The One Where It's Christmas!!!

-

 HEY YALL!! Merry Christmas!! I hope you all are having a great Christmas and enjoying family time! Yay I just love Christmas. Its good, but hard being being away for Christmas. Lets get into my week....


Some happy things and what I learned from them:
• We met the cutest grandma ever! She is so funny and honestly i could talk for hours with her. We taught her a few lessons and cleared up a lot of misconceptions that people have about the church. And then laughed and talked for a while. We call her like every other day and she rants and tells us about her life and I just love it hahaha.
• We have been getting SO MUCH Christmas treats and goodies and gifts. Its practically coming out of our ears at this point. But it is so sweet! We love our ward!!
• Tray, our recent convert, got caroled to by one of the families in our ward and he said that he will never forget it. He was so happy when he told us about it!! I want to go caroling and give treats to all the people when i get home, because it truly does make people feel so happy and loved.
• We got to wrap presents for our ward mission leaders family! It was such a fun service to do and broke up the proselyting, regular missionary work. We enjoyed it and got to chat with Sister Johnson! Love her.
• Our recent convert Trays whole family got to come to church on Sunday. We have been praying with the Lockharts for a while now to help Danielle (the mom) have Sundays off and guess what?!? She got Sundays off for the month of January. Prayer works!! So she can get baptized soon hopefully!!

Some funny things that made me laugh:
• Soooo if anyone didn't know, I sleep walk. Yes, I'm weird. We already knew that. Well Sister Rasmussen now knows that, because 2 nights ago I was sleep walking and woke up to me grabbing ahold of the tree. I slightly remember that lol. And then we wake up in the morning and the Christmas tree is knocked over and taken apart ahhaha. Oops
• Our poor ward. It is so tiny, like maybe 30 active members. None of which have very much musical talent. But they try. We had 3 musical numbers this Sunday for Christmas. All of which were singing and all of which were pretty horrible singing. But they tried and that's what counts.
• We street contacted this guy and asked if he wanted to hear a scripture about Jesus Christ. He goes, " Ya I believe in aliens too!". Ok sir, you don't have to be like that. I just started laughing when he said that to us. So out of pocket.

Some hard things and what I learned from them: 
• We had a very rainy missionary day. That was kinda painful, because it surprisingly is still cold in Vegas. We still keep the work goin rain or shine. It was good though!!
• We had a hard time finding people that will listen to us yet again. I was still having a good attitude and being so diligent. And I started really questioning why we weren't finding people. And then I read Alma 8 for personal study. And I almost screamed during personal study!! Because it seemed like it was literally written for me. In this chapter, Alma goes to teach the people in Ammonihah and they are rejecting him left and right. He leaves the city and is sad. But an angel comes to him and tells him to "lift up his head and rejoice" because he has been diligent in keeping the commandments of God and he will be blessed. He is told to turn back and teach the people again. So he does that and then finds Amulek!! And Amulek then listens to him and helps him and teaches with him. Soooooooo Sister Rasmussen and I turned back and went to the people of las Vegas again and we found 5 PEOPLE this week!! I love the scriptures!!

Drum roll please🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁Sister Rose time

I already kinda did a spiritual thought above, so just read that. But also, Jesus loves you! He died for you! Our Heavenly Father loves you! He knows us! He cares about us! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 🎄 

I love yall,
Sister Rose

Hey yall!! Its been a good past couple weeks!! We are just workin hard and loving every second! Its been a good time. Let's get into it..... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend went from nervous to excited when she learned of her new best friend: the Holy Ghost! You don't realize, or maybe you just take for granted the incredible gift you have until a child opens your eyes. "Why are you so excited to be baptized Maite?" She replies: "Because then I won't be alone anymore." #precious • Our friend Alejandra is literally so precious! She is so ready to be baptized!! She's getting baptized this Saturday!! Yay! We taught her about fasting and she goes " Oh I actually learned about that yesterday at church and I decided to do that today!!" She had literally been fasting when we taught her about fasting! #presh • A guy that we had talked to so briefly and got his number didn't reply to us for a bit a week. He finally r...

  Hey yall! Another great work in Kingman. Sometimes I feel like I am not in America and this was one of those weeks. I love it! Let's get into it.... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend Linda is just THE best ever. She is so short, the top of her head literally comes to the bottom of my ribs. But she is just like our little grandma. I love her. Guess what!?! Her baptism day is upon us! Long awaited, but it is this Saturday and she is so so so excited!! She told us yesterday that she just feels so ready! She feels like she has done the work(which she for sure has) and she feels ready to make this covenant with God. That is what the Atonement of Jesus Christ does for you people!! It brings you confidence. Confidence in the Lord and confidence in your abilities through Jesus Christ!! • We had a lesson with a returning member and his fiancé, Shi. Shi said that she wants to learn more about baptism and work towards it!! Such a miracle! They have gone through a ...

Ughhh so awesome!! They asmed us for scriptures and talk to read and listen to!! God is pre...
