This week was just a hoot!!!! I'm so thankful that I get to be a missionary and serve my Savior daily. The gospel brings joy and boy does it fill myself up.
This week was really good. Campus ended on Wednesday so we have had to switch gears and go back to our knocking doors mentality. Tracting is one of the best and hardest things to do as a missionary. Its never really easy but somehow its always worth it and is always fun. We did a ton of it this week and saw some cool miracles from it. Yesterday, for instance, I had a dream about finding. (Yeah it's weird, you even dream about being a missionary now) but I woke up and an apartment complex popped into my head from my dream. As soon as church was over we rushed over to it and started finding. After some doors we found Connor. He is a super awesome guy and took a Book of Mormon and is going to start reading. Heavenly Father works in some fun ways.
Since everyone left for Christmas here, we've also been having a lot of lessons of Facetime. I'm so thankful for the technology that we have to keep in contact. This week we Facetimed someone we are teaching and after 2 weeks she's already read half of the Book of Mormon and committed herself to get baptized. She just wants to have the gospel. She came to church and loved all of it. She even read about the Word of Wisdom and stopped drinking tea before we even told her about it (which is a huge deal in the south, they love their sweet tea).
I also got to go up to Crockett, Texas this week on an exchange. My older sister served in that branch while she was on her mission so it was really fun to meet members that knew who she was. I even got to drive the Truck they have, which is a blessing after being on a bike for the past 9 months. I love how Heavenly Father has put me in places that just prove to me that He cares about me.
This week was just a good week and has left me wanting to be even better. I'm so thankful for my Savior and for this Christmas season. I absolutely love being a missionary and spreading his gospel. I'm thankful for all He has done for me and can do for you. We can always grow thanks to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Love y'all and God bless!!
Ps: Elder Potter and I are doing Christmas cards so if any of y'all want one, please email me your address so I can send you one!
