Hi everyone!
This week we...
Had lessons with:
Damon and the McCalls
Cheri and the Murphys
Andrew and the Andersons
The Schaaf family
Lindsey and the Browns
Jess and the Lutz/Rushtons
We went to the Messiah choir practice
Had Interviews with president
Hosted a "Meet the Missionaries" night
Baked cookies to give
Found a service opportunity cleaning
Went to Baker Valley and Baker 2nd Christmas parties
Made Christmas crafts
We got to teach all of our lessons in member homes which was amazing! There are so many amazing fellowshippers in this area! All of our lessons went really well and Lindsey is planning to be baptized January 4th! She is super excited and so is the little branch she will be attending! Cheri and Andrew are excited for baptism also, we just gotta wait for the okay! Everyone is progressing really well!
The funniest lesson we had this week:
*says opening prayer
Mom: Ok kids sit down and listen for 5 minutes and if you can't do that then go to the other room so you don't distract from the lesson
Us: Awesome! We have a super fun video to show you! Are you ready!?
Kid #1: My favorite video is frozen! I'll go get it
Mom/us: No no no! This one is way better come watch!
Kid #2: hey hey hey hey hey ×10 tapping my shoulder watch flash jump! *proceeds to move his stuffed animal up and down
Kid #3 : I got to read in school today
Us: Reading is so good! Our favorite books are the bible and Book of Mormon do you read those?
Kid #3: yeah in class at school we read a chapter everyday
Mom: of the book of Mormon?
Kid#2: hey hey hey hey hey ×10 tapping my shoulder watch flash skip! *proceeds to move his stuffed animal up and down across the room
Mom: your teacher reads the book of Mormon to you in class?
Kid #1: hey mom where did frozen go?
Kid #3: ....
Mom: .......
Us: ..... well that's awesome! This video is super cool! *starts playing video ect...
Haha fun times lol
Speaking of kids, we had an activity with the older kids, the youth! We had an AMAZING "meet the missionaries night" that we put together with the youth! We had it at a members home and invited the ward missionaries. We didn't have any non members come but now that the youth know what will be happening they said they were excited to do another one and would bring their friends! During the activity we shared a short message about Jesus Christ, played fun "get to know you" games, and had snacks. I have learned that as long as there is food you are pretty much set lol.
I had my departing interview with president (the very last interview). I am so grateful that President Nygaard is my mission president, he has helped so many people in so many ways. He has the true Character of Christ. Shout out to mom and her inspired packages! Sister Nyggard was in need of Christmas craft ideas for zone conference during the interviews! Because of moms inspired (ness) we were able to share the ideas that were sent to us! Sister Nygaard thanks you and says you are the coolest mom ever! We also got to bake the cookie mix's that she sent, and give them out! The first batch were a little burnt.... but we got it down after that!
We also had so many Christmas parties! That was super fun and we saw lots of people we didn't recognize! Even someone who wants to meet with us now! Woohoo! That's all for this week! Remember to light the world one by one! Love you!
Love,
Sister Bailey:)
