Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Y'all! :)

I can now officially say that I will be home for Christmas haha, Hard to believe that next Christmas I will be home with the fam bam again! Crazy how fast time flies. This past week was a good one! We had MLC which was a lot of fun cause I got to see a lot of my mission buddies that I came out with! After MLC we had exchanges with the AP's which was a lot of fun. I went with Elder Willie and all we did was tract sooooo ya what a time right? haha no it was good we were able to talk to a lot of people and share a lot of the light the world cards. Its funny to see peoples reactions when you go to hand them a card. Some of them thought it was going to condemn their soul if we gave it to them cause we aren't real "Christians" I guess haha. we just laughed and told them a little bit about our message. It was a fun exchange though! Elder Willie is a good guy, He reminds me a lot of my self. 

This past week we also had Garth Beck Jr's baptism!! It was a great service. I love being able to be apart and witness someone entering into the waters of baptism. The spirit is always so strong and always so confirming letting me know that this truly is the Lords kingdom again on the earth. What a remarkable opportunity I have to be able to bring others back into it! Garth was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints on Sunday and had an amazing glow about him! I'm so excited for him and wahat he has in store for his future!

This Sunday I was also lucky enough to give one of the recent converts here, Brother Sam Wimer the priesthood!! I felt so honored that he asked me to do that. I can honestly say that, that was the first time I have ever felt the spirit put words into my mouth of what I needed to say. It was a testimony strengthening experience for sure! 

Things out here are going pretty good! We are working hard and loving every minuted of it. We have been having some good success, and we are really enjoying our time together here in Clarksburg. I feel truly blessed to have Elder Dutson as my Companion. Hes the man! 

I hope you all have a happy New year. Think of some goals that will make you stretch and become your best self this year. Remember there is no growth in a comfort zone and there is no comfort in a growth zone. Set goals and report them to heavenly father so he can help you reach them this new year! I love you all and hope you have a great week!! stay safe :)
