Hey everyone this week has been so fast! It's really
starting to look a lot like Christmas here. Mostly because of how much it
snowed yesterday.... Though the members are getting really pumped up for
Christmas here. I've already helped put up 3 different Christmas trees! It's
really great to see that no matter where you go that the Christmas spirit is
alive! It's really a special gift we have been given to be able to celebrate
Christ's birth in such an amazing way. I have been really glad to see how well people
are reacting to the light the world videos, it really brings a lot of happiness
to everyone who is a part of it. Truly happiness comes from forgetting oneself
and working to help another!
This week a ton has happened (as you can expect from it
being longer than a week X) ) and a new month is here! I've been on three
splits this week which has been really fun. Weirdly enough though, on one of
the splits we were called by an investigator to help him move and made an
appointment with him. Though he never showed up for us to help him with the
appointment he made. We also haven't heard from him since...really makes me
wonder if he's alright or not. We also were able to talk with an amazing member
family that day as well which made the day amazing.
My companion and I are also working really hard to clean
up our area book and we found an awesome high school kid and his family from it. They have an awesome name too which means ash field. We
also had a ping pong tournament which was really fun! Although it wasn't quite
the turnout we were hoping it still went fairly well. From there we went to
help a member put up their Christmas tree and had a great time with them.
We also found quite a few interesting people as we were
finding (although it really is inevitable that you find weird people as a
missionary). We found this one really sweet catholic grandma who really wants
to learn English for some reason. We also found out that on her husband's side
of the family everyone is Mormon! It was really bizarre especially since
missionaries have never contacted her before!
We also found a host that night. If you are wondering
what a host is imagine a girls bar. Now instead of girls it's guys so basically
its a boys bar. He is a really cool person though and has stopped working as a
host. We also talked with another member
family and it turns out the Husband is a total Star Wars nerd! He even had some
small figurines, which is how we found out. In all it has been a really awesome
and interesting week!
I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas season and can
always feel the love of your family, friends, and those around you! I love you
guys!
Love,
Elder Harvey
