Hello family! Happy Christmas!
I love being a missionary.
It is awesome; full of awe! I received a new companion!
My new companion is Sister Anderson! I love her! She has 11 weeks
left. Crazy! She served in Gainesville once before! Rarely do
missionaries go back to the place they already served. This is her
second Christmas here in Gville. So she knows a lot. I am excited to
serve with her.
I spoke in church yesterday about the birth of Christ and "good
tidings of great joy"! People told me different things, which is good I
guess because hopefully it was done by the spirit and each received
what they needed. T, an investigator, said it was a very calming
talk, a member from the Bishopbric said it was spot on, B, an
investigator, said it was very informative and more geared towards
children. One sister said, "You tell stories so well! I have the
attention span of a 5 year old but you got me to listen the whole time. I
want you to come over to my house and share stories like that with me
more!" Haha! I'm not sure if that was a compliment or not haha. :) I was
nervous because it was Christmas and the youth speaker didn't show.
(She was a recent convert who was supposed to speak. We helped her with
her talk and she had it ready but didn't show. I think she got scared.
That's okay though. I hope she doesn't feel like she can't show her face
anymore. We still love her.) Bishop Eliason was the other speaker and
there were only 2 musical numbers. I did my best to follow the
spirit, teach doctrine and share personal experiences. I covered Luke 2
and 3 Ne. 1.
