what were you going to do for the talent show?:))) what do you want to ponderize this week...we have been doing a part of the Christmas story in Luke each night, want to do that? did you get your nativity set? feeling good? 

 

 

this is tht nativity seen that i bought.. but its super fragile.. and not sure how im gonna pack them home.. its called.. "Barro Negro.." 

this week for the ponderize.. Luke 2 11 :)  it was the theme of the was mission actvity!! :) 

hope that you can relax tonight, take some deep breathes and reflect on the weekend, write all down in your journal and be so happy! Say a prayer of gratitude and pause to hear the things around you-what a great season for miracles, we will still keep them in our prayers...the nativity is incredible, what a treasure, may have to pack it in its own box, we can figure something out with you...if you still want us to come :)
this week you said you have lots of appointments are they new investigators?
how were allans and benjamins families at their baptisms?

just benjamins mom or Grandma was there.. the story with his mom is super bad.. ha and alans parents were also there.. :) it was super good! we have alot of apps with members and with news.. i wanna try and pass by alot of members to give them a treat of some sort or somthing.. anm we are going to try and talk with lots of people.. new inv..

sounds good, the packages you had wrapped up at the activity, did you hand those out to people?

very nice!!! money is there if you need to purchase treats :) you will have to tell us about his mom sometime, so glad you were able to find him and bring him happiness! is his ward strong and will they continue to help him when you are gone?

well.. sort of... we are going to hand deliver them to the new people that want to hear more..  we had them there so they could see them and if they wanted one they had to write down there dirrrection and name number and we will deliver it to them with a 20 min lesson.. ;)
