New level of amazing...

So, all of our recent converts and investigators and a majority of our potentials that we have been blessed with were GONE for the week of Christmas.  : (     All except the...... S****T FAMILY!!!

Have I mentioned how amazing that they are? Well a new level of amazing has opened in our hearts for them, and that could only have developed with new and amazing Christmas Traditions with them such as reading 3rd Nephi 1 and watching the “Prophet of the Restoration” with them, and inviting them to watch “17 miracles” and enjoy the spirit which that GREAT media can bring into your life!

They REALLY enjoyed the prophet of the restoration and they all said that it helped put the experiences of Joseph Smith into a WHOLE NEW LIGHT! We also spent part of Christmas Eve with them and had the opportunity to open gifts with them on Christmas Day.  They have really made us part of their family!

It is so wonderful to feel the spirit increase each time we teach them something new about the Gospel, and see how quickly they incorporate it into their lives! J*** has not smoked since Christmas Eve and he is doing GREAT on that note! 

The Sicklers got back on Saturday and they really enjoyed the time alone with just the 4 of them. They went to an indoor water park and had a great time just enjoying Chicago and really had "a blessed time" 

D****a has proved herself by coming back to church last week then... she fell and hurt her foot and may have torn all the tendons in her foot so she is now on sick leave... again... that lady is the most accident prone person that I know :) I love her she is so amazing!

hmmm I know it is short but it is all that I have to report, so LOVE YOU ALL,
