It seemed like a short week yet at the same time it seems like I have been here for a while. It was a little disorienting to be down in the valley were every other car is a Corvette or a Lamborghini and there are actually restaurants and stores. A pretty big contrast from the Indian reservation. That's not to put down the reservation, I still love that place and want to go back. Just a lot different. We went straight to it once we got to the valley. I got my companion, dumped my stuff at the apartment and we managed to get a good lesson that night. The next day we managed to catch a couple people home, and I got to meet them. Then, also there was a lesson with one of our recent converts and he was really cool to meet. Then, Elder Meine, my companion, he got sick. So, we made some calls and I managed to get out and proselyte with a member. I went with Brother Nuttell. He was a pretty cool guy, I enjoyed going with him. We had a super awesome lesson with a less active family and got a random call to give a blessing. So, it was all crazy and so much has happened in just a week. But, I am starting to settle in.
I had a very nice Sunday this week and I hope you did too. We had five hours of church because we cover two wards and it was cool being back into a ward. Definitely a lot of change. It almost feels like I am starting over aging because I was in Fort Apache for six months. But, anyway it was fast Sunday and I managed to get my self up there and bare my testimony. It was super cool and nice. It has been awhile since I have done that. I guess I am a good speaker because both wards asked me to speak next week so, I guess that is happening. I am actually excited though, speaking isn't all that bad, it is pretty fun.
It's the Christmas season! I gotta watch the Christmas devotional and it was super good! I have been reading Jesus The Christ, Matthew, Luke, the end of Helaman and the beginning of 3 Nephi. It makes me so happy to think about Christmas and what is means and the purpose of our savior. I hope you have been finding that same joy.
Love you all! I hope you are all having a good Christmas!
