!
