It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas!! -- November 28, 2016


Hello one and all!

This week has been really fast, but really good!
So we started out on Monday with a Zone Thanksgiving Party! It was really good and we enjoyed the food there! Then afterwards we had a Sisters Meeting where we practiced scheduling people for baptism and then we went out Finding around the University. We had more challenges from Sister Blair. So we had to hand out two Book of Mormons, share a Bible Story, and ask how many scarves it would take to keep a giraffe warm. So we asked this one lady about her scarf and then about the giraffes and tied that into Noah's ark and then gave her a Book of Mormon. Then it was time to go in. So we almost made it! Almost!



Tuesday we woke up early and got a taxi to the chapel to catch the coach to Leeds. Then we had an amazing zone conference. Afterwards we rode back to Grimsby and spent the night with the Sisters there. Sorry there's not too much to report on Tuesday as I don't have my notes with me...

Wednesday. Well district meeting got cancelled last minute. So we had to travel back to Louth early and then we did our personal and companionship study at home. Afterwards we went to help Sister Fox put some stuff together for the Christmas Nativity program. Then we tried by a bunch of formers. And they were ALL in! It was crazy! None of them were interested, but at least we got to share a little message with them and make sure they were all ok!

Thursday was busy. Like really busy we almost forgot it was Thanksgiving. Almost. We got a ride to Mablethorpe in the morning and met with some members to go over the area plan and the Christmas Initiative. Then we had a lesson with a man named Stuart. He has been to church twice now. So we finally got to meet with him and teach the first lesson and schedule him for Baptism! Then we went in for lunch and had another first lesson with a girl named Samie. We had hot chocolate together and then we went for Thanksgiving with the Harvey's! It was so good! I just love them so much :)

Friday was short. We had weekly planning and then went to do service for Josephine. She needed some help moving and cleaning some furniture. Then we went in to change our clothes and go have a lesson with Jackie. Then we had tea with the O'Grams and went to have a lesson with Jane and Andy about Family History. It was so good! Andy is actually really excited about family history so things might be turning around for him! Fingers crossed!

Saturday went well. We started with Mormon.org time and then went out knocking and then in for lunch. After lunch we went to visit Michael and answer some of his concerns and then we came in for tea and twelve weeks. So it was another short day.

Sunday was Stake Conference and was so good! Then we went to have a lesson. But he didn't show up. So we taught Sister Stephenson about Patriarchal Blessings and then went to have a lesson with Jackie. Then we walked around for about half an hour and came in for tea and twelve weeks.

So yeah that about sums up my week.  Sorry this letter is so all over the place. But I hope everyone had a great week and has another one coming up! I love you all!
Oh and if you haven't yet, go check out the "Light the World" video on Mormon.org. It is the best thing ever. And then share it. Let's light the world this Christmas season :)

Sister Hope
