White Christmas!

Well, We had an awesome Christmas here in Ashland, KY. On Christmas Eve, we went to a members for lunch and that was our only traditional meal for the Holiday season. And we found 5 new investigators that day! Thats more then what we've found in the past few weeks! That night, we went to the apartment of a couple other Elders who cover Ashland on Bike(we cover Flatwoods, Russell and Ironton by car) and opened presents that we bought for each other. I got a pocket watch and its suuuuuper cool! I pretty love it. They spent the night over at our apartment and we all opened our presents that we got from family and friends.

Santa was kind enough to get me a GPS and an awesome blanket and of course, good music, along with candy and food. Mmmmmm! We went over to a members house for Christmas breakfast and they made Biscuits and Gravy. Not just any gravy either, but CHOCOLATE GRAVY. It was sooo good. I wanted the recipe but its a family secret, and I'd have to marry a guy to get it. haha. An hour later we went to another members house for lunch and one of their sons works at the MTC and loved having us there. He's constantly talking about missionary work and stuff and he gave us some super sweet ideas to try with member missionary work, which we're super excited for. We then called our families and got to talk to them for about 40 minutes and I found that I had a lot to say. It was great!

A few hours later, we found ourselves at our bishops house eating a normal dinner and stuff, and that was pretty much it. We watched the Joy to the World DVD a couple times with members or investigators. Since then, not much has happened. I can't wait to go teach one of the new investigators we found tomorrow. His name is Brad Lyon, and he knows some of the members. He let us in quick and at first said there was the bible and only the bible, but by the end of the lesson we gave him a Book of Mormon and he invited us to come back and possibly teach him and his family the next lesson. He also introduced us to his family and so we're pretty excited. :D

Well, til next week!
