Yesterday church was cancelled because of the snow so we weren't really even sure what we were supposed to do! haha... there was a baptism still happening so we thought we should probably still go to that and support this family in the ward! So we did our regular morning studies and then we grabbed our shovels and headed out the door! We shoveled one driveway and then after that we decided we should probably start our trek to the church! It's only about two miles from our apartment and we figured we'd just shovel our way there! :) haha... so we got like a fourth of the way there and then Sister Jones called us and asked if we were coming to the baptism and if we needed a ride! So we said we were on our way! :) haha we had heard that if we weren't allowed to drive then we weren't allowed to get rides from members either... (don't worry we've cleared it up now so we will no longer walk to church in a blizzard... :) so she came and picked us up and we went to the baptism! Good thing we made it because none of the four pianists were there so they needed someone to play! So I was glad I could help with that! :)
Our investigator's baptismal dates are coming up...but we need our investigators to come to church though so they can still happen!!!! kinda hard though when church gets canceled... we'll get them there next week though!! After that the Rainey's took us to their house and we had lunch and coordination meeting! Then we went home and did some shoveling around our neighborhood and that was about it! It was a really weird sunday!! We weren't able to even see most of our investigators this week because we usually see them on Sunday when we have the car...but we couldn't to get out to Lisbon where they all live :/
We did see Michael though! On Saturday we went and saw Sandy and Brother Rainey came with us! We weren't sure if we would be able to meet with Michael because earlier in the week Sandy called us and said he had some concerns with some of the things we believe and he didn't want to meet with us again... But we went and talked to Sandy and then we saw him getting his mail and invited him to come in so he did! And we addressed his concerns and hopefully it cleared things up a little bit! He has some things he said he would pray about and he told us he would still come to church! :) So that was really good! We weren't able to see Meredith because she had so much going on with finals and lots of homework.. but we are going to meet with her tomorrow morning before she heads home for the break! She has lots of questions again so it will be really good!
On Friday we had zone meeting and interviews all day! It was really good! Our zone has three districts in it and we are having a little competition for the 12 days of Christmas! We have different things we are supposed to do everyday and if we do it we get a point for our district... like Friday we had to make one baked good and give it to a member! So we made cookies and gave them to members! the next day we gave out 2 bibles! We were pretty busy all day Saturday and we didn't know if we were gonna get it done... so at 8:00 we went out to Maine street and we found two people and talked to them and gave them the bibles and a Book of Mormon and we got a return appointment!
Yesterday was give out 3 Christmas dvds so we gave one to the Rainey's neighbor and then took cookies and the dvd to two of our neighbors! It was super great! Today is kinda tricky we have to share 4 messages from Luke 2! We're gonna have to make our way to Maine street so we can spread the Christmas joy to everyone! :) haha so that's been fun! our district is pretty competitive so we're planning to win this...! :)
After interviews we had our ward Christmas party! So that was a lot of fun! We had a nice turkey dinner and there were lots of non members that came! So we talked to lots of people! oh and one of the little boys that we were sitting by told us a good joke so I'll tell you.. What do you call an alligator wearing a vest?? ........... an investigator!!! :D haha! good one huh? haha :) We invited Pat and Ken to the party but they weren't able to come...but they did let us come in and talk to them for a little while the other night and we answered some of their questions about the sacrament and other things about church! It was great! So we've had some really good things happening even though it was kind of a slow week! More good things and miracles to come!!! Hope you all have a great week! Stay warm!!! :) Love you!!!
