hey hey! 

it was a good week here as always and we were extra thankful this week. I just wanted to let you all know how grateful I am for my Savior, Jesus Christ and His willingness to descend below all things, so we could repent and come unto Him. 

♦ we had interviews this week which is always my favorite! President Brennan, our mission president has so much wisdom and it is such a great opportunity to learn and recognize where to improve! bonus... we got qdoba while in Battle Creek :)

♦ we were able to go and serve at a church in Sturgis on Thanksgiving! we served people food and were in charge of making the coffee (who knows if it even tasted ok lol). it was wonderful spending time serving others and those who are in need.

♦ sister nelson forgot her tag when we went to interviews and I happened to have an extra so we were both sister johnson that day! we had a good laugh about it and people were very confused

♦ we had thanksgiving dinner with the Wierschkes! we love them and it was wonderful sharing the Christ Child video with them and the friends they invited to see. Christ's birth was so humbling and watching it brings the spirit more than anything else. 

Thanksgiving dinner 

♦ we have been sharing the Christ Child video with our friends and members everyday! i don't think there is anything greater to watch over and over again than this. please take 18 minutes to watch and feel the peace that it brings. 

♦ me and sister nelson made a goal to read the book of mormon together cover to cover by the end of the year and it has become my favorite part of our night! I learn so much from her and I love the strength that it has brought to our companionship. 

we took literally one picture this week i apologize 

here are some people i am very grateful for (pino not pictured but still loved)

also so grateful for these ones. everyone send me pictures of your dogs and give them a good pet for me :)

♦ warren and elizabeth came to church this week after having no contact in over a month. the Lord is so willing to bless us when we act in faith and we know that this was a great blessing!

♦ sue is seriously THEE cutest. we love her. she has so much faith and has been working so hard to give up coffee and smoking and she said she has felt SO much love from Christ. it makes me so grateful to have this gospel and seeing the impact it has had on her.

♦ also ya girl is goin home in exactly a year from today! mark your calendars and get excited :)

Part 7 of talking about the Christ Child video.. PLEASE WATCH IT. there is nothing more humbling than watching how the Son of God was born. I hope we can all work to focus our Christmas season on Him, and the importance of WHY Christ came- which is because he loves us. So let’s show Him that we love him by lighting the world and remembering Him.♥
