Hey Fam!
So it's P-day. This week has flown by so quick. Yesterday morning at 4:30am Elder Romney sat up and said, "Hey Elder, are you awake" NO! "We only have 5 weeks left this transfer, we have to make the most of it!" OK! -- I am so glad that my companion is my best friend, it makes this all so much more fun!
Wednesday I had a  leadership training to be a district leader. One of my responsiblites is to hold a weekly training to help other missionaries. As I have prepared for our first district council I have felt impressed to focus it on being christlike. Teaching as Christ taught.
Friday we had dinner with the Miller's. They are originally from Hawaii and made us authentic Hawaiian food! They gave us Christmas presents!
Later we went to one of our ward Christmas Parties. It was super fun! We finally got our picture with Santa!!!
On Saturday I gave a talk on baptism at a baptism for a lady named Shay some other missionaries taught! I will send my talk for those of you who might want to read it.
On Sunday day we enjoyed our 6 hours in church! We had the oppurtunity to meet with our stake president, we talked about the work and he told us how he wants to focus on getting members to send referrals and to use social media.
Later that night we knocked on the Alexander's door, and it made our day when they called up the stairs that "the boys are here". Lol
The members here are amazing! We are really close to them. We have been encouraged by our Mission president to spend the evenening hours with members because they are the only people that will open their doors after sundown (5pm)
We have been getting alot of referrals, which is amazing because it's really hard to find people to teach here.

I love you  all!


This is our picture with Santa!
