I don't really remember much of what we did this week but one day we were walking out to a house kinda far away down the highway and 3 little kids on the other side yelled us down. One of them was like 2yrs old running around in a diaper and gave me a heart attack being so close to the road. But as a missionary we can't grab them or anything so it was just a whole thing convincing him to go run closer to his house. Anyways the other 2 are 7 years old and 5 yrs old and they stopped us because they had taken all the random books they had and were trying to sell them. In the end we gave them a Book of Mormon and said we'd go by another day and talk to their mom. The next day we were walking on the completely opposite side of the town when we saw a little kid on the road with his family and this little 7-year-old had that Book of Mormon in his hand. We stopped and talked to the mom who said we can come by and she said that he just wanted to bring the book everywhere. It's like he wouldn't put it down. And well, that was just the cutest and most inspiring little thing to see. This 7yr old boy, who can't even read it, knew inside there was something special about the gift we gave him. I hope I cherish the Book of Mormon as much as he does.
My companion was sick one day so we stayed in until the evening and I read like 20 chapters of alma and reorganized my closet while she slept.
I love reading a chapter of Luke every day! Do it with me!!
We have transfers this week so we'll see if anything happens!
Love you all and hope you are enjoying this Christmas season!!! It doesn't quite feel like Christmas here because i'm sweating but as we serve others and focus on Christ, I think it'll be the best Christmas!
