As you could probably imagine, we had our temple trip this week. We went on Friday. It was so nice to see so many missionaries in the temple, dressed in white, doing missionary work on behalf of those who are deceased. We were able to do an endowment session and went through the visitor’s center afterwards for a few minute before our ride arrived to go back to our area. I couldn’t seem to find the family file name you had mailed to me earlier, so I had to use a temple file name.
We haven’t been able to find any new investigators this week, but President gave us permission to use our portable DVD players (as we don’t currently have iPads–yet) to show this year’s Christmas videos to people we meet at knockout, and it has helped a lot!
I think I mentioned before that our area expanded as the other set of missionaries were emergency transferred out, since then, we have been fed every day for the past few weeks! Yay and not. I’ve been trying to go on a migraine diet. It’s helped a little bit so far, but not with the food that we’ve been fed.
We watched the First Presidency Christmas Devotional yesterday evening, it was amazing! The spirit of the season was so strong through the music and the talks given. I really liked President Uchtdorf’s talk on the spirit of generosity this holiday season.
