This week was pretty good. It snowed for 4 days straight so there is a LOT of snow.
On Monday night we got to meet a Refugee family from Rwanda. They insisted that we stay for dinner. They made rice and beans and so we dished up our plates with a little bit of food. Their oldest boy however got mad and said you need more so he piled our plates up super high. And we felt bad cause we couldn't eat it all! Tuesday we had loaves and fishes. We had a couple of lessons that went really well. Then we went to a referrals house and met with her and her husband. Her husband had a heart attack and 3 strokes all in a row. He went to the spirit world for a while and they told him that he could stay but he wouldn't be with his wife or he could go back and be with his wife for eternity. So they have been meeting with missionaries for a year and really want to be baptized together, so they are waiting for him to get better. They are such cool people. We love them already. Wednesday we had lots of lessons and some door knocking and then we went to ARP with one of our members. Thursday we drove to Battle Creek for District meeting and interviews with President. Then we went to Subway after for lunch with the Elders. We had lots of Less Active lesson dinners and then we weekly planned. Friday we had Loaves and Fishes again and we door knocked a lot. Saturday was the ward Christmas Party I made Chocolate chip cookies for the party and they went fast. After that we went to the nursing home with the Elders and they and Sister Merriman sang while I played the piano. It was super fun. :) Then we went and saw Debbie and the Clark family it was great. Yesterday (Sunday) church was canceled because of the snow. So we went finding out in the snow which was pretty fun. Love you all! Always strive to remember the True meaning of Christmas! :) Love Sister Gittins
