11 more days. Boo ya. This week was fun..really good actually! Oh flip! Changes were this week I just realized! Ha! We didn't have changes thank goodness but guess WHAT!? Elder Thorn is opening TAULABE!!!! Taulabe! The place I kept talking about about, 30 minutes away from Siguatepeque! When I heard that, I jumped up and started freaking out in the middle of changes. Do you even understand!? 1st (well we were 1st haha) time missionaries will live and work there! So stinking cool. So excited to see what happens there.
Also had our zone mtg. It was super good. I talked about the importance of having power when we teach and how we need to always work on that, and how in chapter 10 the first 4 things it mentions in there can make it possible. 1- Develop Christ-like attributes 2- Study the lessons 3- improve language 4- depend on spirit. Then we did a fun exercise where the missionaries had to stand on a table and preach to a booing "crowd". It was so funny. The hermana's went ham and the zone went crazy because it was so powerful haha. Then talked about the importance of working with members. It's so important people. And the 3 things to gain the confidence of members is:
1) loving them 2) giving service and 3) teaching them!
Ledrin is awesome as ever. Love that man more than anything. We are teaching 2 young men who are soooo awesome. Alex and Bryan. They're probably going to be baptized in January.
Also got the package! That's a fun story... That book is the greatest. Love it and it's perfect for Christmas. It's almost Christmas. I love Christmas and the spirit of it. Maybe it's not really the same here with the whole 90 degrees thing every day but I'm so thankful for this Christmas and to be able to give all I am to my Savior and King as a gift. You only get 2 Christmas's to say that. One thing I would like to invite you all this Christmas is before opening presents in the morning, to have prayer as a family...I think that'd be a great first present for Christ the 25th. A simple prayer of gratitude as a family. Right before opening presents.:)
This week I'm thankful for Christ, rejoicing, shepherds, miracles, charity, stars, family, inspiration, memories, angels, happiness, andddd Hope.
