Week 4!! Merry Christmas!!!

December 23, 2013

Hey what up world!!!!! Man this week has been so much better then last week! We had the BEST Christmas program ever, all about the Savior and his life. I've never had the spirit testify stronger to me that Jesus is the Christ and the Savior of the world. I've never had a stronger love for my savior. We had a few lessons this week, but campus is practically deserted because of Christmas break, but hopefully we'll have things to do this week. And I just bought 5 pounds of bananas and for some reason that makes like super happy!!!! And some apples. Go produce!

       There was an awesome baptismal service yesterday for the sisters in our branch, the spirit was good and strong there. Her name is Sierra, and she was just all smiles the entire time. That's their 2nd baptism this month, which is dang good, and they had a 3rd on date but had to push it back. We also have a baptism this Saturday, Ken, for me and Elder Davis, so WOOT, that will be my first one here in the mission!! Ken is a sweet guy, so happy he's gonna be able to have all these blessings in his life. The YSA Branch is a really good area most of the time, just not during Christmas... and the Sisters have a car, so they can actually go out and do more than find on campus unlike us. But they're great.

       We went on exchanges Friday morning until Saturday evening, which were by far the best 2 days I've had on my mission. It was with Zone leader Elder Tavake, and me and him are super tight, He's a poly from San Francisco, and is just the coolest guy ever. Haha we planned to take me back at like 4 on Saturday, but he kept for like the entire day cause we were just killing it. Love that guy so much. He's in one of the pictures. We were just busy the entire time, going to appointments to less actives to potentials, and we got a new investigator named Alma, and she's like the sweetest lady ever, she loves God so much. Best time ever.

      Well, Christmas in in like 2 days, so MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! I hope you all have an absolutely fantastic Christmas season!! Keep Christ close in your hearts, he can make everything better in your life if you let him. He's the reason for the season, and He loves all of us so much!!! I Love all of you so much and send the best of wishes to everything in your lives!!! Love life you guys, it rocks!!!!
