Friends
and family,
Another
good week. Some other missionaries in our ward had a baptism and we had an
investigator named Stephanie and her kids attend that! It was awesome! She's
read over half the Book of Mormon within the last 2 weeks, holy cow! Talk about
dedication!!
We
are having a hard time getting lots of our appointments to actually happen.
People here are willing to set them but either aren't home when we show up or
say "now's not a good time." If anyone has ideas of how to solve that
problem, that would be great!
Thanks
and special shout out to my band director, math teacher, Amanda, my
grandparents, and my mom (and anyone I forgot) for telling me their favorite
Christmas songs! Funniest one I got was Mr Bayless's choice, Los Peces En El
Rio. I haven't heard that song in a very long time! Lots of "Oh Holy
Night" responses too! Mine is Angels We Have Heard on High, but Hark the
Harold Angels Sing is a close second... however, like my dad's mom, in the last
few years I've really liked the 4th verse of "I Heard the Bells on
Christmas Day." So that's that.
New
challenge: For this week, find a way you're prideful and STOP IT! If you're too
competitive (now I support good competition that motivates us to improve, but I
mean the "I'm superior to you" competitiveness), be willing to be a
cheerful loser if/when you lose. If you're too rude to a spouse, child, parent,
or friend, be extra nice this week, even if they deserve it. Suck up your pride
and be generous. You'll be a true winner that way.
Have
a great week!
