Christmas Eve!

Sister Partridge skyped with her family on Christmas Eve then went to their dinner appointment at the Davis' home.

On Christmas morning, the sisters and elders went to the Foster's home to open presents and stockings.  This was posted on Facebook on Klisse Foster's page.  It was fun to see everyone so happy.

Yay!! I Love Jesus!

"Therefore Cheer Up your hearts, and remember that ye are Free to Act for yourselves - to Choose the way everlasting death or the way of Eternal Life." 2 Nephi 10:23 

Hey Everyone, 

I thought this email should start with the scripture of the week, the choices we choose will affect now and the eternities! It can bring great joy or pain.  But it's our Choice! lol But my favorite part of all of this is the beginning. Cheer Up your hearts! 

​Everyone needs some Cheer! This week was full of Cheer!  While walking to the library we met this lady named Kelly​, Kelly is one of the spunkiest people I have ever met! We are meeting with her after Christmas to talk about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She is the sweetest lady ever!

Walter is getting Baptized this weekend!!!! There is still so much to do, but he is soooo ready for this! After Baptism the next step is the temple! Yay! Non of this would be possible without Jesus Christ! His life shows us exactly what we need to do to live Joyful lives everyday. Because He lives​,​ we have nothing to fear! Because He lives​,​ we will live again with our families! Because He lives​, we have sooooo much to be grateful for! 

What do you believe about Jesus Christ? and How will you be different this week because of it?  

I believe He is the Son of God. Perfect and pure. The way I will hopefully be one day, with all of you too! I testify that Jesus Christ lives, He was and is perfect and I am have so much to give to Him for his Example.  

Have a Merry Christmas Everyone and Keep reading yo scriptures!

​I love all of you thi​iiiiiisss MUCH!!! Have a great Week!

​This is what most Comp Inventories look like...

"It's a Christmas Miracle!"

We had Elder Anderson come visit our mission and it was great but what was even better was our investigators came to the Christmas Party!!

Elder Anderson is a sweet man. I came to the realization this week

that the Apostles of the Lord are just like you and me, they just

listen to the spirit when it calls and they have authority to do other

things. The thing that struck me the most was how personal he was with everyone. He basically said be yourself and get to know others and Care for others and you'll baptize all of Terre Haute! Jk, he basically said we need to love one another and act on our faith. I like it! Oh Ya, and he said to find 5-10 scriptures in the New testament and Book of Mormon that I, personally, Believe and memorize them and bare simple testimony of that one attribute of Christ.

Now for an update on the Week:

The Christmas party was the BEST!!!

- Beverly came and had So. Much. Fun! This is saying something because she has struggled with social anxiety for awhile, but she was so excited she got dressed and ready for church on Sunday and her sister, Carol, had taken the car! We were bummed that she didn't make it to church but she'll be coming next week!

- Kim has never met anyone in the ward and she finally met Sister

Christie at dinner on Thursday. They were perfect for each other! Kim also came to the party and Loved it, she got the flu Sunday morning and couldn't come, but she, too tried!

        I love Bev and Kim soooooooo much! Its a HUGE blessing that they came and now have friends! Its a HUGE blessing, I have so much to thank the lord for!

-Last of all, Walter. He has been running into a lot of anti lately so

we had a great lesson with Him, Eve (girlfriend), Mom (sister

Woolsten), and dad (Bro Woolsten). We spent the whole hour getting all surprises out of the way. Yep, it all started with Kolob and just got better from there! It was really a great lesson and Walter is so prepared for this, for living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He's on date for Dec 23rd!

I know that My Redeemer lives and He can work miracles! 1 Nephi 9:6 says "For the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning, therefore he prepared a way to accomplish all his works among the children of men; for behold he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his words. And thus it it. Amen"

I love you all! Have a Merry Christmas and #LightTheWorld

p.s. Litten is my new favorite pokemon! Go Litten! You cough those flaming hair balls!

This is Jack the Cat. Beverly's pride and joy!

Thank you Makhenna for teaching me how to chalk art! Yo the best!

Sister Chase got History of the Church volumes 1-3 ... yep, I just
lost a companion... haha 

This little light of mine, I'm gunna Light the World, Light the World, Light the World

First off OMGoodness! #LightTheWorld is taking off!

Sister Chase and I started early and helped Sis Tidd clean an

apartment. I don't know whats worse roaches or there poop! ....No no

definitely the roaches! We also got to rack leaves with our feet! Yay!

Highlights of the week:

-Wednesday we tried hanging #lighttheworld posters and it didn't go so

well so we walked around and waved at people.

- We met with a new investigator named Dottie! I love Dottie!!!! She

has just had a lot of scares in her life. She thought she had cancer,

her step in parents for her son died last month, and her son is moving

away to college. Dottie wants to go to church but wants to pick the

best one. Dottie is a member referral from Sis Jenkins in Virginia!

Yay members!!! She is so excited to read Alma 32!

- Walter is doing great! We moved his date to the 23rd of Dec. and he

is soooooo excited about getting baptized! This wouldn't have happened

with out members help and the Lords hand!

- We got to help in the Parade! I made alot a really loud

commitments...I was crowed control, there is no better way to have

power go to your head then give some on a red vest and a flashing

night-night stick! It was great and I think we found a couple of

potentials for the college sisters!

This week was a roller coaster of emotion but Sister Chase is so

amazing, she pulled us though a lot of it and it worked out. The Lord

knows our needs and will always come to our call! The blessing of the

knowledge of the Book of Mormon is evidence of that in and of its

self! My new favorite video is one the church made about the good

Samaritan. We are all children of God, serve him today by serving His

children.
