Christmas is a comin'!

Hello Everyone!

This week was really good! My companion and I set up our Christmas tree, we've been eatin' some Christmas candy, we've been listening to Christmas music, and we've been talkin' to people about Christmas! It's been wonderful!
This week we were able to hand out several "He is the Gift" cards and show a lot of people the video! It truly is a wonderful initiative the Church has put out! Christ is the reason for the season! I encourage you all to share the video with your friends! Whether it's on social media or giving them a card, I know that it will bless their lives and ours!
We were able to offer some service this week as well! We helped an older couple in our ward rake their leaves and we were also able to help some people move! Haha and then the other day we were riding our bikes and we were about to pass by some people sitting on their porch. I tried waving at them and then looked in front of me to see two little dogs run into the road after me! I swerved to miss them and then sped up a little! I thought they would have stopped after that, but one was persistent and started chasing after me! I got quite the adrenaline rush! So that's when I really started trying to go fast and I eventually out-raced him! And then he chased after my companion for a little while!
Two of our investigators,were at Church yesterday! It was really nice to see them there and they said they really enjoyed it! It was fast and testimony meeting and there were several pure, sincere testimonies born. Every time I hear a testimony or I bear my own testimony, I can feel my conversion deepen and my faith in Jesus Christ grow. I know that Jesus is the Christ and I hope that we can all focus on Him during this season and always. I love you all and hope everyone has a week full of joy and peace!

With Love,
