Transfer 5, Week 2: Building Blocks

Hey Everyone,
     How are you all doing? I could be better, but all is okay. There is always still fun and exciting times ahead. Well, let's jump right into it.
     So, I am getting a really late start on this email, so it will have to be a quick one. Anway This week has been ok. Not the greatest, but definitely busy, with interviews, and stake Conference, and a few other fun activities. 
     Tuesday is where we start the highlights. On Tuesday, we were kind of in a rut. Nothing good was happening, so we decided to stop by the church, to quickly brainstorm a couple ideas. On our approach, we spotted a good looking Christmas tree in the Church Dumpster. It was in great condition except for 1 spot where there is a paint spot on it. But put that one to the wall, and it looks great. It is prelit, and is awesome. We put it up, and now just need to get some really cheap tinsel and ornaments. 
     We have been working heavily with John over the last week. He has made the decision to come closer to Christ. We had great lessons with him throughout the week, and he had his baptismal interview with President Larsen on Sunday. We are so excited for this upcoming week, since his date is the 15th (this upcoming Saturday).
     We had the Sunriver Christmas Party this week. We met with a new family who moved into the ward, they aren't members, but we feel that there is some potential there. I can't wait to find out more there. 
     Friday was kind of exciting. We were given the opportunity to go to Great Falls and participate in the Christmas stroll. Basically they shut down central, and everyone gets to go to booths and have a good time. We didn't have a booth, but we got to walk around, handing out pass along cards to a lot of people.
     Saturday was interviews and stake Conference. To save on miles, because of the Christmas stroll, we stayed at the zone leader's place overnight. Our assigned time was at 11 am, but as usual, president was way behind. Neither of us got in until around 1:30pm, so we ended up staying for Stake Conference. We spent the whole day in Great Falls. 
     Sunday was good. We finished stake Conference, and then waited for president to arrive in Fairfield for John's interview. 
     That pretty much sums up my week. Not a whole lot else to talk about. This week is week 2 of "Light The World". I would encourage everyone to go and watch the week 2 video, and think about how you can focus on lighting your community this week. 
     Thanks everyone. I look forward to hearing from you again. 

Love,
Elder Sherwood
