Companion: Elder Wolfley
This week has been sweet. Sorry I didn’t write an email last week. Christmas was a ton of fun, but we were pretty much running from place to place all day long.
Monday was of course Christmas. We went to a member's house for breakfast and then we watched the kids open their presents. They also got us a few things. Then we went to a part member family’s house for lunch. The wife is from the Philippines, she made sweet spaghetti and this stuff that is kinda like whiteish jello/pudding with corn in it. I thought it was alright, it tasted good it was just a weird consistency. But poor Elder Wolfley couldn’t do it. We were already stuffed and he could only take a few bites. Then later we went to our ward mission leader's house and had dinner and watched Ephriams Rescue. I had never seen it and it touched me deeply.
Tuesday we were at a member's home for dinner. We talked about the Plan of Salvation and the great blessing to know of the gospel. The RM daughter told us to go see one of her friends but the rest of the family said they didn’t know anyone. Then I was asked to say the closing prayer. Right after the prayer, after asking for people to teach, the mother said “during the prayer the name of one of my friends popped into my mind. I think she could be ready.” It was a sweet experience and we are excited to get that moving along.
Wednesday I went on exchanges to the Yellow Creek branch. It is even further into the boons than Gallatin. But it was a lot of fun. We got to teach some people and I got to hang out with Elder Duerksen all day.
Thursday we exchanged back and did weekly planning. We visited a few people but nothing too special.
Friday was fun, we drove all the way around our area. We drove to a town all the way in the corner of our area called McFall. We found a young man in his twenties. We were able to share the message of the restoration with him. He said that we could come back this week and talk about it more with him.
Saturday we got to teach an Amish family. It was awesome and they are really nice people. We also got back in contact with some of our investigators. It was a solid day of work, but not too much to report on.
It was really cold this week, so people haven’t been as inclined to open up their doors. But that is ok.
Missionary work is the best. Thank you so much for all that you guys do!
