| Ward float in the Middlesboro parade |
Hello familia!!
I had a great last couple of days with Sister Behunin. Kinda crazy she's gone now, I'll miss her. She suprised me the last 24 hours by leaving little notes around the house telling me what she liked about me then she gave me a long hug and hung on at transfers. So she's in Rockwood TN now I think she'll do fine.
Well my nuevacita is Hermana Loper! From Coos Bay Oregon - she is a very cute ginger, she likes dancing, and just got out of the CCM in Mexico which she really loved. So that's awesome. Our first week together has been great. I was a little nervous how she'd feel about the messy and smoke-filled investigators houses, but she's a champ! She sees the vision for the work and has a strong desire to work hard and see success, and she's fun too. So we're having fun together.
We taught a lesson to Paige Cloud, a woman who's been investigating for a while now, and helped her with what seems to be many trials in her life right now. She promised to come to church on Sunday and we even went to her house to remind her before but didn't show, so we just keep praying for her! We also taught Chris who is progressing really well. He called and told us that he really feels the Book of Mormon is true. So we're going to commit him for baptism this week hopefully and make sure he's solid.
We've met some great new investigators this week as well. He is the Gift is our new big push and I think it's been really successful, so I'm excited about it!
On Saturday we went to volunteer for the Middlesboro Parade. The guy in charge, Isaac, loves us missionaries and is so grateful for our help. It was really fun, our ward did a float that was so darling - complete with a primary nativity scene, and a little couple standing in front of the temple :). It was rainy and cold and dark all morning, and the poor kids were shivering in their cute little costumes, however, right when the float arrived to the presentation spot, the sun broke through the clouds for a short amount of time. The children stood and sung "He sent His Son". It was beautiful and the Spirit was very strong in the streets of Middlesboro!
That night, the head of the volunteers insisted that we assist the community sing-along of the Messiah. I really loved it because I love that type of thing, my companion was a little less in love with that idea, but anyway, after we heard a family speaking in spanish. We went up to them and they were so happy to hear us speak Spanish! We talked for a bit and then they invited us right over to their house. Oh and we also met a cute little lady that works at the Mexican restaurant here that we're teaching now! So the Lord is placing little miracles in our path!
Isn't hermana Loper cute!? Elsa and Ana :) Oh by the way I get to see Frozen in a week! We're watching it at our Christmas zone conference!! Can't wait!!
Last night the Christmas devotional was very beautiful and brought the spirit, and then we're excited to hear tomorrow from Elder Renlund of the Seventy. (Not as excited to wake up at zero-dark-thirty to drive there!)
OK WELL, LOVE YOU!
Hermana Collier
