What is going on everyone?
This week was such a good one! It was so wild, holy cow! I got a new companion named Elder Joyner from North Ogden. He is a stud and we get along really good so far. We also got two new elders in our ward which has been a blast. We got Elder Wagoner from New Mexico and Elder Steidley from Blackfoot, ID. We have had such a good time. I have missed having a 4 elder apartment.
Gene was baptized this week! It was so awesome to see him take that first step on the covenant path. He has gone through so much in his life so it was so cool to see him come unto Jesus Christ. It has been awesome teaching him. He was confirmed the next day and also received the Aaronic Priesthood. It was super stressful though because he was like ten minutes late for church so we thought he wasn't going to show up. But, luckily, he made it and was able to receive the Holy Ghost.
We had an awesome lesson with one of the people we are teaching named Sarah. She is super interested in the Book of Mormon and absolutely loved the Restoration. She committed to be baptized on the 26th of January. She didn't come to church though which is sad but it's all good. We also recontacted the man, Jeremy Scott, this week and he is ready to get back into things. We are teaching him on Thursday which should be good.
Other than that, it was pretty busy with transfers. On Christmas Even, we treated ourselves with some Applebees and then went caroling to some people we are teaching and less active members. It was sick. I love you guys and hope you have had a Merry Christmas. It was so good talking to the fam today. I love them so much! Have a good week!
