Well, it's been a great week. Transfers were rough, due to the
fact that I really didn't want to leave. But I do what the lord wants. Lol. It
was way cool! I got to see Elder Higbee AND Nathan. We got a few pics. Lol!!!!
I am happy to be in San Angelo YSA. However, I am entering
a 5 week break where NOBODY is at school, so we have had to figure out what to
do with our time. On Thursday we were at a member’s house and I felt
prompted to ask her if she knew where we could go to contact and be
effective. She thought about it for a moment and said, “Well, I wonder if
you could go to the mall and sit and help people make New Year’s
resolutions. We thought about that, then an impression came that we
should try that, but set up a projector and screen and show #He is the
gift!!!! So, we go to the mall to ask permission. They say no … That doesn't
stop us. So, we go to Wal-Mart. They say no too. That doesn't stop
us... so we call an "emergency" meeting with all the
missionaries in San Angelo. We all meet at the institute and this is what we
come up with:
FRIDAY, SAT, SUN AND LATER THIS WEEK WE WILL GO TO
"THE RIVER WALK. IT'S A HUGE COMMUNITY EVENT! HUGE! SET UP A PROJECTOR AND
SCREEN AND GIVE AWAY FREE HOT CHOCOLATE!!! WE GOT A HEALTH PERMIT AND IN THE
PAST 3 DAYS WE HAVE TALKED TO JUST ABOUT 700 PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! It has been
amazing. People pull up in their cars. We give them free hot cocoa and a card
and they go on their way!! We pulled all of this together in 12
hours!!!!! It was amazing and totally by the Spirit! We have had hot coco donated from
the members of the San Angelo ward. We have had cups donated… not enough… so I
invested in it as well. We have given away about 50 gallons of hot
chocolate, so we have had hot water boiling and sitting in 5 gal
thermoses for a while!!! It's been an amazing miracle!!! I am so happy
with it!!!! Pray people check out the website and want us to come
over!!!!!!!
Anyway, I have been loving the 12 days of Christmas!
My tree is looking good. However, yesterday I think mine and Derrick’s
stories got messed up because my ornament was of feet and the story was of
the $10 and today was $10 and the coat story again… So I'll send Derrick
the repeat story :) It's been a cute story... Let's be honest… I hope
the 11th gift is T’was The Night Before Christmas... I think I might be a
day ahead.. I don't know :) But I love it!! I read the stories during studies
and most of the time a little tear comes in my eye because all the stories
are tender :)
Tomorrow is the Christmas party in Midland. I am so
sad I am not in the north part of the mission because all of my friends
are in the north and I am in the south... booo...
Um anything else... the church is true! it's amazing! Merry
Christmas! And I hope y’all be happy and safe.
Oh! About my companion… MUCH BETTER THAN LAST TRANSFER! Me
and Sister G laugh all the time. Like, all the time… there is very little
silence. She came out with me, but has to go home a transfer early because
of some law crap that happened before she came out. So, she has to
see a lawyer before her release date… so I am killing her too :) She is
super great!!! Love her a lot!!! Laughing is so good. And the branch sees that
we get along super well and have been commenting on it! Oh! Also, my
branch is a full 12 people... so the sacrament song takes longer to sing
than the actual passing of it. Lol!!!!!!!!!! So that is that!
Love
ya!
Be safe and be smart!!
