So... This week... Our theme is: Our plans
all fall through, The gospel's still true. (You tube: Tracting in a
winter wonderland by Voicemale. Funny song.)
But really - everything fell through and it has been so
heartbreaking. There are so many great people that we are trying to
teach. I know that it will bring the most happiness to their lives; but
something else always comes up. I wish they could have a stronger sense
of just how important this is.
One particular less active sister that we taught this week has
really touched my heart. She knows with all her heart that the church is true
and she has a very firm testimony. She is such a sweet sister. I love visiting with her :)
She's quickly becoming on of my favorites :)
Oh and about the end of the world - Haha, we actually have a
baptism that day! I am super excited. And if it is the end of the world,
which I don't believe anyways, a baptism would be the perfect way to
end it, right? What kind of crazy stuff have you been hearing? It's
funny that I am only a couple states over but I feel like I am in a
completely different world. I don't hear about the same things or even
feel like I am in the same country most of the time.
Ok so a fun story - Last Monday night we had dinner with the Bishop
and his family. I love eating over there because we all laugh so hard I
consider it an ab workout! This night was Mexican themed. We had tacos
and authentic Mexican cookies. A word of advice to all who will listen:
store-bought Mexican cookies are awful. One of them was this strawberry
flavored graham-type cookie with marshmallow stuff on it. One bite and
we were all repulsed. I think only Bishop even finished it, haha, and I
know he didn't enjoy it. I think the funniest reaction was when Sister
B took a bit and nearly gagging, proclaimed: "This is offensive!"
And my companion and I got to see fireworks on Saturday! That
was fun :) I guess it was the Snowflake Festival. I'm not sure what all
it was, probably just the usual Christmas parade and such like Canon City
does.
Hmmm, this next week is going to be great. I don't know how yet. I
just know that it will be. I will tell you all about it next Monday. I
love you all!
Sister Alexis
