Hey everyone!
I hope you are all doing well and had a good week!
This week was pretty awesome and we had some great things happen!
This week we had a district fast. Each companionship fasted for another in the district. And then we had a branch fast on Sunday for missionary work. Lots of good things happened because of it!
First, we got a referral for an awesome lady named Shannon. We have met her before at dinner with a member family. That was about a month ago, and just recently on Friday, we got a referral for Shannon! Apparently she contacted the missionary call center, and requested a Book of Mormon and to meet with missionaries to take the discussions! So were going by tomorrow to bring her a copy of the Book of Mormon and start traching her! Super excited for her! Her husband isn't too interested, but I think he'll be open to sitting in on the lessons. They also have 2 awesome kids! Pray for their family that they'll be receptive and have open hearts!
Another person we got referred to this week was someone some sisters in our district met while tracting. He believes in Christ, and likes church, but doesn't have a church to go to that has an interpreter. He was pretty excited when he heard we have an ASL Branch. He's been hard to contact, but we'll get him soon!
There's another guy we met on Saturday at the branch Christmas party. His name is Jeanpierre. We invited him to the party, cause we had his number, and he showed up! He came pretty late, but he met like half the branch, including the branch President and elders quorum president. He's a super chill guy and has strong faith. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he'd be down to have us come over and discuss with him! Pray that he has an open heart! Such a great guy!
We also had a younger member couple (both RM's. Met on the mission. Super cute, I know! 
) invite some friends over for a Christmas get together next week, and invited us to share a Christmas lesson with them. Should be good!
Ken is doing good, as always! Just trucking along with him, helping him understand more and more.
Laura has been MIA the past week... We had an appointment with her, but she wasn't home and we haven't been able to call her and talk to her.
We had an awesome opportunity to do some service the first of December with the youth in the branch! It was at a small horse ranch owned by member couple of one of the wards here. It was pretty sweet! They had about 15 horses. We just helped clean up the leaves and hay and such before the snow comes. One of the horses tried to get me as I was standing there in front of it's corral. I turned my back to talk to someone, and it bit my shirt! 
So I guess you could say me and that horse are pretty close now.
Things are going really well here!! We saw a lot of miracles this week, and hope they keep coming!
Love you all and hope you have a great week! Keep reading the scriptures! Keep loving the Lord!
