Okay, not really. I don't have a lot though! It has just been a week full of lots of meetings! And do you like my Christmas tree? I thought I was cleaver. Anyways.. On Tuesday we went to Cincinnati for a Mission Leadership Council. We woke up at 4:15 am and didn't get home until 10:45 pm. It was a LONG day. We did lots of driving. But we made it!!! Then on Thursday we had a Zone planning session in the morning for 4 hours. And then on Friday we had a Zone meeting for 3 hours. It was lots of fun! So yeah. Long story short..we had lots of meetings.
Let's see....Oh! The reason why the title is about a bird is because Sister Ison and I caught a bird this week! You see, we went over to Susan's on Friday and she had birds living in the walls of her apartment. So long story short, we were singing some hymns and then we hear a bird walking right above us on her ceiling tiles. So we decided that it would be a good plan to just open one of the ceiling tiles and let it fly into her apartment. So we closed all of the doors, and opened the main door that leads into the hallway outside. We have a funny video of us doing it all. But we moved a ceiling tile and then it flew out. We chased it for about 20 minutes and finally threw a towel over it and caught it. We walked it outside and let it fly away. It was great fun!
We had some discouraging things happen this week. We had one person tell us that they were going to see if the Catholic church was any good. We had another get told that they couldn't meet with us for at least a month. And another one got frustrated with us for talking about how God can help them quit smoking. It was rough. I have to admit. I am excited for a new week to start! We are going to make some miracles happen and find lots of new people to teach!
We have some hope with Wayne! He is supposed to get baptized next week :D yay!!! He came to church yesterday and stayed all 3 hours! We were super excited. We are hoping that he sticks with next week to be baptized. Keep him in your prayers! He wants it to be true, he is just waiting for that definite answer from Heavenly Father. He is reading in the Book of Mormon, coming to church, reading the conference ensign, and praying. It is just a matter of time before he recognizes and receives that confirmation.
We had a really good lesson with our new family that we are teaching. Lavon, Richard, Chayanne, and Layla. We are super excited about them! We have had really spiritual lessons with them so far. Last week Richard prayed for us out loud, and he said that he has never prayed out loud before. And this week, he prayed for us again!!! :D It is just amazing too see him show his faith in God. We had a spiritual lesson last night and taught them part of the Restoration. They told us that they love us coming over. Lavon even posted on her Facebook last week that she had a really good talk with the Sisters. How crazy is that?? No one ever tells anyone that they are meeting with us! But it is really cool :) We are hoping for the best.
I am going to have to take a picture of our cute little Christmas tree and sent it next week! I love it :) I love Christmas too!!!! Have a wonderful week everyone! Keep praying for us!! We need it. You are all amazing!!! I love you!!! :D
