| Starting to become a regular feature of the Clinton newspaper |
I feel like I don't have much to say, which is a first for me! This
week was wonderful, but seemed a little out of sync. It snowed last
weekend and we were stuck inside, and then we had preparation-day, and then
Christmas Eve, and then Christmas. It took a little bit to get back into
the regular groove. If you couldn't tell I've become a creature of
habit after one and a half years of doing very much the same thing
everyday. It was a good rejuvenator though and I am ready to take on
January 2014.
Christmas was great. Thank you to everyone for the
wonderful gifts and cards. I am slowly lowering my expectations when I
open the mail box now... we were always so excited because there was
something there everyday in December! It was great to hear from family and friends. I
had the best time talking to my family on Christmas Day via Skype-- complete with Kwazi and
Finley... they had to make a cameo appearance. We had some awesome meals
with members on Christmas. I love being full proselyting because we really get
to know the members here. Clinton is the best! Christmas is the best
too. The one downside is that Sister Penman and I were going to town on
the Christmas treats, naively thinking that we would stop after
Christmas. That would have happened except for the fact that I got an
inordinate amount of trader joes goodies-- not complaining... at all.
Hopefully I don't come home from my mission with type two diabetes. But
hey, at least all the treats I'm eating are organic!
This is my life: We went to Windsor on Friday. We
saw two amish horse and buggies. There's a big amish community out
there. We contacted an unknown lady on the roster. Her family is
awesome, super friendly, they invite us in. During our introductions the
kids realize that the beagle is acting very strange. We do emergency
stick removal from the beagles mouth. I feel like my life is super
random out here... kind of like this email.
We went to the temple on Saturday. That was
amazing. I love the temple and the spirit there. It is truly the house
of the Lord.
Jessica is one of the
investigators that we have been working with. She's the cutest and has
the cutest little girl that just looks like a fairy. I love them. She is
really progressing. We had a hard time getting ahold of her the week
before Christmas, but we just started stopping by. Yesterday she showed
us this book she is making as a motivation to help her progress in the
gospel. It has a picture of the temple on the front and goals and plans
inside it. She is a girl after my own heart... got to love vision,
planning, and goal setting. I'm obsessed.
