This week was preeetty slow. We didn't get to
teach Meghan and her mom and granny again but hopefully this week!
Richard our recent convert got the Priesthood and he blessed the
sacrament yesterday. He did so well! He also gave a rockin' testimony,
we are so proud of him and how far he's come :)
We went to a less actives flat and guessssss what their cat's name is.
Just guess.
Hitler.
hahahaha.
I'm dead. Why in the world his name is Hitler I have no idea. They said
he's such a great cat and I'd agree on account of he didn't attack me.
Emma,
the wife, knows the church is true but her husband has been having
doubts recently. He wouldn't really go into detail but Emma won't go to
church unless Michael does. Pray for them!
While street contacting:
"Hi my friend and I are talking to people about Christmas!"
"Before
you go any further, you're nice girls. I know you're Mormon's, I know
what you're going to say but I'm happy with where I am."
"Oh that's okay, we're just showing people a video about Christmas."
"I don't need it!"
Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth!? (name that movie..)
We are talking about Christmas! Oh well #ontothenextone
I
was "kebaptized" this weekend! All the newbies have to eat a kebab. But
not the chicken kind, oh no. You have to eat a doner kebab. Which doner
meat, I'll have you know, is illegal in America. No one knows what it's
made of. Mom and dad, I hope you're proud. I ate it.
Well, not all of it because it was a lot of food. But I'm a real life missionary now. swaaaaag.
We had dinner at the Whithorns on Friday night, they are awesome! Cutest babies in the world holy cow. So hard not to pick them up!
And apparently there is a misconception going around that American's don't iron.
....now
I'm not sure what brought this on. Maybe 'muricans are slacking in this
department but my advice to you all, iron your clothes so the Irish
know that we can do it.
Have you all seen the
He Is The Gift Initiative? Go to YouTube right now and search it if you
haven't. The church has spent a lot of money on this-- rented out the
main advertisement on YouTube yesterday, bought out some of those TV
billboards in Time Square, NYC and all of the missionaries around the
world are pushing this hard.
The world has got so caught up
with money and presents during this holiday and so we are trying to
remind everyone why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. Christmas
is all about Christ. Watch the video, share it and remember Jesus
Christ and his sacrifice this Christmas season. #sharethegift
Love you all! You're in my prayers.
Sister Skagen
