It's been rainy the past couple days and so beautiful. Has there been a lot of snow for y'all? Sister Hurst said she saw a ton right before she left the MTC last week and was so happy for one last glimpse at it!
This week has been great! So happy it's December!! Serving every day and sharing the #LightTheWorld video has been so amazing. It was sad to say goodbye to Sister Neff. Someone took our pictures last week and there're pretty fun. I'll send a few.
Sister Hurst is my new companion. She is from American Fork and graduated just this past summer. She is so sweet and kind and so ready to serve. I love her already!
In nightly planning on Friday we had some space open up for finding before our ward Christmas party. I asked Sister Hurst to look in the area book map and pray about where we should try to find for those two hours. She prayed and found two streets and plugged them in. As we pulled up to one street the next day we said a prayer asking for Heavenly Father to help us find those that were prepared for the gospel. The first door we knocked on let us in and invited us back. We continued knocking with a lot of rejection. Two big gruffy looking guys literally ran inside their houses when they saw us coming haha. Then we saw a man walking out to his truck. As we began talking with him his son came out and began talking with us as well. He remembered missionaries like us had stopped by a few years before. His mom spoke Romanian and couldn't understand much of what they said. He said that two weeks later they returned and could speak Romanian to his mom! Haha wow! The elders made quite the impression on this kid! We shared the Christmas video with them and they invited us back to show their entire family. Sister Hurst invited them to follow Jesus Christ and be baptized. The dad wasn't interested but the son lit up and said yes! He didn't quite understand everything but he wanted to know and wants to follow Christ! It was such a miracle! No matter how long we have been out or in an area the Lord can guide us exactly to those that are seeking Him.
I loved the Christmas devotional last night! I've been studying a lot about the Saviors birth and the prophets that testified of Him. Which is all of them haha. But it's brought me a lot of hope reading and feeling the hope of the prophets of old. I love the scriptures!
I love all y'all!!
