Happy December!

Hi everyone! ❤❤❤

My comp and I had a pretty great week. Missionary life is the best. We met four new friends! What a miracle. We met Jenny door knocking! As soon as we introduced ourselves, she asked if we wanted to come in and talk. She told us she has three kids. One in NZ (where my comp is from) one in Canada (where I am from, AGH!) and one in Australia. Having connections make things so much better. She was so sweet and so willing to hear what we had to say. She told us that she believed in God and in Jesus Christ and was interested in learning more about Christ and His teachings. We had just the right book for her, haha. We gave her a Book of Mormon and testified of its truthfulness. She asked us how much it would cost! When we told her it was free, and she was so grateful. God had prepared her for us, and I am so excited to get to know her better. God guided us to her, and it was so beautiful. 

We went and visited some friends, Byran and Jennifer. Byran is 10 and he hasn't been baptized yet. When we went and visited and one of the first things that Byran said to us was, "I can't believe I'm 10 and not baptized yet." That took us by surprise. We are going to start teaching him and Jennifer, his mom, the lessons so that they can be baptized in the upcoming year. This experience was also a testimony to me that God is preparing people. 

We went and saw the Pule's, an inactive family! They have been inactive for over 10 years. They had been thinking about coming back to church for the past three weeks. With certain family situations going on they have felt promptings to return. They told us that our visit was the confirmation they needed, and they came to church!!! We also had this other older Samoan man in our ward who has been inactive come to church for the first time in almost a year. He is the best and I absolutely love talking with him. He brings so much joy into my day!

I love this work and I know God is guiding me every day. Life is so beautiful :)) I hope all is well at home. I pray for you all often. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you, and HAPPY DECEMBER! 🌲 (the best time of the year) Love you all loads!!!
