Hey everyone! How is everyone's life going? I never know how to start emails so I pretty much just say the same thing every week. Well this week went wonderfully of course! We had a sister's P-day down at the mission home on monday and we didn't get home til 9 so we didn't get any work done that day unfortunately. That's the one downer to being in college station is we are about an hour and a half from the rest of the mission so it takes us a whole lot longer to get to Mission things than everyone else. But we were able to see a lot of people this week so that's great! Friday our Zone went to the Temple and it was soo good! It always is but this time was just super super good! Yesterday Sarafina was baptized and it was such a great baptism. The spirit was so strong and she was just so happy! Her mom came and enjoyed it and is so happy for her daughter it is so wonderful. I gave a talk and then Elaine, a recent convert who has helped teach Sarafina with us, gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. After the baptism Sarafina said, "Okay what day this week can I come out with you and help you teach?" haha I was like well what day are you free and she said, "well let me see... Monday Tuesday wednesday thursday and friday!" she's so cute and she can't wait to teach with us. She said she's been waiting for a purpose in her life. I am so thankful for the Ottinger's in our ward who took the time to invite her to church and then to hear the missionary lessons. All it takes sometimes is an invitation. "Never suppress a generous thought!" This week we have interviews on Wednesday and then next week we have a mission p-day on the 22nd and then Mission temple day on the 23rd for Joseph Smith's birthday...so cool huh! Well I hope everyone is doing so great and all yall that are going on the cruise have a great Christmas! This will be the last email til you get back so I love you and Happy Holidays!
