Tis the Season

Hallo everyone, 
Hope y'all have had a great week, this week we have been focusing a lot on serving because of Christmas time and I never realized how many Ebenezer Scrooges there are in the world. Like for real we knock on people's door and ask if we can take their yard and they're like "who do you think you are this is my yard"...some people need to chill.

 We have been able to show quite a few people the Light the World video which is amazing and always brings the spirit. This one person we showed it to and somehow that conversation turned from him talking about 3 bibles to how we need to enlist in the army. Then he sees someone drive past and he waves at him, then turns to us and says "that's my nephew, all he does is kill people and steal money, I've tried to talk to him but he's so stubborn he won't listen" so that's always fun to hear especially as missionaries. 

Other than this week has been kinda discouraging because we literally can't get any lessons. We will set up appointments, call them that morning, and then they will cancel, or we show up and they aren't there. This has been happening to every investigator and so we need to find ways to fill the day which usually means street contacting (my least favorite because literally everyone we walk up to could possibly have a gun or something) or service (more fun but nobody is interested...yee)

So yeah that's pretty much it. For those of you who didn't see the first presidency Christmas devotional last night it was super awesome, and u can check it out on lds.org or BYUtv. I know this church is true, and that by serving others the way Christ did we are not only becoming more like him, but helping others feel the love of Christ. Love and miss y'all!
