12/18.2017

Hey yall this week was packed full of fun stuff!!! We are doing well the with the work! This area is always been pumping since I got here. It is kinda like. Flame that can just never be doused! We had tons of festivities and meetings this week tambien! Just a quick update on the work..: 

Angela: She is still coming to church and doing really well. Her baptismal date is for this coming weekend but we aren�ft sure she is quite ready. She said she has a ton of questions for us and the next time we meet with her we will have the opportunity to see when she would like to be baptized. She said that she really wants to go to the Washington DC Temple before she makes her commitment! 

Brandon and Elizebeth: these two are absolutely solid! Brandon was being taught by the other elders in our ward but since we took over the entire ward we have started teaching him! He is so solid. He absolutely loves the missionaries and really wants to improve his life. Elizabeth is his girlfriend and he introduced her to us and they both came to church this week! We set Brandon on baptismal date for January 13! 

We have a lot more investigators that are new in which we are meeting with this week! It should be a very momentous week for us:)....

The college students of ETSU are on the way out this semester so things might die down here in JC. Hopefully the energy stays. 

We had MLC this week! It was fun to see some good friends and to receive some wisdom from the leaders of the mission. We talked a lot about visions and setting goals and plans for ourselves and for everyone! I am coming up on my 6 month mark really soon....So I am diligently trying to think about where I want to be and where I want to see myself! 

CHRISTMAS PARTY! We did a skit this week and we lip synced The Chipmunk Song (Me, Sisters See & Hall, Elder Prueitt). It was absolutely legendary. Video has been taken but screen shots will suffice. We had 3 zones roll up! So awesome. My and dad I love y�fall. Definitely saw that Nacho Libre vid tho! 

We had 5 investigators roll up church! Awesomeness. I recently finished Book of Mormon! So stoked. I am going to finish Jesus the Christ this transfer. Hopefully. Just a lot I want to do this transfer. 

We had 2 really significant miracles happen this week with the gift of healing: 

#1: Brother Parker from the ward had a friend who had recently suffered from a stroke. He took us to the hospital to visit him and when we got there he was in brutal condition. He had so many wires and tubes coming in and out of him and he was out in a coma with stitches in his head. He was like a vegetable. Brother Parker asked us to give him a blessing but his head was so messed up that I couldn�ft even put my hands on his head so I just prayed over him...we left and a couple weeks later (this week) he got news that he is basically completely recovered! Doctors were astounded! I�fm so grateful for the priesthood!! God is good. We will go meet Charlie (the guy) this week! 

#2: the day after we set Brandon on baptismal date he went to the ER with an injured disk in his back and nerve damage in his hip! He asked us that night to come over and give him a Blessings he literally couldn�ft get out of bed nor move and the night before he had seemed completely normal! After the blessing we left and he said that the swelling and pain he was experiencing instantly went away and he was able to come to church! 

This week was insane! Lovin life and just trying my best:) merry Christmas family and friends! Can�ft wait to talk with the fam!!
