Hey everyone!
Wow it sounds like its pretty cold there i remember scraping frost off the windshield in the morning glad i don't have to do that for a little while. Its kind of weird here though it got down to like 35 one day while we were knocking and we were both freezing it felt like it was 0 degrees outside i think it was because of the humidity. But we had a fun ward Christmas party on Saturday we had a really good meal along with some entertainment and the live nativity play it was pretty fun. Me and my companion went to a local thrift shop and bought some old Christmas sweaters for the party. They were only 3 bucks each but they keep you really warm i ended up liking it ha ha. It was pretty fun wearing them to the party. Thanks so much for the Christmas picture it looks really good! I'm sure the house looks all nice and decorated. We do have a small artifical Christmas tree in our apartment that had a few bulbs on it but my companion knocked it off the counter so it shattered all the bulbs but the lights still work so its nice having it in the apartment. I'm pretty excited for next Monday a member has offered to take us out to a great BBQ place its called the Salt Lick. It's supposed to be really good but its out of our area so we called the President and he said that would be fine. We had something pretty cool happen this week with the lady in the wheelchair her name is Janis Payne. She kept cancelling appointments on us because she would say she is in too much pain or doesnt feel good so finally we offered to come over and give her a blessing. She didn't really know what was going on but she said she would like one. My companion annointed her with the oil and then i sealed it and gave her the blessing. She looked pretty astonished when we were done. She then told us that she had never felt something like that before. She said that for the past 19 years she has always had bad pains in her shoulders. She said it doesn't matter how many pain pills she takes she said that its always there. But then she told us that this is the first time in 19 years that she hasnt had pain in her shoulders. She was pretty amazed she really couldn't believe it and honestly i couldn't either. I think at that point she recognized us as true representatives of Jesus Christ and everything now clicked with the Priesthood and authority. It was pretty cool to witness we went on to teach her and she just kept feeling and rubbing her shoulders and thats all she wanted to talk about. So we went back the next day and taught her the Word of Wisdom because she smokes and drinks coffee. She said she is really going to try to quit we brought her a how to stop smoking packet that the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve put together. Its supposed to work in a week its just a routine throughout the day to follow. It calls for a few things so we went and bought her some grapefruit juice and cinnamon mouthwash and some vitamin c pills and gave them to her. We then told her that we would be calling her everyday to see how things are going and stopping by at the end of our nights and just talking with her to see how she is doing. I'm kind of sad because that was like 4 days ago and she hasn't returned our calls and either hasn't been home or hasn't answered the door when we gone by. So i don't know she pretty much saw a miracle and now won't do anything about it. We aren't even sure right now if she is using the program but oh well there isn't much we can do at this point until we can get in contact with her. So thats been how my week has gone we have done a lot of knocking we haven't had hardly any appointments. But we are still having a good time. I'm really excited to hear about Chantel getting her new baby! I can't wait to see a picture. I can't believe that me Candace and Courtney will be aunts and uncles and you Mom and Dad will be a Grandma and Grandpa! That's pretty crazy and you aren't even 50 yet dad ha ha.
Well everyone glad to hear that you are all doing well.
Wish you the best I love ya!:)
