The day the Prophet called me

Thanks so much for your email! I loved it! I am so happy that Bode is wrestling and that he is enjoying it. He is awesome! I got the package this week and Sister Carroll and I are DYING to know what all the gifts are in the stockings. We are having so much fun opening them! My week was awesome! We didn't have too many lessons though, we lost the car  on Wednesday , and we are getting sick. When we gave the car to the Williamston Elders  on Wednesday  night, no one was able to give us a ride back from the institute to our apartment. So, we walked all the way back to our apartment. It took an hour and a half and it was hard to walk through the snow. We ended up waking up the next morning sick. So, we called our District Leader and he said that it was a good idea to stay inside and not go out. So, we spent all day inside.  On Friday  we ended up having our lesson with Amanda and her friend Kami cancel because Amanda has been getting sick as well. So, we walked to t...

Snow has been coming like crazy!! It's so much fun! We woke up the other day only to look out our window and see everything covered in a few inches of snow! We are supposed to get 3 more inches of snow today which is exciting. We have been door knocking like crazy this past week. Which is so much fun! I think it relieves a lot of stress for me to be outside and talking to people. We had a lesson last Monday which went AMAZING!! It was with the Goulding girls (whos parents were less active but are now fully active again) and they picked a date for baptism!! They and their younger brother who turned 8 this year are getting baptized on December 23! We are so excited for them. The girls were glowing when their mom told us! We can't wait. It's been such a miracle that their dad started coming back to church. He has really bad social anxiety but such a strong testimony of the gospel. We also picked up a new investigator while door knocking this past week. We knocked on his door a...

Well, transfers happened and... SISTER CARROLL AND I ARE STAYING TOGETHER!!!! We were both expecting  that I would get transferred and Elder Peterson would stay. But, Elder  Peterson is leaving and I am staying in Meridian!! So, I will be in  this area for Christmas. I am so excited! We are going to be sending  out some Christmas cards after today. Can you send me addresses from  all the fams on the freeman side (dads bros and sisters)? Also from  your side as well. We are loving the life here in Meridian! We are  able to go out door knocking now and it is awesome. But, here's a pic  of our favorite snack!! A large fry and some peppermint hot chocolate  from McDonalds. Are we basic yet? Haha we also went out door knocking  one night and it was so cold! So, we broke out the winter gear. We had  to take pictures and one describes our relationship really well. Thank  you for sending me this stuff!! It kept me really warm! Also, ju...
