HAPPY NEW YEAR

January 4, 2016

This week was crazy!!! On New Years Eve I had the opportunity to go down to the DC temple and play the guitar at the visitors center in the auditorium there it was a lot of fun! Initially I was supposed to just play prelude music while everyone was coming in to the auditorium but they told me right before it started that they were just going to play a video as everyone was coming in and that I would just be the opening act after they said the opening prayer and played a couple more videos. So I was super nervous about that haha but it ended up going well! We performed twice so we didn't get home until 11:30. But that was a lot of fun!

On New Years day we weren't supposed to go out and proselyte so we hung out with some members and we watched the Saratov Approach, I love that movie!

We had some pretty sweet miracles too! We felt inspired to go around and visit a bunch of the former investigators in our area book. We stopped by this guy named Dennis and he immediately let us in. He was telling us that the past month has been depressing for him and that he has been waiting for the missionaries to come back to teach him! We put him on date to be baptized on January 23 and he is really excited about that! He is already talking about who he wants to baptize him haha we're pumped for that! Hopefully we can get him to come to church so he can actually be baptized lol! Then, while we were at church we were informed of another miracle! There is a guy in our ward who recently started coming back to church when I first came in to this area and his wife is a non member. We have been told not to try and teach her because she wasn't interested so all we could really do with her was pray and hope for the best, but on Sunday she went in to the bishop and told her that she wants to be baptized and she wants to know what she needs to do in order to get baptized, so we are going to begin teaching her and we are super excited about that! Our teaching pool is getting really big which is unheard of for this area! Miracles!

Anyways I hope y'all have a fantastic week!
