Christmas Time is coming and some favorite quotes...

Our Thanksgiving Branch (no further explanation was given??)
I like guacamole now. Some of them. It has to be homemade. And it has to be quality.

We were standing on our balcony taking a break from planning and I dropped my planner off the side of the ledge on accident. It was hilarious. I'm not sure if that's funny to everyone or not, but we laughed. A LOT. haha. 

One of our favorite families signed up for us to come over for Christmas. We are soooo blessed and so excited! :)


Quotes that inspired me this week:
"We encourage you to dedicate yourself to living the gospel with greater purpose than ever before." David M. McConkie

"Priesthood authority has been restored so families can be sealed eternally." Elder Nelson

"A grateful person is rich in contentment." Elder Bednar

"Sometime questions arise because we simply don't have all the information and we just need a bit more patience. When the entire truth is known, things that didn't make sense to us before will be resolved to your satisfaction." President Uchtdorf

Which leads to one of my favorite scriptures: Mosiah 4:9. We really and truly don't know everything. That is obvious. But God does. We need to wait for His timing. When His miracles should be revealed, they will be. That is why we have a modern prophet! 

We got to teach so many great lessons this week. I have felt the Spirit bear witness through me so much this week.

The biggest miracles of the week is a former investigator texting us and wanting to "study" again. He is moving out of our area but is miraculous to hear from him again! I am so excited for the missionaries in Raleigh to teach him. It is going to be fantastic. To quote him, " I know I am going to be a part of your church someday soon." haha I love him. There is a slight language barrier between us, so it is probably for the best he is moving! It is amazing to see the Lord preparing His elect children to hear the gospel.

We had a great lesson with a woman and set a baptismal date for her! We were so excited and she was planning on coming to church with her family and everything. Then she left town for an unknown amount of time. Missionary work still goes on.

Today we may tour UNC. Or maybe we will next week. I had a Godiva chocolate covered strawberry earlier. The cashier was a member and gave us a discount. It was great haha. :)
A member gave this to me since it reminded her of me! haha
