Another week has gone by, a great Holiday has come to us and now passed. I will give you the updates from two Saturdays ago because that was the last time I emailed!
Saturday the 22nd we had a great appointment that night with the Moise's with great food:) they are the best.
Sunday was good except no one came to church of our investigators... OH well we dropped a lot of people though sifting through all them. We went to the Gonzo's that night for dinner which was great because they were doing there special Christmas dinner that night having us over. It was great. We were able to go by some investigators place that night and check up on the and get back in contact.
Monday was great! We were given the permission to watch Disney Movies on Christmas eve and Christmas Day! So we went to the Moise's at 8 in the morning to start watching all the movies we could:) The other Hazelwood missionaries came with us to there. It was awesome watching all these Movies especially new Disney Moives that have come out since we have been out on our Missions:) It was awesome. After watching a few movies we went with the Moise's to there families place for there christmas get together. It was awesome to spend time with all of them and to be able to get to know there family better. They are great and we are starting to teach some of them also.
Tuesday was the highlight of the week because it was Christmas!!! I hope you all had a great Christmas day!!! We started off the morning by going to the Moise's and being there for when there kids opened all there presents. That was fun. Then we went to the Gonzo's for breakfast. It was way good. Then we went to the Filius place and watched another movie and had dinner/lunch with them. Then after that we went back to the Moise's so we could call and skype our families. It was great!!! I loved being able to talk to my family. I now only have one more phone call left to make on the mission which will be this upcoming mothers day in 5 or so months.
Wednesday it was weird getting back into the swing of things because the two days before that we had off from doing work. We had a good lesson with the Filius though. It was good. We had dinner with them also eating all there left overs. haha We spent the rest of the day looking for more potentials and what not.
Thursday we had d-meet that morning. Which we were late to because we missed our bus then walked to the metro link station and missed that too. We ended that day missing 5 buses. It was really really bad... OH well... But we did get to get back in contact with many peope and what not. Even though all our appointments fell through. Which we ended up going by the Moises to get a Bike fixed and taught a lesson there.
Friday we went to our appointment with Darinae who ended up not being there but her friend Jaaniece was there and we taught her instead and picked her up as a new gator. Which was cool. Then we went to Chauncei and had a good lesson with him finishing up the third with him. That day was my 15 month mark. So less than 9 months left... craziness. We went to Penn Station for dinner with our gift cards we got for there to celebrate our 15th month mark because E. Gibbs and I came out together.
Saturday was good. We had a lesson with the Taylors that morning. It went well. Then we had to head to our next appointment which fell through. oh well. Then we had dinner and a lesson with Moises. Beth is getting ready to quit smoking! Then after that Phil came with us to a lesson at Brees. Which it was awesome. He has been one of the best members I have ever taken to a lesson to teach. We set a new date for her to be Baptized Jan 19th.
Sunday, Church was great. We had investigators there which was nice. After church we taught Jaaniece and Darinae. And we set Feb 9th for them to be baptized! IT was a really good lesson teaching them the first. We then had dinner with the Moises and did a mini lesson with them. Then they had a friend Shamagne over and we taught her the first lesson. The Moise's are doing great missionary work by inviting friends! It is so cool.
Today we are allowed to play board games with members so we are doing that today! YEAH! Have a great New Year! I will be seeing you this year! later this year though, like 9 months... haha
Love,
