Week 31

Happy birthday to my brother Johnny! He's feeling 22. He probably doesn't read these emails so someone tell him for me.

We had an awesome week! The hightlight would have to be our lesson with Vicki and Greg. In case you've forgotten, their daughter Bailey was baptized in March when she was a senior. She's at BYU but just came home for Christmas break. Her parents have been coming to church for probably two years now but haven't been baptized. Anways Bailey signed up to have us over for dinner lol and it was SO FUN! I love their family. We chatted it up then had a lesson on the restoration. We found out they've never read the Book of Mormon so that was our invite! I don't know why but the vibes were just so good. We talked all about BYU, her classes, (she's also a dancer), then had the most spirit filled lesson. It's also exciting because we've been trying to teach Vicki and Greg since I got here 3 months ago and we're finally gaining momentum! I have so much love for that family! This is why missionary work is awesome!

You guys, Sister Brown always makes me laugh when I pray in big groups. Both times have been on important leadership calls, and both times I've been mortified. The first time I was trying so hard to keep it together I swear but I burst out laughing when closing the prayer. If I die while I'm here, it'll be from embarrassment because I can't control myself.

This past transfer, we've memorized The Living Christ as a mission in preparation for our Christmas zone conference. The last line says, "God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son." The greatest gift we can give and recieve this Christmas season is Jesus Christ! There are so many ways to share His light, but we also have to remember to recieve His light into our lives. My invitation is to lean on the Savior more fully in your life. "He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come."

Send pictures of Utah please and thank you. Have a great week!!! I love you all.

Surprise it's Wednesday. Our pday was switched because we got to go to the temple today!! I miss being able to go to the temple whenever. We're assigned a day every other transfer. This week was one of my favorites so far. The hard parts made it even better which I'll talk more about later. I went on an exchange with Sister Thomas (the new Sister in our zone) and it was awesome! Two little missionaries hanging out all day. She goes home the same transfer as me because I'm assigned 13 so we're in this thing together. We had zone conference and San Clemente had interviews with President/Sister Carter, so I got to see them a lot! Have I mentioned they're the greatest? Wow okay Sunday!! This sounds dramatic but it could've been my favorite day on the mission so far. We had a lesson with a marine named Wetterman on Saturday (which he brought his friend Williamson to) and they both showed up to church the next day! Braden, a marine we taught two weeks ago, also sh...

Hiiii everyone! I love my mission. Update on Cricket is that she's been quite unresponsive what?! Homecoming was this past week and let me tell you the high schools here go ALL OUT for everything- especially dances. So she was really living up the homecoming week, attended a few youth activites (which we didn't know about until after the fact), and therefore did not meet with us. She still wants to get baptized on the 28th which is the funny thing. We were like okay Cricket, in order for you to be prepared for your baptism we need to have at least 5 more lessons because we have so much to teach still. She got the memo but then didn't get the memo and we didn't have a single lesson. In conclusion, baptism is happening but probably getting pushed back which is still a win. Luisa is my favorite. I love her so much. She loves the gospel of Jesus Christ! She's been an amazing example to me of being eager to learn more. We send her lots of chapters/general conference talk...
