Howdy Everyone!
Welp...never thought I'd say it but looks like we're gonna have a white
Christmas down here in San Diego....white as in whitewater...it's been
raining down here for about 2 days straight and the news on the street is
that it's not gonna stop for another 2 weeks. They're predicting record
rainfall down here in Sunny SoCal. It's pretty crazy because already they're
blocking off streets because of the flooding everywhere... and there's been
a lot of wrecks around too... Dang Californias..they act like it only rains
a few times a year down here.... I think tomorrow we're actually going to go
play some fooseball in the rain... What happened this week was we had what's
called a MTE or Missionary Training Exhange today and yesterday for our zone
and another zone so what President wanted us to do was switch our P-day from
today to yesterday but still go email because he said he doesn't want any
angry phone calls from angry moms who don't get an email from their kid
haha.... So I guess other kids mommas are just like mine..."aren't all mamas
the same?" ha.... so that's the deal today and tomorrow President said it's
our early Christmas gift to email today... I'll take it! Especially because
tomorrow's gonna be a busy day! Let's see I've got Todd Ulrich's sealing
tomorrow which I got permission from President to go to! So that'll be
pretty sick, then mud football, then our district is gonna have a big nerf
gun war in the church building, then Thursday's our mission Christmas party,
Friday's Noche Buena, and then Saturday Feliz Navidad! So it's gonna be a
goooooood week coming up!
It's been a good time at Christmas this year... What we've been doing as a
companionship and a district is wrapping Joy to the World, The Testaments,
The Restoration, Mr. Krugers Christmas DVD's, Copies of the Book of Mormon
etc. just all these kinds of stuff and we've been handing them out like
candy to people; members to give to their friends, investigators, people
whom we talk to on the street... Just anybody and giving them a gift that
will really change their lives and those around them...truly what we're
doing is giving these people access to the Atonement of Jesus Christ in
which other ways cannot be accessed unless through us and the church we
represent....and what an incredible Christmas it's been! Goin out with a
bang this last one! We've also been caroling and handing out our Christmas
cards to our members and investigators and knocking on doors of apartment
complexes and singing in the courtyard..It's actually been really
effective...we've found a few families to teach through it so it's produced
some good results. And you can just tell that's there's a different spirit
about the people whom we're already teaching and the people in whom we talk
with. It's pretty cool and I hope that everyone's able to feel that same
spirit that comes from the joy of Christmas! Have a HAPPY HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!
Love you all and ENJOY!!!!
Feliz Navidad!
Con Mucho Amor,
Elder Ryan Lawter
