Week 71: Great Week

Hey Everyone, 

We had a great week. Lots of cool stuff going on! We had work visits, meetings and a lot of proselyting. It's gettin pretty toasty down here and I'm pretty content about that. The ward has been getting a lot more excited to help us so we are stoked about that! Now we have members coming with us to lessons every day! And they are taking investigators and referrals to church! YEEET! 

We are a little unsatisfied lately with our investigators that aren't coming to church, that's been our focus over the past couple weeks buts it's barely improving. Everyone says they'll come but basically nobody does!! BUTTT....we did have a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE yesterday. We were waiting at the doors before sac meeting, and a girl walked in that we hadn't seen before, we talked to her and found out that she came to church for 3 years when she was a teenager but her parents didn't let her get baptized cuz their fam is more Catholic than the Pope. But she came back for the first time after 4 years and we are gonna work with her hardcore so that she can get baptized on the 30th!!!! 

Also, changes are today!!! They AP´s will let us know tonight...I feel like I got a 50/50 chance of staying. It's got its pros and cons. I would enjoy a new companion though! This guy is finishing his mission in a month and he's gettin lazy and selfish. 

We'll see though!

Have a great week and everybody watch the #lighttheworld vid if you haven't already, and follow the daily challenges!!!

Week 70: Just Pics

Jarett didn't send a group letter this week, but here are some great pics:

Week 69: Ups and Downs

This was probably the fastest week of the whole mish so far! It's cuz we were so busy, heres the scoop:

Monday—Killer p-day filled with ping pong and foosball.

Tuesday—Special meeting with president about our goals for December and how to reach them.

Wednesday—Temple trip!! It was awesome, we got to do the first session in the morning, then did baptisms for the dead with the ward...they did over 200 baptisms and my comp and I were the witnesses for all of them. It was awesome!

Thursday—Interviews with president—we have the biggest zone in the whole mission so it basically took the whole day. :/

Friday—A big service project to start Light the World! We cleaned the sidewalk of the main highway from one end of our zone to the other! 

Saturday–District meeting, work visits, and trying to invite everyone and their dog to church on Sunday!!!

Sunday—Our efforts were in vain because only 2 investigators showed up...and they weren't even the investigators that we have with baptismal dates. :/ We were a little bummed out...But we HATE losing to the Adversary so this week we are gonna work triple hard!!

Love you guys!!! Have a great week and everyone do service for someone and LIGHT THE WORLD!!
