Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!! Just 6 more days...weird. So soon. Anyways, this last week...oh, the exciting part of this last week. We had 2 lessons with our golden investigators. The first lesson was about the word of wisdom. It was actually kind of funny. Sister golden investigator said she would live it... all she has to give up is coffee...tea...and a little alcohol. Really it will be no big deal for her, but she doesn't like to waste things. She only drinks like 1 cup of coffee a day and the rest not very often, but we committed her to stop by the new year. Her husband said he could do it, no big deal. He only drinks 1 cup of coffee a day. Saturday we took them to a baptism of a girl from the singles ward. It was great! During the Holy Ghost talk, the girl who was baptized was asked how she felt the Holy Ghost. She said, peaceful and calm. For a long time our sister golden investigator has been hesitant to say whether or not she knew the church was true, mainly because everyone around her had said how they have had this powerful feeling in their hearts which they knew it was the Holy Ghost. When the baptism girl said peaceful and calm, it clicked for sister golden investigator. It was very moving, emotionally for her that baptism. Later she admitted that she believes that its true. Now they both believe it's true and they both want to be baptized. But they want to make their baptism date convenient for their daughter and family that lives in Utah. We are going to talk to them more fully in our next lesson. We have also been visiting with a lot of the less actives, one lady in particular, almost every day we see her. She's lonely. Every time we see her we tell her that we will be excited to see her at church on Sunday. We spent Saturday morning helping a lady in our ward move. She has a lot of stuff... Yeah. That's pretty much our lives. My life. Anyways, oh, we got a new ward mission leader yesterday. We actually didn't have one for about a month. But thing is, this new one travels a lot! So we'll see how that goes. Well, I love you all bunches and bunches. Hope you have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
