Good Week

We made a Christmas Stocking for each companionship (13) in our Zone and passed them out at Zone Meeting. We included a Christmas experience from our past and bore our testimony at the end of the message. You should have heard the Ahhhhhhh and see the smiles on their faces when I walked in with the box of stockings.  They were all very kind and thanked us a ton.  It was fun to see them so happy. These young missionaries really work hard and hold amazing meetings. Their faith is evident and they build each other up all the time...both the Elders and Sisters.

We have a FHE type appointment set up for several families the next week and a half. We will be giving a Christmas message and have things for the young children to do. Some of the families are without dad...since he is deployed and some just want us to come because they are away from extended family for Christmas.  We have already been out this past week meeting new young couples in the area and offering help for anything they may need.  Some expressed interest in our next Resiliency class... starting after the New Year.

We are also volunteering at the Bishop's Storehouse once every other week.  They do it a bit differently here as no Bishop's Storehouse is near by. A truck arrives with previously ordered food for two Stakes. The volunteers set up the food on tables so it looks like a grocery store. The people who made their orders before hand come in and walk around with a cart like they are in a grocery store and get the things they ordered. Then we help them bag it etc. and they go home with what they needed. Just like clock work and everyone is happy.

Now we are off to the Ward Christmas Party. One tonight and one tomorrow night.
Merry Christmas to All.
