Crazy Dream, Mission Extension...and CHRISTMAS !!

This was weird. So I was having minor doubts, okay not doubts, just a bad day, so I pleaded with the Lord for an answer if this church was true, and well, he sure answered me, because the next morning I only read talks about the power of the Book of Mormon, then that night I had a dream. In that dream were lots of people, but the only two I remember are you and...Sister Armsworthy. I was up on some stand and I was bearing my testimony to everyone and I could not even speak because I was crying so much and through my tears, I quietly uttered, "I know this church is true" and I just remember waking up with peace and joy come over my body !! Then, I got 4 packages with some amazing ties and some amazing gifts ! I was talking to the AP, Elder Young about Elder Dial, then I got a tie from him. How cool!!! ALSO PICTURES!!!! YAY!!!! 
I want to say a special thank you to Mom, Dad, Momma, Papa and all the men who put ties in here. Thank you!!!
So..that is the big updates but it was a good, crazy week!!!

Monday was cool. We had a hike that was very cold, like 50 degrees with wind, man was it cold! We also had a really nice dinner and got a little present from Sister Black so that was pretty great. That's really all for Monday. 

Tuesday was, well that crazy dream...yep that is all. 

Wednesday we had an actual busy day. We had a nice visit with Mark in the morning & a great lesson with Renea (she is new and very solid). We also had a nice visit with Laura. She is a great lady, she is 47 and can no longer walk and is in some home. It is rather sad, so we co by with a handful of joy...or try haha. We also had a great lesson with Nancy. She is newer as well and she really loved the lesson. She is searching. 

Festival of Lights 

Thursday was...okay AMAZING. So we had our Christmas program for the mission and we got a new scripture theme to work on and it is patience, the thing I struggle with the most. That was very weird to have that be the new theme. WE also talked about how we can be better missionaries and that was pretty cool. We had a great lunch, and man, they can cool. Like chicken with stuffing and veggies...so good. We had a mission talent show as well, and that was so funny and just so great. The last part of the day, President and Sister Felix talked about angels and how they are all around us and that was out of the park, great !!! It was cool, but we got a new challenge...so we have to read the WHOLE Book of Mormon by MARCH!!! But wait...we have to mark every time it talks about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So anytime it mentions, faith, repentance, baptism, getting the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end...I am on 1 Nephi 12 so far. It was a great day !!!! 

Festival of Lights 

Friday I got my packages, so that was great!!! I opened the ones I was supposed to hahah. It was great. It will be the best Christmas and hey, if when we Skype, you're at Mommas, that would be crazy...just saying...
We did a lot of service helping someone move. That makes like 40 moves on my mission now. Probably 25, but lots. We also went and had a nice visit with Penny and HEY..GUESS WHAT??? I FINISHED THE NEW TESTAMENT ! It was great. Revelations was a tad hard, but oh so great!!

Saturday I was on an exchange so we stayed pretty busy and tonight I saw the parade of lights, which is a bunch of boats lit up, driving past the harbor. It was great. And hey, we actually got rain here, it is a miracle.

Sunday was pretty good. So Elder Bronson and I sang in the ward music sacrament meeting, so that was cool. We had a great lesson the second hour on the 12 tribes of Israel and that was really cool. I actually learned a lot from it. 
Sunday night we went to Lauren's for her birthday and that was fun. 
It has been a really great week. 

Mom, Dad, Shel, Scott, Mama, Papa, Niss, Star, Brea, Kris, Austin, Trish, Cin I Love you all!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Have a great week, enjoy Christmas Eve for me and party hard in my honor. 
Muah
We'll see y'all in a year. 

PS - Mom, my mission will be extended for one week, so I'll be home the next week in January 2017, so the 15th of March. We'll be having a 7 week transfer because the 2 week to 3 week change for the MTC time will tack on a week. 
Muah
Love you, 
Bye :)
