How is everyone doing this fine Monday? Elder Hanley here reporting to you on the Christmas Cheer we experienced this past week.
Honestly...not a ton. We had A LOT of good experiences with members, and with a few of our investigators, but work is slow around the Holiday season, because people are so busy. So, we haven't had too much of a successful week, but it's been a good one.
Thank you to everyone who sent me presents and letters! It means so much! So, on Christmas. We opened presents first thing (of course I waited till Christmas morning. What do I look like, a Scrooge?) and then we went caroling with our Zone Leaders.
Then, the Davis family was kind enough to let us use their home to Skype home, and that was a lot of fun! It was kind of funny, the Davis's were so busy, that they just let us in, turned on their computer and their tablet and then bounced. After the good experience of skyping home, we went and visited a bunch of members. And then...our dinner fell through.
I was a little disapointed about that, but the reason was actually our safety. The Wolf's live up this really, really steep hill, and our front-wheel drive car wasn't gonna make it up the hill through the snow, so, we went over to an investigators house instead.
We actually just planned to say hey, and to visit some more people, but when he found out we didn't have dinner, he invited us in to have Prime Rib with his whole family. They were SUPER nice, and we enjoyed that a lot.
Other than that, our Bishop is awesome. Not only is he doing missionary work, and trying to find people for us to teach, but he also out of the blue decided to come with us to a lesson with Juan and Mary, just to help us out.
JUAN AND MARY ARE DOING GREAT! They are just soaking up all of the lessons, and they want to be baptized. The only thing is, they have to come to church at least three times before that, so it will probably be in February when they get baptized. It's so cool though, Juan feels the spirit so well. Apparently, last Sunday, he couldn't come to church because he was working, and he was having a really bad day, when out of nowhere, a random guy walks up to him, and asks if he can say a prayer with him. So Juan says yes, and the guy prays for Juan to have a good day, then the guy walks away without saying another word to Juan. Juan said that just improved his day so much.
We think Juan might have met one of the Three Nephites. It's a possibility. We're not ruling it out, at least.
Thank you all so much for all the support you give me! Sorry there are no pictures, we are slackers who forgot to take pictures on Christmas. But I will send pictures home next week!
