Home again Jiggety Jig

14 December 2015

Anyone know how to spell "jiggety"? Anyway. no matter.

This was the ultimate week of swashbuckling miracles.

Pam

a short list:
-Pam, an investigator that we ALMOST dropped had her neck surgery and
we were actually able to see her and build a great relationship.  She
chose March 31 as her baptismal date, which is her deceased daughters
birthday.
-We saw ALL of our investigators, including ones we couldn't get ahold
of for weeks.
-we had probably 15-20 nonmembers at our Christmas party, and were
able to get 3 of their numbers to see them.
-the Johnsons came to church

The Johnsons

-I wept profusely and felt loved.
-my rockin companions grasped the area with two hands and already have
things rollin'
-I wasnt trunky!
-We were fed 3 lunches in two days
-We nail painted old people.
-Jonnisue, a recent convert and i were battling to finish the Book of
Mormon, and she won :)
-The Divineys had a lesson of the baptismal interview questions and
they are pretty much set! just a couple of things to tie up.
-The ward council was GUNG ho for an idea we had about starting a 40
day fast in this ward as well.
-we had the best ever p-day last week in Seward, on the gorgeous beach.

I love my life.  God is so good. Thank you for all your support.  I love you.

Laurel spent her P day in Seward. This is her favorite photo of the day. If that spaceship takes her home, I'll be really mad.  --Editor

What a week!  This ward has decided that we need to sing for our pay,
so we are singing for a relief society lesson, a baptism, and a relief
society dinner all in one week.  All different songs and arrangements!
Thanksgiving was a happy mess, including a cinnamon roll breakfast, a
large dinner, and a cheesecake competition wherein we were the judges.
I am now very well rounded.



We also took some amazing drives this week, passing Anchorage there
were some stellar frozen waterfalls.

We also were able to start the new Christmas initiative!  A Savior is
Born.  I tell you, Heavenly Father really knows how to chasten me.  I
wasn't sure really how i felt about it, but we went to go see a lady
who was gone, so we knocked on her neighbors' door and met a cute
little family.  We asked them if we could share a short christmas
video with them and to my surprise, they said "absolutely!" after
watching it they talked for a great deal of time about how much they
wanted to help people get back into the true meaning of christmas and
accepted the invitation to read Luke 2 with us in a future date.
Sister Galli=chastened.  SO.... be better than I! Share this video. It
will touch people.  You will love it.
