WARNING: Right now.... call the missionaries in the ward you live in and invite them over to share a message with you on Christmas. You don't want the wandering around looking for people to see on Christmas or Christmas Eve. I am going to have to do that and it's not going to be fun. Invite them over right now. Pick up the phone. You can do it people. Just ask them to share a Mormon message on Christmas. They need somewhere to go. Trust me. Just invite them. You can do it!
I AM A SURVIVOR!!!!!!! Guys.. I made it through the shortest day of the year! Thank the heavens we are finally gaining light. I could not be more excited. I know it sounds lame, but not seeing the sun for about the last three weeks is kind of draining. The darkness really gets to you. In Alaska no one has addresses on their homes. It's LAME! You can imagine how funny it is for Sister Hewitt to drive around looking for houses in the pitch black. We just end up laughing and knocking on peoples doors trying to find the right house. I am soooo happy the light is coming back :) yay!!!! light. light. light. light.
Okay.....for the food this week. I was blessed with the opportunity to be fed Salmon three times this week!!!! Holy cow it was delicious. My comp hates fish, so I usually just eat her serving. It's the best. Nothing like eating freshly caught salmon. It's divine. Ready for the crazy thing I ate this week. BUFFALO. Guys. I ate an actually buffalo. It was actually pretty good! Nothing like a good ole' buffalo burger haha.
This week Sister Hewitt and I were asked to start helping out another near by ward when we aren't busy. We have spent a couple of hours a day helping out. It has made our days go by way faster. I am super grateful for it!
This week Sister Hewitt and I planned so great caroling activities for the ward. We decided to have the ward members right down their non member friends that we could carol to. They all did and we planned three caroling events. One was Tuesday night for the ward council. That was success. One was Saturday night for the relief society and elder quorum. That was a fail. Only three people showed up, but you know what we got sing to a ton of people. Hopefully my voice didn't scare them off. Last night we caroled with the youth. Just about 30 youth showed up. I think all but 3 didn't come. It was a HUGE success. The youth got to feel a little bit of what missionary work is like. Hopefully it will start inspiring them to bring their friends. I loved planning and organizing. You know me. Right up my alley. It was the best.
Okay...I know I mentioned sign tracting last week. We actually have not been able to do that yet. Sister Hewitt and I have been caroling tracting. Yes. You read that right. Just my comp and I sing at peoples doors. I just about die of embarrassment at every house. At the end of two songs we hand them a pass along card and say, "If you know of anyone that is in need of the light of Christ this Christmas season give us a call". Usually people are dying laughing at the end or are super appreciative. I hope we can get some investigators our of it.
As far as lessons this week it was a pretty boring. Nothing really big happened. Just meeting with the same people and really strengthening the less actives. Thank goodness for this Christmas season though. It is a good excuse to get into peoples doors. Remember the Christmas season and real reason for it! If you don't then that is sad. Try and look for ways that you can bring the light of Christ to those people this Christmas Season. I love you all!
