Hello! December
2nd 2013
I hope this finds everyone well fed and
happy since Thanksgiving just happened! It was a great day for us in the
mission field to spend it with friends who have become like family. They had an
open house that anybody could come to so we met a lot of different people and
just had a good time eating and singing Christmas songs! :) Christmas time is
my favorite and especially as a missionary. People tend to be more open about
hearing about Christ. I wish it was like that all year round but we will use it
to our advantage!
We were able to have quite a few lessons
with Less-actives and they all went very well. And we made some good contact
with people. We officially have a baptismal date for December 28th that we are
really excited about! She is a 16 year old girl who's Aunt is a member and she
really loves the Church. So we feel pretty good about her.
And this weekend for the first time in about
2 years, they had a Baptism of a part-member family of a 9 and 11 year old
boys. It was very powerful and so nice to see a baptism again. The spirit is
always so strong at them.
We have faced some difficulties within the
ward and just things that we really need to help and change so that the
missionary work in this area can move forward. I know the Lord will provide a
way and that is where faith has to play such a huge part. Sometimes we can't
see how things will work out or how things will play out. But with faith
leading us, we don't have to know all things. and that is such a blessing and
can truly help us to rely on the Lord and I have come to learn the more faith
we exercise, the more miracles we see.
This week, we have a lot of practices in
order to get ready for the program. We are hoping it will get taped but who
knows. It will be a lot of fun and we are helping to put up some of the
decorations and that has been fun and pictures will come of that for sure! This
week will be a great week! I love you all! Sister Haws
