Hey hey hey fam:)
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving in AZ. You guys look good:) This Thanksgiving we went over to Sister Weavers! She is a return missionary who's husband isn't a member-but you'd think he was. They are so fun and made the best stuffing I have ever had haha. They were so awesome. They had 2 foreign exchange students over from the Netherlands and Italy- shout out to my homie Elder Liu! Haha.
This week was really awesome:) Thanks to the Elders we picked up 2 new investigators! Their names are Joyce and Sally. Joyce is 74 and she is the funniest lady I have ever met in my entire life. I don't think i've ever laughed harder then when I'm around her. We brought Sue Eldridge with us to teach her. Sue is a ward missionary and a convert of 2 years. What I love most about the east coast is that so many people are converts and there are a lot of part-member families. I have had the chance to meet so many amazing people on my mission:) I would say that has been my favorite part.
There are seriously churches on every corner here. Sometimes I forget that Virginia is a southern state haha. There is a lot of civil war history in this area which is cool:) Most people have a Christian background and so talking about the restoration and priesthood authority is really important- but it can also be hard especially when people have been going to a church for a long time. i've learned that the most important thing to do is just be bold and loving:) I am grateful for truth which has the power to bless and change lives. it really is cool getting to share it:)
This week we have Christmas in the Shenandoah! The stake is having a musical fireside before the Christmas devotional. I love the Christmas spirit! I love handing out the Christmas pass-a-long cards as well:) Sister Olsen and I set up our Christmas tree today! Hahah there was a small one in the apartment. We are having so much fun. I can't believe this transfer is over in 2 weeks. I hope we both get to stay for Christmas.
I love you guys so much! The work is great and it continues to move forward as we focus more on our purpose:) I love the gospel and all of you!
