Christmas in Baker City


This week started out great! We got to go Caroling with our mission mom, Sister McCall! We usually have a lesson every Monday evening in the McCall home, but they decided to switch it up a bit and we went caroling! It was a blast!

That brings us to Christmas eve. What even happened Christmas eve...? Um... oh yeah! We weren't allowed to go visit people, so we got to play games with other missionaries! We also finally got to watch the Christmas devotional oops. It was so good though! They even sang one of the songs from Handels Messiah! Cool stuff. After all that we got to go to one of our recent converts home and help her prepare for Christmas dinner that we would be having the next day. On Christmas we played Christmas Jeopardy/games with the missionaries and it was a blast! Then we had our dinners, yes dinners as in multiple... no matter who it is, everyone just wants to feed the missionaries, non members and members. I'm not complaining though lol. Someone gave us a whole frozen Turkey and potatoes and gravy... idk when we are gonna have time to cook it but it's there. At the end of the day we went to the Lutz's home and watched Big Hero 6 with them, a recent convert, and her non member husband as well! SHOUT OUT TO AUDREY. Literally during the whole movie I was cracking up because I was thinking about how we couldn't even breath when we watched that movie. Haha wow. Good times.

Then the day after Christmas we tried to contact literally everyone, because everyone is super happy, with family, and home. Mega score. We also had a lesson with Cheri! She is amazing. She is so prepared! We also had a lesson with Josh and went to visit Pam and Anthony. We finally are getting to his deep questions and what he really wants. Now we can help him. It has been to cool to see his demeanor change slightly through our words and questions. He is now willing to keep commitments extended to him. Pam and Anthony are so excited to start lessons and learn more. She even wants to donate money to the missionaries because of what we do! They are the nicest people ever!

We went to Halfway this week for Lindsey's baptismal interview! She is so excited! Her brother Gabriel now wants to take the lessons and be baptized as well. MIRACLES! This work is truly amazing and the Lord is truly preparing everyone to receive the gospel. We also found someone named Dalton Baker who is willing to take the lessons. He has lots of friends who are missionaries and wants to see what exactly they are doing!

As of yesterday, the countdown was at 10 days left. My companion, Sister Stevenson and I, decided to tell our third companion, Sister Bateman that we are going home. She thought is was funny so we are all good there! Now we can help prepare her for taking over the area!

Love you all!
Love,
Sister Bailey :)
