Good Morning Mom and Dad!
I honestly have no idea when I will be able to e-mail next p-day because I am being transfered this Wednesday. I have no idea where or who my new companion will be. I just know I am really going to miss Sister Williams she has helped me to grow so much as a missionary and really help me overcome my fear of talking with people. So if Jenny and Allen could send my package to the mission office that would be awesome. 905 Kierre Dr., North Little Rock, AR, 72116-3709....(You might want to double check that zip code)
I love daddy too! I hope everything with work is going well!
And to clear up the confusion I love the name Trixie. I think it is super cute and perfect for a little elf.
I was so glad to be able to talk to ya'll you all look so awesome and I love you all so much! I am sorry the morning had been stressful. But I know that we were having a ton of success that Christmas morning so it was all totally worth it...right?!? 2014 is going to be totally amazing I am so excited for it to come! Only 2 more days to wait!
I am glad the package got there... (there is a picture in the "walk in the park" one can you write the name sister foster and Little Rock on the back of it?) thank you so much.
I bet your talk was awesome!! Wish I was there for it! We had our spanish investigator, Juana, come to church this last Sunday and I had to try and translate for her... what a joke... but the Gospel Essentials class was fabulous I was able to teach the first lesson about how God is our loving heavenly father. We had a couple ward members in the class that bore their testimonies and I was able to translate it was really pretty awesome... and the spirit was super strong. But third hour came and it was impossible to translate for her at the rate and depth that they were talking about so she eventually fell asleep...oops. But the second hour was totally worth it.
I bet the Primary sounded like a choir of angels!
Dad...going shopping??? Oh I can tell that he is just going to love that! You are going to have to send pictures of the new outfits...maybe even a fashion show!
I am a little bit envious that you got to go shopping with Laura! I tried to get you to go shopping with me all the time...maybe that was the problem! lol teehee.
So I need to tell you about Christmas Eve and Christmas. We were able to find a TON of english investigators it was absolutely amazing and we found this one family that was super elect the dad's name is Cory and he has three young children, we didn't get to meet the mom but we were able to pray with him and give a brief synopsis of the Restoration, we have an appointment tomorrow to teach him the full lesson. He had just recently moved and was actually looking for a church to attend. We had actually received him as a referral from 3 different people! It was amazing!
Christmas was awesome we were able to eat with the Clements and the Lands. They are pretty much our adopted family here in Pocahontas. Love them so Super much!
Then two days ago was a total joke of a day. It started out with me burning my hand with my flat iron and then just went downhill from there. No one wanted to talk to us... All of our appointments fell through... by the end of the day I was ready to just punch my pillow..(aggressive, I know!) But the mercy of the Lord is amazing we have had the best week of teaching than we have ever had! We were able to teach 17 lessons, 2 member present lessons, 9 Recent convert/ less active member lessons, and we received 7 new investigators! How awesome is that! I am super sad to be leaving this area but I know there are others that I need to find and teach.
...ummm...that was pretty much our week....
Love ya'll so much!
Have a happy new year!
