Crazy, it is December! I never ever imagined actually being on my mission for Christmas but now it is finally here. This Christmas is definitely going to be different then all the past Christmas's I have had so it will be a fun and exciting adventure! I never ever thought I would say this... But it actually got COLD this week. Say what?? Yeah thanksgiving morning it was cold! We live in a small house and the floors are all concrete and my feet froze!!!! It was 45 degrees outside, you are probably laughing at me because I think that is cold now days, but honestly I was freezing. Its going to be a rude awakening going back to Utah snow! Inside our apartment it was 60 degrees because in Florida well all the old houses at least there is no such thing as a heater so we just have to suffer through it. But it was awesome to finally stay dry one day! Ever sense, all the mornings have been really foggy which is awesome because it reminds me of home. I get to pretend that there are mountains behind all the fog and half the time I would think about all the foggy days I get to go snowboarding! Well guess its a winter wonderland... hahah not, today is back to its usual hot!!!
Thank you guys soooooooooooo much for the package!!! It is awesome I love having a Christmas count down. I am still in unbelief that it is December 2 already! This Saturday we have transfer calls so I may or may not be in my same area I will let you know next Monday, chances are I will be staying here!
Thanksgiving was awesome! We have some really cool members in our branch that invited us over for dinner. The picture that you got, we were at our ward mission leaders house. They are an awesome family the had us over for dinner and pie. We played outside with them and there kids it was really an awesome day. I didn't get as homesick as I thought I would so that is always a plus. We also wanted to see Less actives that day because we knew they would be home. Some of them love to see us and some don't, but that's the missionary life. We recently got a super awesome family in our branch the one that sent the picture last Sunday. They also had us over on Thursday night, they are such a cool family and are really helping us out with the member missionary effort in this area. Our branch is small, it is powerful to see that so few people can do such great things and how much they can help in the missionary effort.
As the missionary life goes it was a great week, a lot of people were out of town for the Holidays so we had to do what we could, which consisted of finding new Investigators. We found a few high school girls that were sitting at a table in the apartment park. These are the more rundown apartments so we knew they would have crazy back rounds. All we knew is that we could help change there life around and they were really accepting to it. It has been fun to see that people are able to change when they are able to notice Christ is really in the picture. We are helping them as much as we can, already they are improving and finding better ways to spend there time. I am excited for them and even a few of there families have wanted to listen to our message. It has been so exciting to see people change. Speaking of Change there is one of our investigators that is going through a really tough time and thought things just were going to work out, well then one day we invited her to come to church and she accepted. She has two little kids and her name is Lisa, she came to church on sunday and now I am excited to see how this week plays out with her!
I am sorry time is so short and it seems like it is everyweek but I have to go now so I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful week. Remember the reason for the season!
Happy Holidays!!!
Love,
Elder Williams
