Another week has come and gone and it's hard to believe that the next transfer is already coming up in a couple of weeks. Just like last year, I'm really starting to miss the cold weather. It is still really weird to me to be coming up to the Christmas season and not to have any change in the weather.
Things have been pretty exciting lately. With all of the events happening around the world, a lot of the world leaders are gathering for a conference in Manila. They have shut down a lot of the city for security concerns and everyone here (and I' m sure everywhere else) is excited to see what's going to happen.
Everything else is going well. We just finished up the filter runs this month, so hopefully we will have some time to get out and do a lot of work before next month, transfers, and Christmas Zone Conference. Everyone in the office is just waiting for the big rush of everything that comes in around Christmas.
We are really pushing the new church initiative right now. It's called "A Savior Is Born" and we already have a ton of pass along cards and material going out through the mission. I'm really excited to see how the mission can use this to help the work. It seems like the Church is really trying to emphasize the purpose of Christ's birth and what this world would bee like without a Savior. As far as work goes, we have been getting back to the office pretty late for the past week, but the other night we had about two hours to go out and work. We didn't have any appointments and no one was available. So, we were stuck doing the same thing we usually do in that situation. We walked down the street behind the mission home to try and talk to some people. I had a little bit of a negative attitude and was thinking that there is no way that there is someone on this street who hasn't been talked to before by missionaries. Well, I guess we happened to find the one. She was really interested in our message and even went across the street and found a male to sit in the lesson so that we could teach her. It was a really spiritual experience for all of us and we're very excited to visit her again.
Thank you again for all of the support that you continue to show. I really can't think of anywhere that I'd rather be right now.
