Hey!!! Miss y'all :) Can't wait until Christmas to
call home! So the week was great! Monday through Friday we delivered Secret
Santa gifts (ding dong ditch style) to some of the empty nesters in the ward
for our Relief Society President and then Saturday there was a reveal party for
everyone to find out who delivered to them! That was a lot of fun. Tuesday was
great! We helped out at Papa Kelsey's and decorated/did dishes and stuff (we go
there everyday to help out if they are busy while we eat and stuff since they
are so nice and give us discount or free sometimes). Wednesday and Thursday we
went out to Tom's house and farm with Roland, Tyler, and Korby (Hutchinsons,
Tyler is upper 20s and Korby is 21) and we helped clean up/do service all day
on both days. It was fun cause it snowed so we threw snowballs and stuff haha.
But there was a lot of heavy lifting involved! Farm equipment is not light!
Saturday was Wanda's baptism!!! I loved it. It was so spiritual. The spirit was
so strong and you could just feel it so full there and everyone felt it! I know
it. My talk that I prepared on the Holy Ghost was not even a factor because
when I got up to speak I didn't even use that talk! I just spoke whatever
thoughts the Spirit prompted me with! It was great though and everyone said
they loved it ( I saw tears ahha almost did myself too) President and Sister
Curtis came and they said they loved my words! She commented on our sign we
made about "He is the Gift" in Papa Kelsey's (I sent it to her) and
she said they loved it! They are awesome. We went to the Wright's that night.
(really cool, chill family. Sons are 12 and 10. They are fun kids ahha the Dad
is non-member but really cool and the rest of the family is fully active. Then
we went to deliver a secret Santa gift to a Part Member Family, the Larsens,
and they loved it! We got in their house and shared a message and they are way
nice and told us to come by often! She came to church the next day (he is the
non-member and works a lot but he is from Texas so we got along great).
Sunday was awesome. We went to Mark's for lunch and he has so many questions
about Joseph Smith and he said he is so drawn to our church for some reason!
Went to the Schofield’s that night cause Brian and Caitlin came into town! She
graduated on Friday from BYU-ID! Brian's sister Anna was there, with her family
and they are really fun. Her oldest is 10 or 11 I think. I love the whole
Schofield family! Anyways I am excited for this week and I love Christmas time.
Go watch the Worlds Largest Nativity on the Piano Guys Youtube channel!! It is
sooo good. Really brings in the spirit of Christmas!
