How is Everyone doing? Are we excited for Christmas? Well, this week has been really slow. I don't know when it will all end. But hopefully soon...
So, like I said, this week didn't have a lot happen, but there were several exciting things. so, let us get right into it...
First of all, we had our first lesson with Jon. He is a referral that we got from the Helena Elders, and he has some potential, so we are excited to continue to work with him. We had a good lesson with him on Monday night, but he wasn't able to get to church, or make it to the chapel tour we had set up :(
So the souvenir, So I can't remember whether or not I talked about this last time, But last week when Elder Lunt and I were working with Br. Contway, he gave us both a 20 lb block of Bronze (wrth about $60). Well, I had decided to turn mine into a souvenir, instead of exchanging it for money. I'll add a picture of the finished product.
John, our other investigator is doing well, preparing himself for the 15th. We have started to plan out what he wants for the service, and got the interview set up. Other than that it has been just reviewing the lessons, to make sure he feels ready.
The rest of the week seemed to just drag on and on. No matter what we did, there was always something that would fall through. It was really frustrating.
Friday included the trainer call, and some service with the food bank. That was pretty good. Nothing new to report here. Sadly Friday was probably the most productive day of the weekend. UGH!! I hate these weeks.
Saturday, the pattern repeated, even though it was the "Light the world" kick off. We had stuff lined up to serve, but then it all fell through because the weather turned bad, and everyone canceled. We tried and tried, but nothing worked.
Sunday was a nice highlight. We had the Christmas devotional on Sunday for those of you who weren't able to view it. It was really good, and lightened the mood of the week. Afterwards, we helped move a new family into the ward. That was a lot of fun.
Well, that is about it. Sorry for the short email. We are hopeful to see better. For a spirtual thought this month, it seems easy. I don't have them downloaded yet, but I encourage everyone to watch the "Light the world" week 1 video, and think about how this week we can all follow the example of Christ and Light the world in this Christmas season.
I am excited to hear how things are going, but until then, I'll see you later.
Love,
Elder Sherwood
