Hey everyone!!
I hope everyone had a good Christmas! Thank you to everyone that sent me
presents, cards, stamps etc. I loved all of them, although unfortunately I got
the raindeer dust a day late, but I will save it for next year!
Well this week had been alright I guess. I survived all four dinner
appointments we had between Christmas Eve and Boxing day. I was ill a few days
ago (Don't worry, I'm fine now) but that wasn't related to the food (A member,
not a planned D.A tried to feed us rabbit... long story, I'll save that one for
when I get home, unless you all desberately want to know my horror story?). It
was a good Christmas though.
Unfortunately work wise, this week hasn't been as good as other weeks, but
that is only because it is the week between Christmas and New Years so this week
should be back to normal. We didn't get to see Vanessa and her girls, but they
did ask us to come by in the new year so we will see them this week. Also,
Simone we spoke to her on the phone and tried to get her to church yesterday,
but where she lives just now is right about a club so she barely gets enough
sleep on a normal weekend never mind new years weekend so she wasn't able to
make it. She said she wants to come this sunday though, and we will hopefully
see her again this week.
We didn't get to see as many of the less-actives we normally see, some were
unwell, and others just weren't home but we got to see a few which was good. We
also got to see a recent convert who has been struggling with some things for
the past few weeks and hasn't been out to church. We did lose contact with him
for the last two weeks as we couldn't get through to him on the phone and he was
never in, but we got to see him last night which was good. He is wanting to come
to church still which is a positive but he still has some issues that he is
trying to overcome. We are going to do all he can to help him though, and he
knows that the church is there to help him.
Well, in 11 hours we can all say "We survived 2012!" (I am going to try
and get a t-shirt with that printed on it!) I can't believe this year is over
already! Where has it gone? Behind us I guess... but it is a time where we can
look forward, make goals and plans to make 2013 better then this year has been.
Remember though, new years resolutions aren't just until february :P Hope you
all have a good new year!! I know I will be, I'll be sleeping! (bedtime still
applies, even on New Years.)
Well take care everybody.
Love you all!
Elder Mitchell
