It's Christmas Time

This Sunday we had an activity where we invited everyone we could think of to watch the First Presidency Christmas devotional at the church and enjoy hot cocoa and cookies!  I was in charge of setting up the stream!  So we showed up an hour early to get the water hot and set up the t.v.   We ended up only getting 2 or 3 families there but we got a nonmember who came with a member friend.  Goldmine!!  We talked to him before the devotional and he said he had a lot of questions about our church and he said he didn't understand why there were so many churches.  He said he thought there should just be one true church.  Me and Elder Wise were smiling from ear to ear saying ya, we know one! 

After that, we watched the devotional and I set up the video so that is was coming through our Roku box so we could get HD video and it worked great up until halfway through president Nelson’s talk when the internet went down.  So with my heart pounding, I switched over to the crummy satellite audio/visual but because of that everyone in the branch thinks I'm a miracle worker when it comes to technology.  So that makes things interesting.  But the nonmember said that it [devotional] answered a lot of his questions and he wanted to meet with us.  So me and Elder wise were pretty stoked about that!

On Friday we went to the Atchison’s home for dinner.  After doing some stop byes we went to their house and oh my gosh they had a dog that was just like my dog Sadie from home.  Personality was the same,  same size, and clean.  The only difference was the color of her fur.  I made sure to get some doggy hugs and kisses in before we left.  Sister Atchison also made the best dinner I've had since being out.  She asked on Sunday what food I missed from home and I said, Mexican, and she went all out and it was all homemade it was amazing!

I don't know how to explain this but here in Michigan it will be pitch black out at 8 and the clouds will be glowing in 360 degrees and keep in mind the closest big city is Saginaw 50 miles away I couldn't get a picture of it but just believe me!
