Hello friends and family!!!
This was another wonderful week of serving in the Lord's vineyard- the best place to be! Here are a few highlights:
☆ exchanges with the Hermana's in Blythe! Sister Mudrow and I drove 2 1/2 hours to California and spent the next 24 hours with our favorites! It was a great time!
Sister Klvacek and I had a super cool experience finding and setting a guy on date for baptism. We had driven down this dark dirt road in the middle of nowhere. We knocked on the door and asked for Daniel but the people living there told us he lives in a trailer in their backyard. So Sister Klvacek and I made our way through this dirt backyard full of random trash. His trailer was all dark on the door was wide open, a little sketchy. But we called for Daniel and he ended up coming to the door. After talking to him a little bit and finding out that he was very familiar with the church, we began asking him a few questions. He said he believes the Book of Mormon is the word of God and actually reads it everyday, knows Joseph Smith is a prophet, and feels like God is leading him to this church. It was AMAZING! So we set him on date for January 7th.
It's times like those where I know God knows each one of us. He was aware of Daniel and wants the best for him. God is in the very details of our lives and I know He is guiding me to those who are searching for this gospel. It's incredible. I just love it! I love God!
☆ Jamaal's family is still doing awesome! We had 2 lessons with them this week and it was so good! The next day, Aaliyah (8 years old), was telling all her friends about how when your baptized, your sins are all washed away. But you also need to get the Holy Ghost which is like fire "but don't worry, you're not actually going to catch on fire." One of her friends asked her what church she goes to and she responded saying, "only the BEST church ever!!!" Hahah so cute! I love that family and am so excited for them!
☆ we set a goal for the week to find 12 new people to teach. Well, by the Saturday we had only found 4 wonderful people. But we knew that God had more children for us to find! So Sunday Sister Mudrow and I went to drop a gift off at one of our recent converts house. Before we got out of the car, we prayed for a miracle and asked Him to lead us to those people. Not but 30 minutes later, we found a couple just moving in, a lady CAME UP TO US and asked to learn what we teach, and then we knocked on this guys door and shared a message with him and he thanked us, said he really needed to hear that today, and wanted us to come back. We were blown away. God is so good and I know he performs miracles.
I love you all. I hope you've had a great week. If you ever need anything, please let me know. I'm here for you!
“Because He came to earth, we have a perfect example to follow. As we strive to become more like Him, we will have joy and happiness in our lives and peace each day of the year. It is His example which, if followed, stirs within us more kindness and love, more respect and concern for others."
I love my Savior Jesus Christ. I know because He came to earth, we have purpose in our life. Because He came, we can repent. Because He came, we can live after we die and be with our families forever. What a blessing and reason to REJOICE! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 
love,
