Hi Everyone!
Well this week has gone by well. At times it seems fast but other times it
is so slow.
Mom I got the Liahona. Thanks so much. And for the letter!
So we got Hno Marion and his sons to attend the baptism this Saturday which
was pretty awesome. They came to church (except for the mom because her daughter
just gave birth and she was taking care of her). Then we had a lesson with them
that night. And the big news is....
They decided to get married! They want us to find out all the requirements
so that they can take the step. They are now shooting for the end of December!
We will see what happens. Just because of them I don´t want to leave but we will
see how it all works out in the end. They decided that if it was just civil
marriage, then they could do it. And we are hoping we can do the baptism with
them right after that! I pray we can get it with them, no matter if I am in the
area or not. They are a great family!
Other than that we are working to find people who are truly prepared and
interested. We found a cool guy named Nicholas who read all the pamphlet we gave
him. Now he just needs to have an open heart and pray about it.
I have been enjoying the conference talks a lot. I read the one by M.
Russell Ballard about the prophets and the organization and I learned a lot. I
did that today as my comp got a haircut. I got one as well!
The Christmas Spirit is starting for me and here in the DR (though there
isn´t any snow...) The church has a program we are using called El es la Dádiva
or He is the Gift. They are using it world wide to invite people to come to
Christ. The video is awesome. You should all watch it and share it with friends
and family and try to invite new people as well. It is at christmas.mormon.org and only like 3 minutes. We are trying to get
all the branch involved to help us out!
We had a meeting in the capital about the He is the Gift program. Then on
Thursday my comp had to get a blood test cause he has been sick. We stayed home
for one day sadly. I hate staying in the house. Makes you homesick and feel
lazy.
Church was good. I got another surprise talk and a surprise lesson. We are
some of the few Priesthood holders in the branch so we have a lot of
responsibility.
The trip sounds good! I am glad the rental care was a better choice. Lucky
you got to see Connor. Can´t wait to meet that kid!
For Thanksgiving I made no bake cookies. They were delicious. I also made
some more today because the district came over. They were good and I am super
full now. No turkey here as it is very expensive. Sad day. I had some mashed
potatoes at the zone thing and some pumpkin cake though. The best I could do
here in the DR
Utah had some close games for sure. Awesome we are 25, even without a good
offense. I hope we make a good and winnable bowl game.
Christmas season is here. Sounds like you are all prepared!
Oh, go Eagles. That is awesome!
Well I think that is all for now. I love you all! I am praying for you all!
Be safe and smile big!
Love,
Elder Chez Green
