Hey everyone! merry Christmas! I can't believe it is all
ready here again! Time is really flying by! This week was very enjoyable!
Monday: Monday as pretty relaxed. We started of our day
with going over to Dr. Prince's home. (He is the same guy who owns the farm we
work at.) We sat in his Library ate some cheese and had some very interesting
discussions. It was quite nice. For the rest of that day we pretty much spent
it on shopping. One of the places we went to was a church book store. Elder
Bentley, our roommates and I bought a Book of Mormon for this lady at works at
Chick Fil A. All of us have been going to Chick Fil A pretty often for the last
transfer and almost every single time we go she gives us free food. This lady
isn't a member so we thought that a nice Book of Mormon with her name engraved
was a very appropriate gift. We also made a shirt with a picture of our faces
haha! It's pretty awesome! That's how we spent most of our Monday.
Tuesday: We worked on the farm and had a good ole time as
always.
Wednesday: Most of the day was taken up by our transfer
meeting.
Nothing crazy happened, most of the people stayed in the
same areas.
After transfer meeting we visited a few members in our
ward and checked on referrals from the Christmas events they are putting on at
the visitor center. We have about 15 people that we need to get a hold of, but
they are doing a really good job at hiding. We have only been able to get a
hold of three of them and they told us that they were not interested.
Thursday: We visited with some less active members. One
man we visited with is from Turkey. He is a very cool guy, he has been in the
United States for most of his life. He immigrated to the US when he was very
young. He became a tailor by trade and had become very success until 2008 when the market crashed. He had owned shops all around the
country, but unfortunately he had to close down most of them. He now works in
Chevy Chase. He can't come to church because he works every Sunday, but he told
us that he is planning on retiring sometime in January so he can start going to
church again.
Friday: Us and our roommates went to Chick Fil A for
lunch and we gave that lady the gifts that we got her. We told her she could
only open the Christmas Cards and she has to wait till Christmas to open the
other ones. She was very excited and very happy. After that we spent most of
the day trying to contact those referrals again with little success
Saturday: We started our day with teaching one of our
investigators about the plan of salvation. It went pretty well. He gets
distracted very easily so we are going to have to teach him differently, so he
will be able to concentrate. After that lesson we spent the rest of the day
contacting and trying to build our teaching pool.
Sunday: we had our normal Church services. Five of our
investigators were suppose to show up, but they all got hung up with something. After Church we visited with some family's and then later
in the evening we went to the Festival of Lights. At the Festival of Lights we
saw three of our investigators! It was awesome! We got to set up an appointment
with all of them. I also saw a very familiar face that I have not seen in about
a year and 5 months. Elder Allen was visiting the temple visitor center! It was
so great to see him. Sounds like he is doing an awesome job!
I hope you all have a very merry Christmas! Thanks for all you do!
