The reason for this title...hmmm....we did a lot of county line crossin'. While doing this we also saw a lot of dirty truck. These truck were pretty dirty because it is huntin' season. Huntin season brings dear heads. They were gross lookin. NASTY!!! okay...we shall now proceed.
MONDAY: We got to go into Katy to go shopping for Christmas! Sister Turner took us. It was so great to get to know her more. She is an amazing lady. DAD: She knows where siguene is!!! (i'm not sure that is how it is spelled...but that's my guess)
TUESDAY: We went to Katy that day and had specialized training with President Pingree. He is such an amazing person! The more I get to know him, the more I come to love my mission president. It's so sad that he will be leaving us in July. BUT change brings blessings, so I will appreciate him while he is here. After training, we went to Brookshire to visit the O'Hara family. I GOT TO CUT HAIR!! :) I will be cutting a few more family's hair in the next couple of weeks. I love it so much! After the O'Hara's we went to the Dhener family home in Pattison. She is trying to check herself into a re-hab clinic so she can do a detox. Erika and her family have come to church the past 2 weeks. She wants to change her life!! It's amazing!! We also went to the Relief Society activity up in Bellville. It was great to get to know more of the sisters here.
WEDNESDAY: We went to Columbus and Eagle Lake this day. It was great to be able to share the 13 articles of faith to one of the recent convert's (age 10) friend. I really got to learn and explain things simply. it was a miracle in and of itself. it made me think and look deeply.
THURSDAY: We planned out this week!! planing is pretty crazy when you have like 10 towns you want to go to and only 7 days in a week AND 450 miles a week. so it takes skill to get them all layed out right and proper. after that we went to Columbus with what time we had and had dinner at the Pora and Downy home. Patrick Downy, the Pora's son-in-law, is a recent convert. He decided to teach us instead. He taught us about Samson. It was so unique to see his simple testimony grow. The trade off was that we made dinner for him!! We made Spicy Mustard Chicken with rice...lemme say that I got a little bit home sick.
FRIDAY: I learned how to do rose clippings!! Sister Turner taught us! She knows a lot. We then taught it to another sister in our ward who is a less active. It was a joy to do that! We also visited an older lady. She gave me a had and scarf!! It is so cute!! it WILL keep me warm. :) Later on we went to Sister Lambros' house. She is a strugling sister who has 2 kids living at home. The we invited the youngest, Zanner (short for Alexander), to come to ward volley ball and he came!! it was so great! i hope we are making steps to help him, a 13 year old, come back to church.
SATURDAY: We went to Bellville this day. We taught Michele!! She has such a strong testimony and she doesn't even know it! it's been amazing to see her grow and realize what she already knows. That night was the combined spanish/english branch christmas party. it was great to be able to see all the members all happy together!
SUNDAY: OH BOY!! talk about crazy! we had to leave the house at 8 to be to the church for PEC Meeting. We also spoke in church! It was such a great experience. I felt like I had alot of power given to me through the Lord. It was so amazing!! We taught the 9-10 year old Sunday school class. That was such a sweet experience! We taught the Christmas story. After church, we taught Johnny. He has a testimony that Thomas S Monson is a prophet!! THIS IS A BIG DEAL!! He is ready to meet with President Pingree next week for his baptismal interview. Other than that, he is set and ready to be baptized!! Later that night we went into Katy to the Catholic/LDS Concert. I realized how much I really miss people. I MISS BEING AROUND PEOPLE!!! The concert was amazing though!! It was so beautiful and unique how 2 congregations got together to celebrate thier Lord. Needless to say, we didn't get home untill late though.
Thanks to all for your love and support!! Thanks Emmary, Anna, & Prices for the cards!! Thanks Peterson's for your card too!! I really appreciate you all!! Turn outside of yourself this season. you will see amazing things begin to unfold. God IS a God of Miracles.
Merry Christmas!
