hey hey

Hey,
Sorry that i didnt email this monday. It feels like an eternity since i have sent an email to all of you. Elder Eversole and Elder Folker were sick this past monday so we all decided to email today together. I am fine. no worries on my part. I dont have any syptoms and I have been staying very healthy.
So christmas was great! I had a great time seeing some of my favorite families. We spent a good amount of time with the Dawsons, Noldens, Josh and Julie, and delivered some christmas cards. We also went to Waffle House for breakfast compliments of Lloyd Rasmusson. That was a total blast! we did a really cool gift exchange. I got Elder Kiplienan a jason mraz cd along with one of my favorite shirts that i have had for years. he has loved it so i knew it would mean alot to him. he got me some juice. 5 big bottles of naked 100% juice. yum.
So here is the deal with the investigators this week. We have mainly been working with Josh, Cody, Edward, and Madison. We have found this to be somewhat difficult as Cody has brought up a bunch of anti. this is frustrating only because it is hindering the progress of the others. He is a great guy with good intentions but his heart has become hardened for the time being. Right now, we have a lesson with them at the church tonight. We are praying that the spirit will be with us as we attempt to resolve the concerns which they have.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being in this area. It has been a blessing getting to know so many wonderful families. I am excited to see what the next transfer has in store for me however! We plan on working hard this last week we have together. The lord has blessed us with a car this week to do so!
Funny story... so there is one red mazda 3 in the mission. I saw it once and said... man i really want to drive that once! unfortunately the car was assigned english... so i was never going to get the opportunity. Surely enough though, I was praying for a red mazda for this area and when we went to go pick it up... they had reassigned the red mazda from english to us! haha. the lord provides yet again!
anyways... i would ask that you pray for those that have been affected by anti. I love them to death and want to see them accept the gospel. Thank you to everyone who sent me some christmas love! it was great to get that! i enjoyed this christmas so much focusing on the true meaning.
