Sister Miller and I had a fantastic week! It started when we went to the Christmas parade in downtown Hot Springs. That was really fun! It was at night so it was cold, but it was really fun! I loved it. We went with the Quezenberrys. They are a great family that we eat with every Monday night. They rock!! And they are having us over for Christmas. I'm excited about that.
Tuesday we went to Malvern. That is our normal Tuesday activity. We work with some part member families there and some less active families. It is great. Tuesday night Sister Costley and Eckardt came for exchanges. That was fun. They were on their way to Camden, AR to open that area, and President Drewes said we could to exchanges. That was really fun. Sister Eckardt has only been out for four weeks so it made me not so nervous to train. I hope I don't have to train. I would like to stay with Sister Miller until the end, but we will see what the Lord wants in a couple of weeks.
Wednesday was my day with Sister Eckardt. She is SO GREAT!! She is really quiet... I think like I was when I first came out. That wont last long. We did a lot that day.
Thursday I went with Sister Costley. That was so fun! We are going home together, so it was fun to get to know her. She is a FANTASTIC missionary! I love her.Friday the Sisters left, and Sister Miller and I were together again. LOVE HER!!Saturday was our ward Christmas party. That was fun. NOW THE BIG DAY!!! SUNDAY!! So on Tuesday we got a phone call from the mission office with a referral for us. That is always GREAT!! So Sister Anderson told us that there was a man that wanted us to teach his Granddaughter that wanted to get baptized! SO I called him right after I got off the phone with Sister Anderson and Brother Griffith said that his granddaughter was going to be there and a family of four!! That was EXCITING!!! So we went out and taught them yesterday. There ended up being SIX INVESTIGATORS there. The only down side to this is that they live 48 miles away from us. They go to the Glenwood Branch. SO we will be driving over 100 miles every Sunday until they get baptized. But I don't really care about that, and I don't think President Drewes does either. I'm just really excited to teach them! I love member referrals! That is the best way to do missionary work!!
