Week 74

We started off the week by loosing an elder and gaining Elder Mackey. Elder Mackey's companion had to leave so we ended up being his new companions until President Schmitt found him a new companion. It was
really weird but fun at the same time. Elder Mackey is super sarcastic and loves messing with you. We all got along great.

In the midst of all of this we went over to Josh and Sara's. They had a life changing event happen to them that is very motivating to get them married. So we challenged them to pick a date in December and fast to know if it is right. They chose Christmas Eve. We are ecstatic!

On Saturday we had not one but 2 ward Christmas parties. Elder Jensen and Elder Mackey went to one and I went to the other. Both wards are amazing and I was sad I could not go to both. At the Twin Peaks Christmas party (the one I went to) they had a wonderful Nativity scene. It was so fun and to top things off we had some ward members sing. It was a blast!

At the end of the day on Saturday Elder Maughn joined us and we had to let go of Elder Mackey. Elder Maughn was my zone leader in Chula Vista. He is a great missionary and does not tolerate anything short of what needs to happen. I love him so much.

On Monday we had a super fun Family Home Evening. We went over to a member's home and had a sweet object lesson on how we influence everyone in our lives by what we do. We then gave them 3 minutes to write down the names of every nonmember that they could think of. Afterward, we showed the Christmas video and asked them to think of how they can serve those individuals. They all ended up having 2 people each that we are going to help. It was a great spiritual experience.
