INVESTIGATORS:
so, John is good, I think, we haven't been able to see him except once this week, where we had him over for dinner at the Hale's with the elders. I've been concerned on how he views us, whether professionally or too casually, so that's been holding me a back a bit. I'm probably too worried about it. But we gave him the responsibility of asking his fellowshipper for a lift to the Christmas party and church over the weekend, but came to neither. Bro. Quirke told us that he went to pick him up, but he didn't show, so we're not sure what happened there :/ We'll see how he is this week.
We didn't get a chance to see Hannah before she left to spend the holidays with her family in England, so we just need to stay in contact with her, as we can, even though she's in another country.
EVENTS FROM THE WEEK:
We worked on a board for street proselyting, which turned into a much bigger project than we were expecting. We had Moves P-day, which was great, because no one in my district moved! We spent a lot of time with members, which is the best part about Christmas, because its a great opportunity to build better relationships with them! The Branch Christmas party was better than we initially expected at the beginning of the night! We helped the Primary put together Gingerbread houses, dinner was great, and we got to meet a referral, Mary, who is just a BRILLIANT woman. I really hope we get the opportunity to teach her.
STUDY:
I have really enjoyed reading James E. Talmage's Jesus the Christ, the couple of chapters precursing and describing the days leading up to and the event of the Savior's birth (chapters 7 &8?), so that could be a good reading for you this week, including the traditional Luke 2 :) Sister Morrison and I have been studying that together, and the thing that has stuck out to me the most is the humility of every character and the entire nature of His Birth, and the joy of the heavens, that the mortals barely glimpsed! They only saw a child, but the Spirit touched their hearts and testified to them His divinity, even if they didn't understand what He would do to save the world. I love my Savior, and have so much respect for his humility more now. I am humbled by His majesty and His gift to me.
ME:
I'm well. A little under the weather, but I've had a lot of time to reflect on what makes a good missionary, and I know even more now that I want to be a GREAT missionary. There's no reason not to be.
I have to go now, but I want you all to know that I love you, and that I hope you have an amazing, MERRY CHRISTMAS
See you all soon!
Take Care
Love Always,
Sister Mary Ann Kirkpatrick
