So this week was pretty normal. We taught A LOT of lessons this week. So that was really cool! We taught 16 lessons and had 11 lessons with less actives. Pretty crazy week. There has been no time for tracting lately. We didn't have to knock any doors this week. We also have three people getting baptized this Saturday! The first one is Michelle Elfano. She contacted us a few weeks ago saying that she was taught by missionaries in the past and that she wasn't ready to be baptized then, but is ready now. So we have been meeting with her a lot lately and she had her baptismal interview on Saturday and is getting baptized this weekend! We literally have done nothing. She has basically baptized herself, haha but what's so cool is Sister Kellogg had taught her last year! She started her lessons and I'm ending them! So cool! Hopefully Sister Kellogg will get to come to the baptism.
The other two people getting baptized are the daughters of a recent convert. We see this family everyday. I love them. They had us over for dinner last night and we played basketball with them last Monday. The girls (Lauren and Sheridan) have their interview tomorrow and I hope all goes well! I love these girls. They are 14 and 12 and I know that if they get baptized now that it will only help them in their future lives. It's so fun bringing whole families into the church.
So for my New Years Eve I partied hard! Hahaha just kidding. I went to bed at 10:30 like usual. :) We were only allowed to go visit members that night so we stopped by a lot of older ladies. We have a lot of ladies in the ward who are all alone so we went and spent New Years Eve with them. On New Years Day we had a zone meeting and it was really good. We had great trainings. Then all the sisters in the zone went and got lunch together. I love being with other missionaries. That's always the most fun when you get to be with other missionaries and just talk about all your cool experiences and miracles
Oh, speaking of miracles! Here's one for the week. So we were supposed to have an appointment with this lady and we showed up, but she wasn't there. So we started driving down the road and on the side of the road we saw this car and people trying to push it. So of course we pulled into the nearest parking lot and went to go help. We helped this women and her uncle push the car into the parking lot. Their car had just randomly broken down. So they were stuck. We talked to them for a long time and then because they couldn't go anywhere we taught the restoration!! Haha I love when people can't shut the door on you :) Well the women LOVED all that we said. She took a Book of Mormon and said that she saw Christ in us. She said that she usually panics in situations like this, but talking to us she felt completely at peace. She said that she wants to know more and feel this great feeling (the Spirit) again. We got her information and unfortunately she isn't in our area, but we sent her info off to the missionaries in her area and I know that she is going to be baptized. It was just such a cool experience. We were led to her and she was prepared to hear the gospel. I just love it!
Well that's all for now folks! I love you all and have a great New Year!!! Don't give up on those resolutions just yet :) Try to make a goal of coming closer to Christ whether its reading in the scriptures or just trying to be more Christ-like in all your doings. Make this year a great one!! Love you!
