I hope you all have had a great week!
So we had a great week this week! J. wants to be baptized and she decided on March 18th, which is actually her birthday!! It's so sweet!
C. couldn't come to the Christmas party or church this week (we think because of the snow and freezing rain), but we did get to meet with him and R. (his girlfriend) on Wednesday which was sweet! We hope to go back and see them tonight or tomorrow.
We've been contacting people in the area to confirm with them that they would like to have some donated food brought over to them for Christmas, and it was a really cool opportunity to meet people!! There was one lady named E. who was super nice and she has been wanting to get into religion! We were able to share a message with her and become pretty good friends. We will be checking back with her this week! :)
The church had a pipe break so on Sunday rather than ward council meeting, we cleaned out water! The building is all ok now though. :)
Elder C. and I are great!! Last night we had a really cool contact with a guy who we actually are going to start teaching, and Elder C. took the lead and did most of the talking, which was really awesome! He is a really good guy! Elder D. and C. seem to be getting along really well, so that is awesome! They found 10 people to begin teaching this week! ;) The Sisters also are doing well. Sister D. was really sick but she is doing better now.
I'm still working on being District Leader. Teaching this week was a lot more fun because I knew what to expect from the week before. It is actually really fun to get to teach and lead the conversation! The Zone Leaders give me good advice after each meeting, so that has been nice to have them there to help me improve and change! Elder M. and Elder W. are super great, Elder C. says that we are lucky because they are really good Zone Leaders, and I agree!
So for Christmas I'll probably be calling you from the G.'s house, so that'll be fun!
We have a half mission Christmas meeting this week that will be at the Joseph Smith Memorial, which is where the prophet was born, so that will be really cool too! :)
Sure love you all and Merry Christmas!!
Elder Hunter Branch :)
Baby it's cold outside!
During our dinner hour,
we made magic cookie bars for our friend
who had a loved one pass away.
Good report, Elder Branch. Sorry to hear about the water problem in the ward bldg, but baptism and lots of people to teach sounds good. I want to vusit your area before I die, to see the church history memorials back there, but it won't be in the winter. Merry Christmas!!
