Yesterday was awesome in the fact we didn't have the 2 hours of tracting time because of the time it would take to drive to the stake center in time for the Christmas Devotional, but we decided we didn't want to leave without finishing off our weekly goals, so right at6:59pm we handed out our fifth Book of Mormon to a sweet Vietnamese woman and had our fifth lesson. And not only that, but we had our first experience putting someone on date!! We met this guy who's a music producer (he's not Cambodian so we'll have to pass him on, but until we do he's still ours) and he'll be out of town until the end of January, so we couldn't put him on date for December which is what our mission goal is, but we had our first experience actually having someone put on date at the doorstep! He has a religion, but he was pretty interested in what we had to offer which surprised us. It made the Christmas Devotional all the more sweeter to sit there knowing we made pretty much all our weekly goals.
This past weekend the stake center had a Festival of the Nativities where the whole building was decked out in Christmas trees and tables upon tables of Nativities! It was beautiful! And not only that, but we had a less active family which we had just visited show up! Our first family to follow through in going to an activity we invited them to! Needless to say, we were excited. Most of the work here is in reactivating members, even those who forget they're members until they realize some things sound familiar and realize they were baptized in '82.
Well, computer times up so I have to go!
Love you!
