This week is transfer week and I am staying and my companion is leaving. :-( My new companion is Sister Blackwell and she was my MTC companion. (Apparently that doesn't happen very often. It is rare.) So that will be fun. I am the senior companion which is weird since we have been out the same amount of time.

On Monday we went to Riverfront Park and it was sooooo much fun. When we were walking in the city it was snowing big snowflakes and it felt like I was walking in a movie in New York. Every time I go outside I feel like I am living in a movie like New In Town. It is just so foreign to me. Then this week we also got stuck in the snow a ton of times. We also almost died twice which you know is always an adventure. I am still not used to snow.

We met with a former investigator and she is a Messianic Jew which is very interesting. We are seeing her again this week. Her name is Jeannie and she doesn't think that she needs to be baptized again so that will be interesting to address. She also kept telling us how she believes everything that we say ~ but really she doesn't. So her lessons are going to be awesome....ly fantastic.
I don't know if you've heard this before, but during my district meeting I learned that December 23th is actually called Happy Christmas Adam. (Apparently it is a Utah thing.) Then for Christmas Eve we went to Sister Cavanaugh's house and that was good ~ then we went caroling and that is always fun!

Then for Christmas day I went to the Stake President's for breakfast a devotional then at 12 I skyped you!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so weird to see all of you. It took we a while to recover after seeing you. Only took me about a day to get over it. I am good now.

| Skyping |
One morning this week we were getting bashed on by a potential investigator and all we did was testify to him. He believes that Jesus Christ, God and the Holy Ghost are entities of God. God took a part of himself and put it into a little baby who is Jesus. He told us that he hopes we eventually figure it out for ourselves. Not to be sassy on email ~ but I already have. I know this church is true and it has made me so happy.
I am so happy for Scott's friend. What is his name? The sisters were bummed because they want Scott as a friend to fellowship him. He could skype for the lessons and be there that way if they want him as fellowship for his friend. Member missionary work is by far better than just missionary work. We as missionaries, rely on the members so much. I was a horrible member before my mission in the area of being a missionary. Just being a friend is a way to start because people will see a difference in you. They will notice the light that you radiate and they will want to know what it is even if they are not aware of it themselves.
Well I am being stretched yet again by the Lord. I don't want Sister Griffith to leave and I don't want to lead out an area that I am not really familiar with yet. I am so overwhelmed right now but I keep telling myself that the Lord knows what he is doing and that I am supposed to learn something because of this. I just want know what I have to learn now. This is my third transfer in a row of having a different companion. I want to have one for more than 1 transfer. I just can't wait to go on a mission with my husband when we are older where I don't have to worry about my companion changing. That will be the day!
Well I love all of you and I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Toodaloo!
