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!
