This week has been pretty good. I think I might start all of my emails like that but it was a good week. My Christmas was pretty awesome although by the end of the day I thought I might explode. We ate in a different members home all three meals. Way too much food. I got to talk to my family which was pretty neat. I am amazed at the technology that we have to be able to do that. We were asked to spend sometime studying and ponder about Jesus Christ on Christmas, it was a very neat to do that. This week we picked a street to go finding on. When we got to the street we found only 3 houses. So we knocked all three. We ended up talking with one person at all three house but only the last house were we able to teach them. We met Mattie and we talked about prayer and faith, we told her about how our message is centered on Christ and asked if we could teach her more she opened the door and told us to come in. We taught her the first lesson and gave her a Book of Mormon. We did our compa...

Merry Christmas! This week has been full of running around and trying to find people to talk to. We stopped by and saw Janna, a member of the branch. She was happy to see us but she said she didn't have time to talk she had to go clean up the mess her dogs had made in the back yard. We ask if we could help and at first she said no but after a lot of begging she let us help her. So we got to know her some more as we helped her. We also got to help with Toys for tots over in Memphis. We sorted toys and passed some out. It was really fun and the people were so grateful. It was cool to be able to be apart of that for a couple hours. We started to teach Kasey. She is a members little sister. She is so sweet and is really wanting to know what she is needing to do to become closer to Jesus Christ. We were knocking some doors and a lady named China opened the door and let us right in. She had a bunch of girls from her church over and they were practicing a praise dance and a skit fo...

Hello! These last two weeks have been pretty good. A lot has happened and I am excited to tell ya about it. Also this week is transfers and Sister Kulikowski and I will be staying in West Memphis So two Mondays ago we went to a referral named Adrian that we got from the elders awhile ago. We haven't had much contact with her so we went to ask if she was still interested. Well she said no, but we didn't just want to leave after that so we showed her the Light the World video. She loved it and said that she would get her family involved and the would do that. Then we invited her to the musical tribute she started writing down the information about it and asked us how our church services were. We told her and she was blown away that we take the sacrament every week. We invited her to come take the sacrament this Sunday. She started to open up more about her family and we extended some invitations with specific promise blessing and she said that they would start reading the Book ...

Hello! This week was super busy and way fun. We got to do a lot of service this week which is always so good. To kick off our December we were able to go with Madison (a member in the branch who got baptized a year ago from Indiana) to her school and she got to practice doing an eye exam on us. She is really sweet and was so excited to have us come with her. She is in school to become an optometrist. Then we went over to Ricky's and raked up some of his leafs. On Friday we went to Sister Chisms house and helped her decorate for Christmas it was really fun. Last Monday we went finding and we met two people the first was a lady who wasn't interested in taking the lessons but loved the idea for Light the World. She said that she would be doing that this year. The second on we met was a man who wasn't so nice to us and kept saying that we didn't "know" the Book of Mormon was true and said that we have been brainwashed. It was not very fun and Sister Kulikowsk...
