Dia ahaona isika jaby e?!
How is everyone doing? Ya'll getting prepared for
Christmas? It's crazy to think that Christmas is almost upon us again. One year
ago I spent my first Christmas on the mission in Tamatave and now I'll be
having my final one here in Mahajanga. I'm so pumped! Christmas is such an
amazing time of the year even if the people around you don't celebrate it the
way it's supposed to be celebrated. It's a time that we can focus on Christ and
his birth. In the grand scheme of things, if you really think about, everything
we do is centered around Christ and his gospel. It's something truly amazing
and the Christmas season helps us remember him in our individual lives.
We had a great work week this week! Elder Wootan and I
are still trying to train all of the auxiliary leaders in the Branch and we
almost caught them all this week. We've started to notice some small changes in
the Branch but nothing big yet. But hey, by small and simple things are great
things to come to pass. I'm sure in the future we'll start to see some big
changes in this branch, especially from the leaders.
We did so much contacting this last week and found a
whole bunch of new people to teach. Ever since the baptisms a couple of weeks
ago we have been struggling to find some progressing investigators....As a
result of that, a lot of people have been dropped from our program and we are
starting to look for some new people teach. We found a lot this last week and
we have times set up with all of them this week. I guess we'll find out this
week if they're all ready for the gospel in their lives.
One cool thing that happened this week was Victor
received a calling yesterday during sacrament meeting. He is now the second
counselor in the Young Men's Presidency. I'm so happy for Victor and he's going
to do great in his new calling. During our time with him this week he told us
that he wants to start learning all his duties as an Aaronic Priesthood holder
so he can better understand what he needs to do to help this branch. Victor
just gets it, plain and simple, and we can't wait to see what other leadership
positions he'll hold in the future.
Well, that's about all I got today. We did go to this
place today called Cirque Rouge which looks exactly like Southern Utah with red
rocks and everything, so I guess that's pretty cool and I'll send home a whole
bunch of Pics. Anyways, I love you all so much and I can't wait to Skype next
week!
