Week 23 Orlando - Conway East

I can't believe that it's already Christmas! MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody! So our mission President asked us a good question this week. He said, "What gift are you going to give to Christ this Christmas?" Christ has given us everything so the least we can do is give a portion of the things we have back. One thing that I have learned this Christmas is that it doesn't take presents or toys to make you happy. All it takes is a little bit of Christ in your eyes.

This week was a great week! We saw a lot of miracles. We set a baptism date with a couple of our investigators, Jennifer and Julian! It was such a spiritual lesson. Julian is the coolest kid ever. After our first lesson with him, he was so excited about feeling the spirit that he said a prayer with one of his friends so that he could feel the same feeling. It was the best experience ever. It was the same investigators that we tracked into 2 weeks ago. Also this week we got a referral for a bible. When we went to his house he let us right in and we sat down for a while. When we brought up the Book of Mormon he said that it is exactly what he has been looking for. He ordered a bible but what he really wanted was a Book of Mormon. We are planning to meet with him again tomorrow and I'm super pumped about it.

Recently for some random reason we have been running into a lot of Russian people. Yesterday we were contacting people on our bikes when we ran into a lady pushing her kid in a stroller. When we tried to talk to her she said, "I don't speak English, I speak Russian." Then out of nowhere Elder Gale started speaking Russian! We shared a video with her in Russian and gave her Mormon.org and the address to our church. It was so cool haha. Other than that it was a slow week. We have been a little bit sick but it's all good. Well I love you all and hope you have a merry Christmas!
