Christmas Party Week- Dec. 14, 2015

Hey everyone,

This week we have done a lot of tracting and finding. We are hoping got find some new investigators. Bill is doing great. We have been reading with him and he is teaching us new things. We went over the Plan of Salvation and he really liked it. He knows where he wants to be and how we need to get there. This week we had our Relief Society Christmas party. We had our investigator Susan come with us. She was really nervous but had a great time. She was able to meet several of the sisters and make friendships. We showed the video "He is the Gift". If you haven't seen it. Go watch it. It is about how Christ is the gift to us. We also talked about how God send his only Beloved Son for us as a way for us to return home. This week the weather was in the 60s so we were able to paint Peggy's fence. It was a lot of fun. But we were super sore from it. Peggy is doing great. We love helping her out. We also were able to meet with Arlene. She is an investigator that we teach and serve. We helped her clean her house and then show her the video, " A Savior is Born." She really liked that video and how it shows what Christmas is about. Then on Saturday was our Ward Christmas Party. We had Susan come with us also. We ate cookies and hot chocolate and sang Christmas songs. It was a great party. Then Susan was able to meet with some ward members and were able to ask them questions. It was great. She really wants to learn and understand our religion. at church the speakers talked a lot about missionary work. A couple quotes that stuck out to me were, A thousand Miles begins with a Single Step. We must follow Christ and he will lead us. Another one was If we feel the Spirit, we need to tell others that we feel the spirit. That is my goal this week.  Well that sums up my week. Here are my ponderizing scriptures for the week:

2 Nephi 32:8-9, It talks about how the spirit is there to teach us to pray. We all need to listen to the spirit and follow the promptings.

D&C 58: 26-27 it talks about how we need to be anxiously engaged in a good cause.

Well I hope you all are having a great week!!!

Love Sister Alisha Carol Betts
