Yeah for the Holidays!!

Hello everyone!! This week has been great!! So many hearts have been open because of the Christmas season and it is truly a blessing!!

Tuesday: we tracked soooo much! We decided to zone our area which means picking 2 hot spots on where we should spend our finding time!! Our zones we have prayed about are two really great places! On tuesday we already found 4 new people to teach!! Yes in one day!! That never happens in Blairsville! It was confirmed to me that we were in the right place and exactly where the lord needed us! We met a lady named Mary and this will most likely be her last christmas. She has many health issues and is very concerned about leaving her 3 kids! We were able to teach her the plan of salvation this week & wow i am so excited for her to come to know the truthfulness of the gospel!

Wednesday: CHRISTMAS CONFERENCE! I love love when we get together with other missionaries!! President Marsh gave an amazing training and ok hes awesome!! He has this list of unique gifts that the gospel brings that he has given all us missionaries!! He has now made it available on this websit so everyone go check out giftsofthegospe.scottmarsh.com

He also wants all of us missionaries to have a summary of every chapter in the book of mormon memorized so pray my brain will be able to memorize! PRESIDENT MARSH IS AWESOME!!
*Also random fact whenever we have some sort of meeting we have to drive an average of 2.5 hrs because we are in the straight boonies HAHAHA but it usually means lots of sleepovers so that can be fun!!

Thursday: We knocked tons and got to meet with a less active who made us dinner!! We shared a message with her and her husband who isnt a member & hopefully we can start teaching him!! We want lessoms wooo

Friday: we had exchanges!! Sister Venema & I went down to Cumming with Sister Stevens and it was sooo good! We were tracing and felt like we werent sure where to go so we prayed right in the middle of the street & we all felt so strongly to go the same way it was really cool to see the spirit put that confirmation in all of our hearts!
On exchanges i really learned how urgent this work really is! There is absolutely no time to waste and we need to include God and rely on the spirit in everything we do! Yes woooo

Saturday: we ended exchanges & then got to meet with a referral! The timing was perfect! Right when we showed up he was just getting home! We were able to talk with him and he told us he was actually planning on going to the Murphy branch tomorrow!! WOOO!! We did weekly planning at the cutest coffee shop that reminds me of Gilmore Girls so thay was fun!!

Sunday: Christmas Sunday woooo!! Ok our christmas program at our branch was a solid 20 minutes no one knew what to do so our branch president just got up and talked but whatever hahaha thats what happens when you're in a branch of 20 people!! Awe everyone is so cute here though! Im literally in a Hallmark Christmas movie awe!!

We taught a family tonight and the dad said "this sounds like my kind if church" im so excited for them!! They have been looking for a church but havent found one that feels right! Pray for them!!

I hope y'all have a Merry Christmas!! Dont forget the true meaning & if you do email me and ill remind ya lol or watch the Christ Child video because its SO good!! Ok Love You All & Be Happy!!
