HELLO! Things are going good. This week was interesting.
To start off we had 3 ward Christmas parties this week. We invited a ton of non-members to come, like usually, not many came, but it was still a good time! Our District watched this video of some members and missionaries in Brazil let go of a bunch of lighted balloons, so we decided to do the same thing in our stake. We got a bunch of lighted balloons for #lighttheworld, went to our stake center for a devotional thing we put together (right in front of the temple). Sadly the day we did it the weather was super bad, so we just kept the balloons instead of letting them go into the night sky. It was still a success and a lot of people came! It was fun!
We also thought of involving the youth more, so took 5 minutes in each class and we went to all 24 seminary classes and challenged them to serve others this Christmas time and share the gospel. It took a while to hit all 24 classes this week, but we did it.
Investigators here: Harry Hale is doing good, he really, really wants to be baptized, but doesn't really have that strong of testimony that this is the one and only true church because he doesn't really have that strong of a testimony of the Book of Mormon. But he really, really wants to join. He wants to get baptized this month or next.
Ekharts, super cool, Gavin is great. We invited him to church, but he works Sundays but he said if his boss doesn't let him have Sundays off he will just quit. Next thing we know he shows up church this Sunday with a big smile on his face. It was super cool! He also had his Birthday, he is 17 now, he has been reading from the Book of Mormon and wants to sign up for seminary next year! The rest of the Ekharts are doing good too. They were all at church this Sunday.
Also my companion got re-evaluated and got a new mission call!!! He opened it Friday night and is going to Atlanta Georgia! I was so happy for him, he enters the MTC December 20th!
The Gospel is True, it will bring you peace and happiness, it will be hard, but it is truth and light!
