 |
| Christmas Dinner at the Hansens. Not sure what the crowns are for and Mikey said he didn't know either, haha! |
We got ourselves into some pretty
weird situations this week. As we always seem to haha so me and Elder Lopez on
Saturday didn't have anything scheduled because, well everybody was doing
family stuff still. So we decided we were still going to show the Lord we
cared. So we went out to door knock for the whole day!!! We had some success
which I will tell you about in my spiritual section. However, while we were
door knocking the weather took a turn for the worst. The rain came down like I
had never seen before. But we didn't stop we just kept knocking. After a little
while we started to notice that like nobody was answering or even being
outside. Finally, somebody answered and was like what are you guys doing? We
are under a tornado watch! hahaha and me and Elder Lopez didn't even know
because our phone is so crappy! So we drove to Walmart and had to hang there
for a while. haha later that night we had to help somebody move in during the
craziest rainstorm I have ever seen!!! My mom has a picture of us haha it was
sooo much fun actually. However,
like all of Bella Vista is flooded and it is pretty rough.

| Moving Sister Christofferson during Tornado Warning! |
 |
| Mikey & Elder Lopez had to rescue the other two elders after their car slid off the road! |
A super cool spiritual experience
we had while we were having this rough door knocking day. I was getting pretty
down on myself. Talking with the fam and then having to come back to kind of
the harsh reality of door knocking for hours was not doing too well and I was
being super selfish in my mind. Thinking like why does this have to be so hard?
Why do I have to do this? I want to be home with my family! Then, the words of
our prophet rang in my ears, "Why should it be easy for you, when it was
never easy for our perfect Savior." I picked myself up and started to look
outward and care about others. Immediately the day turned around. We had
investigators show up to church the next day (where I spoke in both sacraments
;) haha but man sacrifice really
brings forth the blessings of heaven.
Have an awesome New Years!!! Bring
on 2k16 and Meek now enters "His Dark year" haha the only year I will
not be home at all haha keep me in your prayers please haha love you all!
