Dear Family and Peeps,

This past week has gone great! Monday i bought this sweet green suit coat for Christmas for $5 at a thrift store! Hopefully there will be a Christmas party or something where it would be appropriate to wear it! On Tuesday we taught this guy for the first time about the Restoration of the gospel and he seemed to take it pretty well. We should see him again sometime this week! Yay!! It turns out that he is a graphic designer and he actually made the sign that was put next to the giant Christmas tree that was brought from Minnesota to Washington D.C! Haha who knew!? We, the members in our ward, and the Sister Missionaries in our ward have been working super hard on the Christmas musical fireside that will happen on Saturday! It should be so Spiritual and i cant wait!! On Thursday we taught a friend of the Stacy family and her daughter for the first time and the daughter asked us a bunch of questions and seems pretty interested in the gospel! They both seem pretty promising as well! We went to Grand Forks, ND, again on Friday for Zone Training Meeting and it was so Spiritual. We all bore a short, personal testimony about why the Savior is important to us and it was just so awesome. On Saturday my companion and I went trapping with an investigator named Tim. His family are all members and he's is so close to getting baptized but he just fears the full commitment of becoming a member. Anyways, Tim has expressed that it brings him closer to baptism when missionaries and members just spend time with him and help him out with stuff so thats just what we did! But he anticipated incorrectly how long it would take to check all of his traps and we were out in the woods with him from 7:30 am to 5 pm without any meals! Haha but it was fun and he caught a raccoon and a little weasel right in front of our eyes! super Cool!
