Hey y'all! Can you believe that it's almost 2019!?
It was a really good week. I loved talking to my family on Christmas. It really made me think about why I am here in Arkansas. I'm here because I love my savior and I know how much happiness can be found in the gospel and I want to share that with others. The joy that I feel is so incredible and I know it will bless the life of anyone who is willing to listen to me and "experiment on the word."
It's amazing how much I can love the people here. I don't know them and all they do is reject the good news that I have to share, but I love them! Even the lady that yelled at us that she was a "lifelong lutheran" and to "never come back" and then slammed the door. I love her because she is my sister and I know that my Heavenly Father loves her too. I love my companions and the ward members. And I love all of you. Thank you for all of your support and prayers. They are very needed.
This week, while at service at a food pantry, the person in charge asked us if we could test an escape room he designed. Because of the circumstances, we couldn't say no. The escape room was completely centered on the Savior's resurrection. All of the clues were scriptures that we had to interpret based off of the doctrine of Christ. It was really cool and powerful to experience and we were able to have a lot of amazing gospel discussions afterwards.
At a dinner lesson, we were teaching about the 4th week of light the world and one of the kids said, "I know that one, it's light your face!" It was really funny. This week we also happened to stop by some members who were trying to organize their garage and they enlisted our help and we ended up building one shelf and demolishing another (both of which were really fun).
Happy New Years! I'll talk to you next year. ;)
