Hey Y'all!
This past week has
been really great and full of Christmas fun! On Thursday we had our Christmas
Zone Conference which was AMAZING. The first half was spent talking about the
power of the Book of Mormon and how we can use it better in our work. The Spirit
was so strong as people bore their testimonies of how it has changed their
lives. Then after lunch we got to play games and watch Christmas movies!
President said that we needed to relax a little bit so we all just hung out for
a while and Sister Mikesell and I spent most of the time playing cards with
another group of missionaries. We also played Heads up 7 up as a Zone:) It was
a well needed break from the grind of missionary work and everyone had a ton of
fun! We finished out Zone Conference by bringing the reverence back in and
talking about Christ and the Sacrament. That really is the reason we celebrate
Christmas and being on my mission during this season has helped me really
ponder everything that Christ has done for us.
That night we had
our ward Christmas Party. It was really nicely done and a lot of people showed
up. We even had a young girl who had been taught by missionaries in the past
come up to us and ask if we could teach her again! We got our pictures taken with
Santa and got a lot of leftover to take home:)
Earlier in the
week we went to visit a family and they are really big into hunting (Like
everyone else here) and they had a freezer full of deer steaks. They asked us
if we wanted any because they had too much but we declined because we didn't
know how to cook it. They insisted we take some and even showed us exactly how
to fry it up so we went home and made some really good deer soft tacos!
We are really
excited for this next week because a senior couple is coming to Elkins! They
are going to be such a great help and I know the work they do will help bring
even more people to Christ. Their names are the Bay's and they're from Florida.
I hope y'all are
having a great Christmas season and remember the real reason we celebrate!
I love you all!
