Dear Family,

This week has been a tiring one. We did service literally all week. Tuesday through Friday, we volunteered to help a less active member remove popcorn, sand, plaster, and prime a house that she has been working on. BIG PROJECT were hoping that we can teach the people we were doing it for, were known in the neighborhood as the 'Good guys' now and there are many who could use are help.  We did this hoping that she would come to church and make that a priority. Hopefully she will come back, shes only been a member for a few years, with a rockin testimony, she just gets super busy i guess on Sundays  Her husband has to work 2 jobs.

Friday we tried to cram in a lot of visiting, and got a short lesson in with our only investigator, Lyndell, about the necessity of prayer, We convinced her to let us help her with setting up for Christmas  (she has a lot of health problems, tendinitis in her hands and stuff, she is in her 70s) after which she gave us like a hundred ties she had been collecting over the years! It was like Christmas morning jackpot! we were like little boys going through therm! She is awesome, i love her a lot, She doesn't act her age, more like she is in her 40s haha, she is like a best friend/Grandma figure to us, at least in her eyes. Were hoping she can get better and keep progressing, She just needs to pray! 

Saturday we had a service project with the Ward for the Christmas party this coming week, we went around delivering cookies and planted flowers in a part-members yard (the Hankins Family) without them knowing! also raked up there leaves and cleaned the yard up for a nice surprise. (On a side note: while we were doing that we witnessed a TON of cops in armor, pack-in',  swarm this house down the street, we heard lots of yelling and stuff. Probably was a Drug bust. Haha.) Then that afternoon we spent moving a member with our very small elders quorum. By the end of that we were spent, and it was already 5pm.

LONG WEEK

Studying in the BoM just got to the part where Amalikiah is chased out of Zarahemla, it is interesting to compare the differences of leadership traits between him and Moroni. He is kind of a tool.

Anyway, Love you all, [], Cant wait to talk to you all at christmas!
