Happy New Year!

Hey, hope you all had a great Christmas. It was a good time for us. We got to spend a lot of time with some cool members and had a very homey Christmas. Now New Years is coming up and that's going to be fun too. We are getting together as a whole mission on New Years Eve to party and to celebrate Sister Savage's birthday which is on New Years day.

Have a wonderful New Year in Christ!

Merry Christmas!!

Hey all, This week has been pretty good. We had our ward Christmas Party and Kim came to that and really enjoyed it. Dawn also came and got some food, but she left because her child is sick, and now she's sick.

We got a new investigator, Josefina. She is a really awesome lady from South Sudan, and all her siblings and parents live in Utah and are members now so she wants to learn more. We'll be meeting with her whole family this friday, so that should be awesome. 

We had our Christmas Zone conference, and that was pretty awesome and fun.

And then last night all the district leaders had a training/sleepover at the mission home and that was really good and fun. I so enjoyed being able to talk with Elder Melchin, because he's a district leader too. We had a late night. On Sunday we also had a member of the Fort Collins Temple Presidency and his wife come and speak to us in Sacrament and in the third hour. He is so amazingly knowledgeable and awesome. That was a good experience.

Watch these videos by Elder Bednar. They are amazing.

Louisville Again!

So transfers happened last Thursday and both Elder Leonard and myself stayed in Louisville. We did however have to move out of our members' home (the Rice's) and into the Bishop's (Loveday's). Slight bummer because I love the Rice's, but I get to move into the Lovedays, whom I stayed with last time I was in Louisville. 

Also, another new thing is that I was asked to be a district leader. That's a new adventure right there.

We weren't able to meet with a lot of our investigators this week because they are all sick or out of town or whathaveyou. But this week should be really good.

Last night was the stake Christmas Fireside. Literally all it was was about 15 musical numbers. And it was the best. I've known this for a while, but the Boulder Stake is jam packed with incredible musical talent (70% of which is found in the Louisville ward). And it was all on display last night. It was well worth the price of admission (which was none, but still).

Happy December!

Time has flown really fast. This week were able to meet with Kim, and Rez and Leila. Kim lesson went great when we talked about the Plan of Salvation. She had a bunch of really good questions. Rez and Leila's lesson wasn't too great. They are Muslim and they want proof from the old testament that Jesus is THE Son of God and took our sins upon him. They are a little more difficult. Personally I think that we won't be able to convince them if they have mindset. They've just got to pray and read the Book of Mormon. We got another investigator that we taught yesterday, Dawn. She is really awesome and loves what we teach her. We'll be working with her a lot. 

So this week is transfers but we won't know what is going on until Wednesday because the whole system has changed because the MTC changed and the there will be a lot fewer missionaries moving around now. So this time next week I might be somewhere else. 

Watch the Christmas Devotional. It's really good.

Happy December! Have a good week!
