Wellll to start of the week (this was really our last normal week this month! ha starting this coming week... we will have so many Christmas things to do... it’s crazy! ha)
Tuesday: We had zone meeting clear in West New York, New Jersey (that is quite the mouth full to say...) but it was a great little drive down there! It was Sister Legs first time seeing the city and she loved it! :) And guess what, I didn't even drive on the bridge this time! haha But we had a fun Zone meeting! We got there and our Zone Leaders gave us Santa hats so the pictures below will show that! But it was a lot of fun and the message was great! This month we are all working on Remembering Christ! That is one of the most important things... if we but Remember Him, we won't ever have to worry! :) It's just the remembering that becomes the hard part! But I am grateful to work on that, along with helping our investigators as well! After that, our young investigator called us! She had been having some family problems so we hadn't seen her in a while, but she called us and told us she was available and to come over! :) It was a great lesson and she is still wanting to be baptized and come to church! She is an amazing girl! Keep praying for her!
Wednesday: Now this is where the sad day comes in... ha!
But it was just because we had back to back appts. and all but 2 juked us! But
it was okay because we were led by the Spirit to be exactly where we needed to
be at that moment! It was amazing! So we spent all day getting juked then that
night after our last lesson juked us, we had a Zone goal to ask to people to be
baptized this day! ha so I told Sister Legg, since all our appts. had fallen
through we had to go and ask someone!! So I had this feeling to go to Spring
Valley, which was really far away from where we were... but we decided to go
anyways! So we get there and we were going to go to this main street that had
lots of people on it we could talk to when suddenly we saw a Recent Convert
(his mom is one of our investigators who is going to be baptized soon and also
juked us that day...) so we saw him walking and he looked lost so we yelled out
to him! We told him to follow us! We went and parked and he said that he didn't
know where his mom was and he was locked out of his apt! So we said okay, let’s
go try again and if not, you can come out and be a missionary with us! :) haha
so we just kind of made sure he was okay... so we went to see one of his
friends and invited him to be baptized! That was great! But then we went back
to try to see if his mom was home yet and we were ringing the door and finally
she came up and answered and she was a wreck!!! She said she had come home and
pretty much passed out and didn't hear anything! She was soo grateful her son
was with us... she was just getting ready to go out and look for him! It was so
amazing to be driving in the right place at the right time to see him! I felt
like a little angel watching over him! But this is the sad but really cool
part! She really wants to be baptized but she hasn't been able to come to
church because she works on Sundays... Well she told us on Wednesday night the
reason she was sleeping was because she lost her job that morning and she came
home and just cried herself to sleep... she was really struggling.. It was
really good for us to be there at that time to comfort her as well! But one
last cool thing... We have been praying for months now that she would be able
to somehow get Sundays off so that she could come to church... As sad as it is
that she lost her job, we saw that this is the way the Lord was preparing her
to be able to follow the commandments and get baptized! It was an amazing thing
to see the Lords hand in this whole entire day! :) So hopefully she will be
baptized on Jan 5! She was even at church on Sunday! :)
Thursday: We actually had a great day! We did weekly
planning and then we were able to see a new lady! She was really sweet... she
told us she was almost baptized once, she was a former investigator and so we
will hopefully be able to set up another time to see her! :) After that, we
were able to see our young investigator again! We just read with her then she
came to Young Womens that night and had a lot of fun as well! :) But that was
really all that we did... still a good day! We also came home to a package...
from my awesome grandma! A CHRISTMAS TREE! :) Our apt looks soo cute now! :)
Love you! :)
Friday: We had appointments all day... and everyone juked us! :( Sad... but for dinner Sister Legg and I cooked up some really good chicken and rice... we got all creative and that helped us feel better! :) Plus we were able to find lots of Potentials! :)

Saturday: Full of service day! We spent the morning
helping the youth clean up garbage off the road... ya know what those troubled
youth do when they pick up stuff off the high way? Yes... that was us! haha but
it was for a good cause! Our ward adopted a highway so we have a sign up that
says the name of the church so it's good for them to see then all we have to do
is clean up the road 4 times a year! So that was fun! :) haha After that we
were able to go to Super Saturday for Relief Society and we did some more
service there by making stockings! :) Then we were able to go and see a family
in the ward and ask them to help us get an investigator to church! We have a plan
to get him there next week! :) That way he will have a friend!
Sunday: What a great Sunday, after a roughish week, we
were able to be blessed and have two investigators at church! :) One was a guy
that we met on the street one day! He is actually a mailman and he is from the Philippians
and he said he talked with missionaries there... so he said that he would come
to church! Sooo he did! And he loved it! :) So hopefully we will be able to
start teaching him soon! He is super prepared! :)! We also visited a member
that night then we were able to watch the Christmas Devotional! :) That was
super good! I loved it! :) But that was our night!
It was still a good week! :) And even when things don't go the way we want, I have realized that the Lord always has a better way! And if we are listening HE will place us right where we need to be! :) Wellll Hope everyone has a great week! Remember that I love you! :) And always REMEMBER your Savior! :)
Love, Sister Dahl
