Weekly Update

Hello,

What an awesome Christmas! On Christmas morning my companion and I were running around like crazy. Everyone wanted the missionaries to come visit them and of course they all fed us. It was so awesome! We also had a small Christmas Devotional thing at our apartment. We sang hymns and bore testimony and the spirit was really strong! It was so good to talk to my family and to hear how they are doing and here there voices. It was amazing that I ended the phone call with a big smile on my face and was re energized and ready to go. We went up to Christianas house right after the phone calls on Christmas because it is also her birthday. It was so much fun to be with them. They are such an amazing family. She fed us goat peppe soup and it also had Cow tongue in it. I was telling my family how much I love Goat meat. Its what most people prepare here for there Christmas dinner. Christiana makes us Goat peppe soup quite often too. Usually if any of us are sick then she will prepare it. So Christmas was awesome. I'm very much ready for it to be over and to get into 2011. Transfers are next Sunday I have no idea what will happen. But I'm happy to be anywhere that the Lord wants me to be. We have some absolutely amazing investigators right now. The only problem is they aren't coming to church. The biggest thing that is holding them back is that they are all so used to the praise and worship and there old churches. They want to stand up and "Shake for Jesus" So the way that we hold our service is very different for them. But it will just take time and conversion. I love the work so much. I was amazed at how Neutral I am. I wasn't very homesick. I thought well it would be cool to be home with my family. But I was also very content and happy being here with my Sierra Leone Family and enjoying the holiday with them. Everything is going so well. I want to thank you all so much for the Packages Letters and support that you have given me. I love you all so much and hope that you had a Merry Christmas and hope you have a Happy New Year.
