Yay! So I have had a week full of so much that I cant remember everything But I will sure try! We were able to serve Sister Sutherland who has always know the church is true but never had the opportunity to meet with the missionaries till a few years ago and is baptized. She is about 75 and was living in an assisted living center but now with money lives in this tiny trailer with 2 cats. She is also allergic to dust so we just went over and helped her clean and washed her cloths and stuff. She was so grateful for our help and kept saying what we did in a couple of hours would have taken her like a week. we also helped Sister V. ( no one can ever remember her real last name so it is V.) and she was also a convert and all by herself so we helped clean and keep her company and stuff. It is hard because she cant leave the house till it is over 45 degrees or else she could go to the hospital but we love her and I love her Laugh!

So this week when we knocked on the doors for 2 hours we took a caroling approach singing silent night then we share the He is born video card and tell them more about Christ. last Monday we did it as a zone and you would not believe how many slammed the door on us for just singing joy to the world or something. Then others call there whole family to come and hear! I love it though.

In one of my personal study's this week I was in Mosiah and it talked about how they made all sorts of different weapons as they were at war with the Lamanites, then after they were done fighting they continued to build all sorts of weapons so they could be prepared for when the Lamanites came to destroy them. I likened this to how we need to continually build up our weapons of war against Satan if he is destroying us or not we need those things. that have to do with the basics, praying daily/often, daily reading scriptures, church, tithing, etc. We need these everyday to be able to grow closer to the Savior than to Satan.  Well love you all and hope you have a very Marry Christmoose ( haha we saw that on a sign at a door we knocked on with a pic of a moose and it sort of stuck!)
