Christmas is coming!

This week we were able to teach our friend Kathy again!  She is doing super well and now we have her on a cycle where we meet every Saturday.  When we visited her this last Saturday she had read the account in 1 Nephi 11 when Nephi gives the interpretation of the tree of life.  We were able to answer her questions about the symbolism and we were even able to show her the Book of Mormon video about the tree of life.  She loved it and said she wanted to see more of them!  Unfortunately, though she lived in the Sisters area so we had to pass her off to the sisters.

On Tuesday we went out and did visits with the bishopric.  We were able to sit down and talk with 2 different people the first one was Philip.  We were able to talk to him for a while and build a relationship.  He eventually said that we could come back!  The best part about Phillip is his wife isn't a member.  We are hoping to reactivate Phillip and we are hoping she will eventually follow.  I also got to sit down and talk with Bob again!!!!!!!   If you remember I taught Bob a couple of lessons up in West Branch about a year ago.  He was just as talkative this time as he was last time.  I have never met somebody who can talk quite like he can! 

On Wednesday the Bay City sisters texted us and asked if we wanted to help out with a hot chocolate stand in downtown Bay City.  Of course, we said absolutely!  Not many people were out walking around, so me and Elder Eccles went and we talked to a couple of fishermen.  We offered them hot chocolate, but unfortunately, none of them were interested in hot chocolate.  We were able to strike up a conversation with one of them and we eventually talked him into accepting a copy of the Book of Mormon.  Besides that we talked to one or two other people, enjoyed some hot cocoa, and closed up shop.
